The Briggs were a pioneer Ward County, Texas, family. In 1890, George
Sr. and Mattie (husband and wife) moved to Barstow, Texas, from Midland after
several successful ventures in California and Colorado. George helped organize
Ward County in 1892 and promoted its agricultural prospects. The Briggs'
interests have also included mining and oil. The family home is Barstow's
oldest building.
