Note:Pleasant Wimberley, miller, son of Zachariah and Quinnie (Vaughn) Wimberley, was born in Wake County, North Carolina, on May 2, 1823. During the Civil War Wimberley served in 1861 as a corporal in the Blanco County Thirty-first Brigade, Texas Militia, and in 1864 as a second lieutenant in the Blanco and Gillespie County Third Frontier District under Brig. Gen. John D. McAdoo. After the war Wimberley moved his family out of range of the Indian depredations in Blanco County and purchased a mill on Cypress Creek in Hays County from John and Nancy Winters Cude, heirs of William Carvin Winters, who built the mill in 1850. The Wimberley Mill was a gristmill, sawmill, shingle mill, molasses mill, and cotton gin.
