The Marqus de San Miguel de Aguayo was born Jos de Azlor y Virto de Vera, and with his marriage to Spanish heiress Ignacia Xaviera, he became a marquis with large holdings in New Spain. In 1712, he and his wife left Spain to live on their hacienda in Coahuila, Mexico. When France took Natchitoches in East Texas in 1719, Aguayo volunteered to reconquer it. It was a bloodless affair, and the French abandoned their new holding on the approach of Aguayos large force in 1721. His actions would secure Spains sovereignty over Texas; the French would never again be a threat in the region. The marquis established eight missions and four presidios, introduced the first large-scale cattle presence in the territory, and recommended that settlement begin between the San Antonio mission and East Texas, with 400 families coming from the Canary Islands, Havana, and Mexico.
AIRD, JAMES (?1819)James Aird, a prominent Scottish fur trader, spent nearly 40 years among the Dakota Sioux in what is now Iowa and Minnesota. Aird arrived in Mackinac as early as 1779, and he was one of the earliest and most respected British settlers of Prairie du Chien. By the early 1790s, he and others were extending the British fur trade south into Spanish territory, west of the Minnesota, Des Moines, and Big Sioux river headwaters. Aird encountered the Corps of Discovery on his return journey down the Missouri River and met Zebulon Pike on his expedition, all of whom left favorable reports of Airds character. Airds two brothers, Robert and George, were also prominent and well-respected traders. Together with Robert Dickson and others, Aird helped found a short-lived fur company in 1805 that attempted to stave off the growing American presence along the Missouri and Mississippi rivers. In 1807, it was absorbed by the Michilimackinac Company and later forced by international treaty to sell to John Jacob Astors American Fur Company in 1810. Airds activities furthered Great Britains expansion in the region and deepened Sioux involvement in the British fur trade, all developments that expeditions like the Corps of Discovery and Zebulon Pike were designed to counter.
