TEXAS 101 Ranch Bianchi Spurs for WYLIE “BILL” KUYKENDALL'S

Description:
The Kuykendall family has a long history in Texas. Robert H. Kuykendall, Sr. was one of the first three hundred settler families to receive land grants in Stephen F. Austin’s colony. He received two leagues of land in southeastern Texas along the Colorado River in 1824. Robert’s grandson Wiley was among the first Texans to drive cattle long distances, trailing herds to Missouri and Illinois in the late 1850s, over a decade before large cattle drives became common. Wylie's son, Gill, purchased an 11,000 acre ranch in Hays County that became the Kuykendall 101 Ranch. After Gill passed away at the young age of 35, his wife Maggie ran the ranch. Gill and Maggie's son Wylie "Bill" inherited a portion of the 101 Ranch from his mother. While he ultimately sold his portion in 1948, Bill continued to operate ranches in Mexico and Kyle County until his death in 1976.
