Generation: 1

Elmore Harper was born about 1868 (son of Elmore Harper and Mary Ann Parker); and died.

Notes:

In 1870, he was living in the household of Elmore (Sr.) amd Mary Ann Harper, who presumably were his parents. In 1880, he is shown as a 13 year old boy living in the household of Jackson and Susan Low, and is listed as "brother." He does not appear to be a brother to Jackson Low or Susan Huddleston Low, however. Presumably he is a brother-in-law to Jackson through Jackson's first marriage to Alma Winnefred Harper.

Nancy (daughter of Willis Conner and Piercy Douglas) was born on 8 Oct 1870 in Sabine County, Texas; died on 8 Sep 1938 in Hemphill, Sabine County, Texas; was buried in Spring Hill Cemetery, Hemphill, Sabine County, Texas.
