Jose del Pilar Zarate y Bayarenta was born in 1803 in el Potrero, Camargo. His parents were: Jose Gil Zarate y Bayarena and Maria del Refugio Perez. The La Alameda tract was granted by Mexico to Pilar Zarate y Bayarena on December 15, 1835. It comprised 13,132 acres (3 sitios). Gil Zarate y Bayarena also applied for a patent for this land. Witnesses testified that the land had been occupied and the patent was granted August 11, 1881. Although the La Alameda tract was granted only to one person, Pilar Zarate y Bayarena, it was apparently jointly owned by Pilar, his brother Juan Manuel and his brother-in-law Francisco Elizondo. This is based on a statement made by Pilar Zarate y Bayarena on December 22, 1835 in which he stated that all three paid equal parts for the land and each owned one sitio of the grant.** **Camargo Documents: An Inventory of Camargo Documents at the Texas State Archives, 1798-1941, bulk 1806-1810, 1830-1835.
