    1. [TXSABINE-L] Low-Conner Feud/Which Lows & Smiths?
    2. Melinda M. Strong
    3. A couple of questions. I was looking at the "1880 Census Transcription" by Toole and Speights. Is the Eli Low that was killed the 19 year old Ely Low, married to 17 year old Sarah, that was leaving between Isaac and Amanda (Hines) Low and Charles and Julia Conner? Isaac Low #128-135; Ely Low #129-136 and Charles Conner #130-137? Who are Ely's parents? And is Kit Smith the same person as the 22 year old Christopher Smith, husband of Mary (age 18) living in household #200-209 in 1880? If so, this is the same household that my great-granduncle, Alkony Delony Fuller, was living in. He was only 19 himself, and was listed as a laborer.

    3. Hi Melinda, I am a direct descendant of Willis CONNER of the CONNER Feud. I do not think I can help you with the age of Eli LOW who was killed in the Feud, but I do know that Kit SMITH, who died along with Eli, was William Christopher "Kit" SMITH, born ca 1858, son of Irving or Erven and Luthenia (GARLINGTON) SMITH. Kit SMITH married Mary Jane "Alma" SCRUGGS. I would guess that Eli LOW was about the same age as Kit. I would also guess that "Alma" SCRUGGS SMITH was related to my great grandmother, Julia Ann (SCRUGGS) CONNER who married Charles Wilson CONNER, son of Willis CONNER. However, I do not have Alma's parents at this time, but it is possible she could have been the sister to my great grandmother, Julia Ann SCRUGGS who was born in 1859. References: 1.

Some of the Sabine County FULLERs show up in my database. I have a Lou Ann FULLER, born ca 1836 Kentucky, dau. of Powell and Sarah R. FULLER. Lou Ann FULLER married Manuel Walton LOVING, born Feb 21 183, Georgia, died Aug 18 1889, Texas. My notes for Manuel says that this may be the 30-year old Emanuel (Manuel?) LOVING who was married to Leona (Louisa?)_________ and who had three children; Robert (age 6), George (age 4), and Benjamin (age 7 months) in the 1860 census for Sabine County, Texas. However, I do not see an Alkony Delony FULLER in my records. Ronald R. McClendon Albuqueruqe, NM "Melinda M. Strong" wrote: > A couple of questions.
