    1. [TXSABINE-L] Isaac Low Cemetary
    2. PLSTYX
    3. Hello, I am typing this in its entirety from a book written by Robert Cecil McDaniel: Marker Inscription: A vetran of the war of 1812, Isaac Low (1781-1853) migrated to this area from Tennessee in 1828. During the Texas Revolution he operated a nearby ferry across the Sabine River to aid settlers fleeing from the advancing Mexican Army, He later served as a commissioner for Sabine County. His son Jesse Low (1812-1848), whose grave is the earliest marked at this site, donated the land for use as a cemetary. Also buried there are Reddick Pitt Sibley, a captain during the civil war, and Eli Low, whose 1883 murder resulted in a three year feud in the surrounding area. Isaac Low is my husbands ggg-grandfather, is Eli Low, Isaac's son??? why was he murdered, who murdered him, and what was the feud about??? If anyone has the answers to this question please let me know. I am told by the elders in our family that they are kin to all the Low's and probably Lowe's also, in Sabine County, Tx. Also Reddick Pitt Sibley was my husband's gg-grandfather, there is a book out, called The Sibleys in America that is 1700+ pages and is in two volumes, I purchased the book last week and it is very interesting, starts in England in 1597 and goes forward. If anyone wants more information on this book e-mail me and I will send you the information to contact James Scarborough Sibley. I want to thank all the people who have helped me with my search for my roots in East Tx. there is a lot of history there and I would like to have as much as I can research and read about. I also have information on the family and am willing to share what I have. Linda Surratt-White plstyx@aol.com
