How it came to pass, I have now for
gotten, but in his youth, Carvajal went
to the United States and became
known to the distinguished divine, the
late Rev. Alexander Campbell, of Vir-
ginia, who conceived great fondness
for and educated him. Carvaiai be-
came convert to Mr.. Campbell's reli-
gious views, and, 1t Is believed, never
abandoned them.
When, in 1924, Don Martin De
Leon, planted his colony on the Gaud'
alupe, Carvajal married one of his
daughters, was appointed the first SUR
veyor of the country, and till the revo-
luton of 1885 was 0 conspicuous man
in Texas affairs. With the DE Icons
he retired to the Rio Grande in 1896.
