Juan Antonio Bustillo y Ceballos (Zevallos) was a soldier and politician who served as governor of Province of Texas (1730–1734) and Coahuila, New Spain (1754–1756).
[1] He arrived to Los Adaes, Texas' capital, on April 28, 1731, carrying several hundred of heads of livestock and many supplies.
The troop was made up of two hundreds and twenty men, mostly Spaniards but also sixty Native Americans, and managed to defeat the Apaches.
[1] Later, in 1734, Bustillo decided to leave his position as governor, being replaced by Manuel de Sandoval, and he took the road back to Mexico.
At this time, the Audience approved the establishment of several missions in San Javier, even though Bustillo did not support their foundations (as he explained in 1746).
