Howard County History - http://www.tsha.utexas.edu/handbook/online/articles/HH/hch20.html
From an early period Big Spring, on Sulphur Draw, had been a favored watering place for Skidi Pawnees and Quahadi Comanches, who fought for its possession and for the herds of buffaloqv and antelope that wintered there. The spring, now dry, long provided the only reliable source of water within 100 miles. The first Europeans to traverse the future county were probably a Spanish expedition of 1768. Capt. Randolph B. Marcyqv of the United States Army described the area in 1849, but it remained unsettled until after the Civil War. The first known settler to have come to the region was William Travis Roberts, who moved from Georgetown, Texas, in 1870 and settled at Moss Spring, twelve miles southeast of Big Spring. When the spring site was bought by Will Wardell and Frank Biler, Roberts moved his headquarters a mile and a half up the draw, dug the first well in the county, and built a dugoutqv to live in. Until the coming of the Texas and Pacific in 1881, Brownwood was the supply point for settlers and mail was brought from Fort Concho. Other early cattlemen included F. G. Oxsheer, C. C. Slaughter,qqv and B. F. Wolcott. The Wolcott Ranch is said to have installed the first of many windmillsqv in the county. Other early settlers were L. F. McKay, who installed the pumping equipment for the railroad and remained to become a citizen of the county, and the Earl of Aylesford, who bought 37,000 acres of land in the county in 1883 and built the first permanent structure in Big Spring. Dave Rhoton is credited with starting the local sheep business in 1887 by building a wool-storage structure at his headquarters in Iatan, Mitchell County.

Howard County was formed from Bexar County on August 21, 1876, and named for Volney Erskine Howard,qv a United States congressman from Texas in the 1840s and 1850s. It was attached to Mitchell County in 1881 for legal administration, then organized in 1882. Big Spring was designated as county seat. For a time Howard County was responsible for the legal administration of Lynn, Terry, Yoakum, Dawson, Cochran, Gaines, Andrews, Borden, and Martin counties.

* JFM Investigate Saunders and Jaeger further.

Bill (William R Jung Sr, Universal City - my father-in-law) said that she married a Mr. Jaeger. He had purchased 10 plots at San Fernando III (Roselawn Memorial) Cemetery in San Antonio where most of Bill's ancestors and his sisters are buried.

"Loretta J. Saunders King Jaeger is what I have noted on the cemetery plots."

Notes:

Married:
1930 Census, Roy R King in Bexar Co indicates he was 21 years old at his first marriage. That would put this marriage date at 1903-1905 if he was born around 1883 as the census records denote.
