My great grand daddy was the 3rd sheriff in Edwards County , Rocks Springs Texas from about 1888 to 1903. His record as sheriff was but a little footnote in history. Something about one of the last comanchie raids and tracking down a horse thief. Went out there from Guidings, to raise cattle and found out angora goats did better in that dusty dry area. The family moved into Texas in the early 1840's when we were still a republic to Lampasas. His grand daddy was a justic of the peace at Guidings during the war of northern agression. Anyway, he had 11 children from two wives and was known as Daddy Miles, When the grand children came around, they refered to him as Pappy Miles. There was a bad drout followed by a devestating tornado that tore up the town and caused the deaths of a lot of folks there in 07. He lost the 02 election, and sold the ranch after the tornado and moved to Oklahoma with other relatives. He passed in Sept 1933 @ 82. When I came along 20 years loater,my folks had moved back to Pasadena Texas in 1948 after WWII. My Dad said i looked a lot like him. We've been teachers, preachers, lawman, and cattlemen. I did something different. As I was getting into cowboy about 10 years ago, my kids mentioned the similarties I had in looks also, so the recommended calling me Pappy Miles. I figured what the heack.......
