1. RE: the lure of S.TX [1]
>There must have been someone, or group, pulling our grandparents >from other parts of the US to the Rio Grande Valley! It is only half-jokingly I point out the area south of the King Ranch was the major destination of those wanted men with "GTT" or "Gone to Texas" on sheriff's files. It was quite a trip across the sand of what is now the King-Kennedy-Kleburg ranch. This was not necessarily the major drawing card, but it was a real one. -- Don Hockaday South Padre Island, TX mailto:hockaday@panam.edu

4. re: the lure of S.TX [1]
I think I know the lure of South Texas for my grandfather, Robert J. Allison, b. May 1878 in Jack Co. TX, who settled there in the late 1920s. His move to the "Magic" Rio Grande Valley was part of a search for the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. He had inventive hands - he invented a machine to straighten broom corn which people came for miles to use. He owned a syrup factory where he delighted in showing people that he could wind an entire gallon of molasses on a stick. He had a Land Patent on a

The large ranches in south Texas originated by Spanish land grants, and few if any have changed hands. South Texas large ranchers are very resistant to selling even small partials. I think the Garcias and Yturias are, and always have been, the largest land owners on this side of the river, and the Longor

11. Walker from Ontario [1]
Anne ~ There are still Walker's living in Brownsville; however since your George & Sarah had daughters, that probably won't help. Do you know the names of the daughters, birth info., who they married, or anything else that might help someone identify them? The Cameron County clerk's office is or was very helpful and open to researchers. If you can post names of the daughters, maybe someone will check the marriage indexes for them. I don't live close enough to do it, or I would volunteer. So glad you po
12. RE: the lure of S.TX [1]
This is the kind of information I'm looking for! There must have been someone, or group, pulling our grandparents from other parts of the US to the Rio Grande Valley! My grandfather had come, as a child, to the US from Holland. His family went to Weston, MO, just north of Kansas City. After his parents and brother died of typhoid he was left with a farmer. At about 16 my grandfather became a wanderlust. He met my grandmother, who was Ellen Donelon, in Iowa. They married about 1902 and moved to Casho
13. RE: WALKER & RAYMOND [1]
After reading emails recently I noticed that many of us are looking for information about the same time period. We seem to have had non-Hispanic family who lived in the Rio Grande Valley from about 1909-1915. Is there anyone who can tell me/us why the Anglos (Irish, Italian, etc..) folks went to the Valley during this time period? Was there a pull, or push, to draw our grandparents to this area at that time? My mother (born 1913 San Benito) said her mother's Irish relatives were in the Valley and that'

15. Cameron County history summary [1]
Some recent threads have asked various Cameron County history questions. Here is a link to a summary of Cameron County history http://www.tsha.utexas.edu/handbook/online/articles/view/CC/hcc4.html And for Brownsville http://www.tsha.utexas.edu/handbook/online/articles/view/BB/hdb4.html I expect "the lure of S.TX" in the 1910 - 1920 period was partially due to the railroad linking the valley to the rest of the USA, plus the growing farming interest.

17. Brownsville Alcantar [1]
I have an old photo (1910-1915) of a Mr. Alcantar, his wife and son. Mr. Alcantar worked with my grandfather at the American Meat Market either in San Benito or Brownsville during those years. If the Alcantar's might be your family please contact me. My grandfather was Theodore A. Berntsen. He and his cousin, Ted Oberle, had a meat market together. My two uncles were born in Brownsville in 1909 and 1911. My mother was born in San Benito in 1913. My grandfather was Dutch and my grandmother Irish. I w
18. The White Ranch [1]
Seeking information about the origin and history of the White Ranch which was located on a point about ten miles upriver from the mouth of the Rio Grande. During the Civil War a railroad was constructed from Brazos Island to the White Ranch. The ranch was also used as a steamboat terminal by M. Kenedy and Company. The ranch has been referred to as the White Ranch, White's Ranch, Rancho Blanco, and the White House. Any help will be appreciated. ________________________________________________
19. WALKER & RAYMOND [1]
First of all, I'd like to thank those who responded to my earlier post. George WALKER & Sarah (Sadie) RAYMOND were married in Ingersoll, Ontario (Canada) in 1902. This couple had two daughters Mauro and Irma, both of whom were born in Ontario prior to the family migrating to Brownsville, Texas about 1909. It is believed one of the daughters married a W. H. SMITH (probably Mauro) and that Irma married a WILSON (given names unknown for either spouse). Little additional information is known about this fa
