From the early days of Texas statehood, the Blocker family name has been synonymous with the cattle industry. Abner Pickens Blocker (1822-ca. 1890) came to Texas in 1852 with his wife Cornelia Murphy Blocker from South Carolina, settling his young family in Travis County, engaging in farming and ranching. In the 1870s, his son John R. Blocker (1851-1927) entered the cattle business in Blanco County with his brother, W.B. Blocker. The brothers organized and took part in trail drives north, between 1873 and 1893, frequently joined by another brother, Abner Pickens Blocker, Jr. (1856-1943).
In 1881, John R. Blocker married Annie Lane (1862-1941), the daughter of prominent Austin physician Richard Newton Lane and Annie Swisher Lane. The couple had four children, Laura, who married George V. Maverick; William Bartlett Blocker; Susan (Sudie), who married Robert Lewis; and Richard Lane Blocker. Following the end of the trail drive era, Blocker and his sons continued their ranching activities in Texas, and in partnership with William H. Jennings and T.J. Moore, Blocker operated the Piedra Blanca Cattle Company, a large ranch in Coahuila, Mexico, during the first two decades of the 1900s. At the end of his life, Blocker's cattle business operated on a smaller scale near Big Wells, Texas, in Dimmit County.
William Bartlett Blocker (1883-1968) obtained a law degree from the University of Texas in 1906, and worked with his father in the cattle business. After attending the First Officer's Training Camp at Leon Springs, Texas, he served in Europe during World War I. Following the war, he was involved in a number of business ventures, including work with oil companies in South America. Returning to the United States, he settled in San Antonio, where he continued his activities in the oil industry, including the formation of the Petro-Tex Oil Corporation. He maintained his ties to the ranching industry, serving as president of the Old Trail Drivers Association of Texas in 1962, the same office his father, John R. Blocker held when the association was organized in 1915.
William B. Blocker was married to Lela Barker, and had three children, William B. Blocker, Jr., John R. Blocker, and Mary Ann Blocker, and one stepson, Albert McDaniel.
Correspondence, legal documents, financial documents, business-related material, printed material, maps, genealogical material, clippings, photographs, and artifacts documenting the ranching industry, oil and gas exploration, and other business and personal activities are found in the Blocker Family Papers.
The bulk of the material dates from 1893-1964. A large portion of the papers are those of William B. Blocker, though papers of John R. Blocker and Annie L. Blocker are also present, along with items representing several other family members. A significant part of the papers contains information on family ranching activities, in Texas and Mexico. Other business-related items deal with the oil and gas industry in Texas. Much of the correspondence covers family news and activities. A lesser amount of other document types deals with personal activities, including membership in various organizations, education, and genealogy.
Five series have been created: I. Correspondence; II. Legal, Financial, and Business Documents; III. Personal Material; IV. Photographs; and V. Artifacts. The Correspondence series is the most extensive, and contains incoming and outgoing letters. The Legal, Financial, and Business Documents series is fairly extensive and primarily related to business activities, though some items document personal legal and financial transactions. The Personal Material series gathers a small amount of material related to organizations, personal interests, and genealogy.
1864-1964
Document boxes 1-2
Arranged chronologically. Most of the letters are connected with William B. Blocker, and include copies of his outgoing letters to business associates, family, and friends. Particularly extensive are letters to and from his mother, Annie L. Blocker, dating from his childhood until her death, and describe his experiences at the University of Texas, life on the family ranches, his residence in South America, and various family matters. Another frequent correspondent is William B. Blocker's brother, R. Lane Blocker, who was involved in the cattle industry in Brazil during most of the time of the correspondence. Business-related correspondence includes letters related to John R. Blocker's association with the Piedra Blanca Cattle Company in the 1900s and 1910s. Letters after World War II frequently deal with oil and gas exploration in Texas and other neighboring states. William B. Blocker's letters to family members frequently discuss business matters. Correspondence also deals with the activities of the Old Trail Drivers Association of Texas, particularly during the 1950s and 1960s, when William B. Blocker was an officer of the organization, and to the First Officer's Trailing Camp Association. Letters may refer to items found in the Legal, Financial, and Business Documents series or the Personal Material series. Other significant correspondents include Sudie Blocker Lewis, Abner P. Blocker Jr., and Edward Crane.
II. Legal Financial, and Business Documents
1894-1964

Primarily business-related, the earlier material is associated cattle and ranching. A number of financial and legal documents are connected with the Piedra Blanca Cattle Company, including financial statements, promissory notes, bills and receipts, and bank records. Later items document the business activities of William B. Blocker, including several items related to oil and gas exploration, such as lease agreements, particularly from Atascosa County, Texas, maps, financial statements, drilling reports, and receipts. Some of the personal financial and legal documents of family member are included, such as bank records, insurance papers, and income tax records. Business-related information may also be found in the correspondence series.
1899-1966
Document Box 5, Oversize box 7

Most notable are items associated with the meetings of the First Officers Training Camp Association and the Old Trail Drivers Association of Texas. Genealogical and biographical information is related to various families, particularly the Blockers and Lanes. Included are notes and genealogical information, some unidentified. Individual biographies of John R. Blocker and Abner Pickens Blocker, Jr., are included. Newspaper clippings consist of articles and obituaries for several individuals, most of them family members. Other items document the oil industry, organizations, and Texas history.
1926-1963
Document box 6, oversize boxes 7-13

Blocker served as an officer of the organization. Also included are a series of photographs of longhorn cattle, several of them tinted and framed, which were offered for sale by William B. Blocker in the 1960s. Numerous photographs of Brazilian cattle are also found in the series.
