Marker Inscription
Missouri native George L. Leigh (d. 1901) moved to Kerr County in 1878 for health reasons. He opened a mercantile establishment in Center Point (3.5 mi. S) with James Sellers and later served one term as county tax assessor. In 1883 he purchased a 640-acre tract here. With the help of his brother Edward, he enlarged the site to include over three thousand acres. Here Leigh ran a dairy and raised racing horses. From 1936 to 1943 the land was used as a guest ranch. Named for the ancestral home in England, the Stoneleigh Ranch remained in the Leigh family until 1960. (1980)
