Here are some tasks you can do:

[edit] What about his position as father of Stephen Austin?

I did not see anything about Moses being given the grant by Mexico to set up the colony of Texas. While he did die before succeeding (or even starting), his son took over the grant to successfully establish that colony and bring many U.S. settlers into the region, eventually leading to the Texan revolution and the annexing of Texas by the United States during John Tyler's term in Presidency.

I feel this is an important fact of Moses Austin that was left out, but I am not a good enough writer to add it. ~Ricky28269
