Sixth generation, but not a rancher. We're from "No Man's Land" that little strip between the Neches and Sabine. Eminent Domain took all our land, which is now Lake Sam Rayburn.
Isn't that where all the outlaws and scoundrels hid out?

"Come, shall we go and kill us venison? And yet it irks me the poor dappled fools, Being native burghers of this desert city, Should in their own confines with forked heads Have their round haunches gored."

That's what the foreigners said.
The only thing worse than a liberal is a liberal that thinks they're a conservative.
I'm not a "Texan" but my father's side of the family were. They had a ranch outside of Menard. When grandpa died they split the ranch among five kids. Four of them (including my dad) sold out to my uncle who became filthy rich raising Pecans. I have relatives in Brady, Eden, Menard, and San Angelo. I used to love it when we visited because my cousins were all girls who spoiled the hell out of me.
I was born in Dallas in '61. We moved to Roswell N.M. for a few years then we bought a dairy in Winnsboro N.E. Texas in '74. I've lived in Texas since then.
But my Dad's side of the family are from N.E. Louisiana they've been there since at least the 1830s.
My mothers family on both sides came to Texas from Tennessee and Alabama after the civil war.
