J. T. Rabb – Texas Ranger captain who rented Mimbres place to Cureton Brothers
Rabb was a native of Texas [1][2]. In early days he commanded a company of rangers [1][2]. At one time his cattle ranged over a thousand hills and he counted his land by leagues [1][2]. In 1891, he rented his beautiful place on the Mimbres to the Cureton Brothers [1][2]. He then planned to leave with his family for Seattle, hoping the moist climate would benefit his health [1][2]. At the time he was about sixty years old [1][2].
