It all began with one man, and his land. Founder Alfred Harrington settled land in 1850 in what is now Hebron, Texas. At this time, it was all prairie grass with few trees as far as the eye could see. His decision in picking these many acres was solely on one thing, the only spring on all of this land, which never once had gone dry. Even through the rough times of the Dust Bowls, this sparkling spring provided water for the land. Alfred traded six sheep and a saddle horse without the saddle for this property, approximately 2,140 acres, took a wife Martha, and thus “Ye Old Homestead Farms” was born. As time went on, the 1,200 acres of original homestead was passed down to Minnie Mae Harrington Griffin and was a portion of the 2,140 acres previously purchased by Alfred Harrington. Minnie Mae and her husband, Morris T. Griffin, moved to Ye Old Homestead Farms in 1882. In tradition, the land was passed down to Morris and Minnie’s youngest daughter of nine children, Gladys. She then married George Irvin Crider in 1924. From early marriage, Gladys and her husband raised livestock, owned and farmed vast amounts of land and continued to live on the land of their ancestors.
