Inks Ranch History

​

Matthew “Mark” Moss, a Virginian, came to Texas in 1818. In 1836, he fought in the Texas Revolution at the Battle of San Jacinto under General Sam Houston. He received a land grant of approximately 4,600 acres which included Bull Head Mountain in southwestern Llano County.

​

Aaron Moss, the youngest son, and brother Charles Moss purchased an additional 30,000 acres in 1882, which included Enchanted Rock which the Moss’ descendants owned until 1978.

​

A March 14, 1954 story in the San Angelo Standard-Times relates that time the ranch had more than 150 animals including India Black Antelope, Aoudad Sheep, American bighorn sheep, Mouflon, Barbados Sheep and numerous White Tail Deer.
