Hide Profile

Virginia Wolff and her husband Ronald purchased the Two Bar Ranch, located outside of Wheatland in Platte County, Wyoming, in 1968. The ranch had been established in 1878 and was one of the original five ranches owned by the Swan Land and Cattle Company. The ranch was originally a cattle operation, but switched over to sheep around 1904.

Wolff compiled a history of the ranch and contacted Frances Britton Morgan (1909- ), regarding her parents, Furman (d. 1937) and Lenna May Cleveland Britton (1891-1967) who took their wedding trip through southeastern Wyoming in 1906. Furman Britton's nephew, Charles Garwood, established a floral shop in Cheyenne, Wyoming, in the 1910s.
