Sarah, you are correct. I kow that normally I try to be of help to any and
all. However, I have been exceptionally busy with syllabus materials for
the Angelina College Genealogy Conference --
http://www.angelina.edu/genealogy.htm -- and apparently did delete it.
Why not publish the original request again ... perhaps some of us will
have time to take a look at it and help - Good for you, Bob, not to have
passed the request by!

> Bob, you are the very FIRST Texan on any of these lists, to step forward
with a real live interest and help me spread the word. I finally feel like I
have another friend in Texas. I'm quite sure people see my name and by now
just hit the delete key. Thank you.

> MCLANE, HIRAM H. (1820-1907). Hiram H. McLane, horse breeder, was born
on

who

> After the Civil Warqv he moved to San Antonio, where he married Emma E.
> Hurd of New York. They had one child, who died in infancy. About this
time
> McLane bought the 1,400-acre ranch that is now the site of Alamo
Heights,
> Texas, from Charles Anderson,qv who had raised sorrel stallions to sell
to

in

collection

Alamo

as

> McLane's interest in Texas history led him in 1886 to write (from his

Alamo

were
