Thank you
I am specifically looking for any information on his life in Uvalde as I know he built the first hotel but when, where and what was it called and is it still standing today? Any photographs of him or local news items. What possessed him to change professions and get into sheep farming (I know it is an important aspect of that area)and how did he get the nickname of The Sheep Dip Man? Where was his farm? Any records available.
I already have his beginnings in England covered and have his twin brother and 3 sisterswell documented but family history isn't just about dates and certificates and I try to get behind the person and what made them tick. I also research where they lived for local history so I can place them in context both socially, economically and nationally in the family time line
