Original grantee
McKinney, Williams and Company was the great mercantile house of early Texas, founded by Thomas F. McKinney and Samuel May Williams. The firm moved cotton, supplies, credit, and steamship traffic through the Brazos and Galveston trade, and it advanced vessels, notes, and supplies to the Texas revolutionary government. Its land story grew from that finance: the Republic of Texas and later state authorities recognized debts and claims with land scrip and real-estate security. A survey under this name points to the commercial machinery behind Texas independence, where public debt, merchant credit, and land certificates were tightly linked.
