About
My blog was started to provide interesting and informative history, genealogy and photography about our history and ancestors. Surnames WILKINSON, POWELL, AULD, BROWN, LOWRANCE, BRADFORD, HARRYMAN, STULTING, TURNER, MILROY and Texas counties; Menard, Kerr, Real, Concho and others. I may also include anything else I see along the way!
Among our family histories; I am the great-great granddaughter of Joshua D. Brown, the first settler and founder of Kerrville, Kerr County, Texas in 1856. My husband’s great-grandfather was William Jackson Montgomery Wilkinson, originally from Mississippi and pioneer to Menard County, Texas in late 1860’s; just to name two of our families.

Thank you Silva, see if you can click this link to the Hannah’s story; https://blog.wilkinsonranch.com/2014/03/02/miss-hannah-crafted-learning/
I’m also going to send to your email, in case you don’t see this reply. Jan
I tried to look up the story on Hannah Crafted but obviously I did something wrong. I really liked the story you posted. For a Menard girl I know almost nothing about the silver diggers and lookers.
If you could send me the correct way to get to that story I would really appreciate it. Thanks for all you do.
I gave you the wrong address for my soon to be blog…it will be: atreegrowsintexas.com
I misssssssssssssssss you! I am in the process of starting my own blog and could probably use some advice! I am thinking of doing a blog like yours and then sharing to Truth Social… it all depends on if I can get the blog started… lots to figure out! You are my mentor…! We are starting out trying to use wordpress… I don’t know how in the world you created this wonderful page… I am going to show it to my son in the hopes he can help me. I think my page is going to be Gonetotexas.com … not positive, will let you be the first to see it!
I am the granddaughter of Florence Fenley (1898-1971) and have strong family ties to the Menard, Kerrville and Sabinal Canyon Area through the Wilson, Davenport and Fenley lines. I would appreciate any photographic assistance possible.
Thank you so much,

I just found your blog and was delighted. I am the grandson of Grace Lowrance, and am always looking to add to my knowledge of early Kerr county area. My wife has done some research on the Lowrance family and we would be happy to share if you have any questions.
Please keep up the good work.
