Alexander Kennedy 'Alec" Auld was born the son of his namesake father, Alexander Auld and Jeane Mcvey KENNEDY Auld in Glasgow, Scotland. His father and mother were married in Campsie, Stirlingshire, Scotland on 17 Jan 1846. Alec's parents were working-class small business owners in textiles, both being pattern designers for the Calico printing industry.
The Auld's lived and worked just across the River Clyde from Glasgow in Govan, Scotland; a community with a long and ancient history of habitation and settlement.

1. John Auld b.1848
2. Jane Mckinven AULD Clark b.1849
3. Grace Janet AULD b.1855
4. William Kennedy Auld b.1857
5. Helen Kennedy AULD b.1859
6. Margaret Helen AULD b.1864
Of age, Alec made his way to the eastern coast of Scotland where he was educated at the University of Edinburgh. Soon after, he would say goodbye to his family and homeland to sail for America aboard the "Spain" arriving in New York City on 26 Aug 1878, and from there another steamship down to Galveston, TX. Traveling inland from the Gulf of Mexico he eventually settled in the Texas Hill Country Region where he met and soon married a widowed mother, Susannah LOWRANCE Gibbens Auld on 14 Sep 1881.
Beginning in late in 1881, Alec Auld began to patent numerous tracts of land in the Texas Hill Country eventually eventually amounting to 3,000+ acres by 1890, and in total became the original working stock property known to Hill Country historians as the "Auld Ranch". The young couple would raise their family here with the hard business of stock ranching ever present in their days. A very successful stockman and businessman his children would continue to expand their family land holdings in Texas through the early 1900's.
