The De la Garza family descends from Marcos Alonso Garza of Lepe, Spain who immigrated to Mexico in the late 1500s. The De la Garza family settled in northern Mexico and Texas and became one of the most prominent families in that area. Two of Marcos' descendants were friends of Stephen F. Austin and were influential for the anglo- American settlement of Texas. Felipe De la Garza, like many members of his family, was an officer in the military and was commander over what later became Texas. José Refugio De la Garza (1775-1845) was related to the three most prestigious families of northern Mexico and used this influence to help Austin and the other American settlers and can be considered as heros of Texas.
