Pretty sure he was one of the initial proponents behind the push to replace the statue of Sully with one for Gaines.

I still have never had anyone tell me what Gaines did for A&M.

And no, being one of 20 senators who voted for A&M is not worthy of a statue.

Benavidez, actually. Like Kellen Mond's great grandpa.

Told y'all over last summer that he was my cousin.

this is true...came here in the 1520's...and settled in Tamaulipas, Tejas and Nuevo Leon.

We were able to trace my both my parents to a Spanish General who was rather popular with the ladies in 1537

CanyonAg77 was "popular with the ladies in 1537", maybe he knew your eleventy-grand abuelo.
