They were residents who made the move without financial assistance from the government and at the time had five children, all arms, twenty horses, and one mule. Rancher Original Grantee of Porcion 79 Camargo
When the King of Spain granted land to the settlers and residents of Camargo in 1767, Cisneros obtained Porción # 79 on the north side of the Rio Grande. He soon sold that porción and bought new lands closer to the gulf coast. Cisneros was one of the 13 original founders of the Matamoros area.
In don Ernesto Garza Sáenz’ book, “Segundas Cronicas de Camargo” reference is made that the royal lands that bordered the Rio Grande to the north, the San Fernando River to the south, the coast of the Gulf of Mexico to the east and lands belonging to the settlers of Reynosa and the province of Nuevo León to the west, all in the jurisdiction of Reynosa, were bought by one man, don Andrés Vicente de Urizar. Urizar, a business man and hacendado from Mexico City, who bought and sold livestock bought more than one million hectares or a little more than two and one half million acres in the stated area.
On 1/28/1785, the city government of Cd. Camargo bought 113 sitios or leagues of land from Urizar and the governor of Nuevo Santander, don Diego de Lazaga, commissioned don Ignacio Anastacio de Ayala to distribute the new lands.

The land most proximate to the coast and bordering the Rio Grande was acquired by don Juan Joseph Cisneros, although when the lands were legally sold he had passed on and his widow doña María Antonia was the heir to six leagues of land or about 26,568 acres. As stated in his will dated May 16, 1783 the ranch was called Nuestra Señora del Carmen de la Caja Pinta. (No, any Cisneros descendents out there, you can’t go claim beachfront property in Mexico)

In his will don Juan Joseph states that his parents were Bartolomé Cisneros and María Mariana Marcela Villegas, originally from the Valle de Salinas, Nuevo León. He was married to María Antonia Guajardo daughter of Tomás Guajardo and María Ignacia Villarreal and they had seven children; Francisco Tomás, María Josefa, María Nicolasa, Juan Nepomuceno, José Antonio, María Antonia, and María Ignacia Cisneros Guajardo.
Notes for Juan Sisneros:
Juan Sisneros spelled his name with an "s". Later in the 19th century the "s" was changed to a "c". Sisneros was a primitive settler of Camargo. He was the owner of Porcione 79. Most of the city of Rio Grande City, Texas is located in his land. Title was obtained from the Crown of Spain in 1767. A copy of the entry in Spanish from the Visita General (pp. 61, 147-148) can be provided for a fee of $1.75 BW or $6.00 color. Cisneros' tract is located in present Starr County and contains 6,115.81 acres. The Francis William Seabury Papers (box 2G 165) include an abstract of title for Porcion 79. The Seabury Papers are at the Center for American History, Sid Richardson Hall 2.101, The University of Texas at Austin, Texas 78713 (phone 512-495-4532).
