Great Great Granddaughters Still Ranching After 140 Years
The Hindes lineage in South Texas traces to 1855 as William Moses Hindes settled near the Frio River. His descendants Judy Burnside and Lorraine Paul, married to Floyde Burnside and David Paul, remain linked to Catchpenny Farm in Wilson County. They and their cousins uphold a long ranching tradition with ties to John Wesley Devilbiss and pioneer deeds by Moses Hindes and son George F Hindes, celebrated in local monuments and family stories.
