Recently discovered I own Mineral Rights in Upton TX

Apparently, my Great Grandfather purchased some mineral rights from the CCSD&RGNG RR CO in what appears to be the 1920’s. I recently received an unsolicited offer to sell them. (I did not even know I owned them). In speaking with other family members, there were several purchases over several years but the paperwork was destroyed since these were deemed “worthless” by other family members. The ownership would have gone from my great grandfather, to grandfather, to father and now to me.

I have the block, section and survey for at least one of these purchases.

Any thoughts or direction on how to determine what I have and potentially getting copies of the original paperwork?

Thanks.
