Biographical History
Gilbert A. Searight came from the area of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, to Burnet County, Texas, about 1859 and acquired through the courts land left by an uncle, Peter Kerr, to the county for the building of a school. Searight operated a ranch there before and after the Civil War. In 1876 he began his first cattle business, Searight and Orr, with Hugh N. Orr, in Laramie County, Wyoming Territory. In 1883 Searight Cattle Company was formed in the same place. With W. S. Carothers, a cousin, and other family members, he formed Dolores Land and Cattle Company with land holdings in Dimmit, Zavala, and Kinney counties of Texas.
