Note: These are notes on those who immigrated to the west of the Mississippi from the American side. These people found it difficult to settle in Spanish territory as they were not allowed to have protestant services, for the most part, & they had to swear allegiance to the Spanish king. After the Louisiana Purchase in 1803, settlement was opened up. However, many who thought they had their land secured, were deprived of it during the many governmental changes and also due to land speculators and crooks.
