Ángel Navarro (1748–1808) was a leading early Spanish settler and patriarch of San Antonio, Texas.
The Navarro family played a prominent role in the Mexican and Texas revolutions.
Navarro was the seventy-second alcalde (mayor) of San Antonio under Spanish Texas.
This couple's eldest daughter, Maria Ursula de Veramendi, was the wife of Texas revolutionary Jim Bowie.
[3] One of Navarro's slaves was Maria Gertrudis de la Peña, an Indigenous woman who sued for her freedom in 1785 in San Fernando de Béxar (San Antonio) on the basis that she could not be enslaved because Indigenous peoples were granted some of the same rights as Spanish people in New Spain where slavery was also illegal.
