Espiritu Santo Land Grant


“Espiritu Santo” Grant


Original Grantee Jose Salvador De La Garza
284,415.8 acres, Cameron County, Texas. Abstract C-2. Granted by Spain, 1781. Bourland and Miller Report, pp 47 and 48. Feliciana Goseascochea de Tijerina, for herself and other heirs, Doña Maria de los Angeles Garcia de Tarnava, Ramon Lafon and their heirs, Estefana Goseascochea and her heirs, Don Manuel Prieto and his heirs, Don Rafael Garcia Cabazos and his wife Doña Maria Josefa Cabazos and their heirs apply separately as specified in their petitions for the confirmation of a certain tract of land called “El Potrero” or “El Agostadero del Espiritu Santo” containing fifty-nine and a half leagues originally granted to Don Jose Salvador de la Garza by the old Spanish government in 1781. Witnesses prove the validity of the original grant, the occupation and cultivation of the lands by the original grantee and his descendants for the last sixty years, having thereon numerous herds of stock, many tenants and servants sufficient to occupy the whole extent of 59 ½ leagues; and that said original grantee’s descendants and tenants continued to occupy and hold absolute possession of said tract, never having abandoned it at any time because of Indian incursions, down to the approach of the U. S. Army in 1846; and all government dues were regularly paid by the parties interested. [Confirmed by Legislature, Act of February 10, 1852. Patented June 21, 1859; No. 968, Vol. 12. General Land Office File San Patricio 1-432.]
