My name is Jennifer Stewardson and my family heritage includes both farming and ranching as well as the oil industry. My maternal great, great, grandparents grandparents were presented the Texas Department of Agriculture's 100 Year Family Land Heritage Cartificate of Honor for their Rafter F Ranch which was established in 1880. My paternal grandparents worked in the oil fields of West Texas while my paternal great, grandparents worked for oil refineries on the Texas Gulf Coast.

I was born in San Angelo, but moved with my family to Mills County when I was five years old. My family lived in the country so I grew up with a farm and ranch lifestyle.
