Eli Low

[Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Could Middle name be Malinda vs. Matilda?

Nancy married Capt. Reddick Pitt Sibley, C. S. A. after 1850. Reddick (son of Robert Flint Sibley, Sr. and Avarilla Albritton) was born on 7 Apr 1831 in Louisiana; died about 1883 in Sabine County, Texas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Casagranda lists him as one of the four children of Elijah and Drucilla Cook Low, however as he is not listed in Schluter and Toole's transcription of the Sabine County, Texas household of his mother Drucilla Low in 1850, when he would have been just 13. However, he is listed in 1860, at age 23. Perhaps he is shown in 1850 on the actual microfilm, but was inadvertantly left out of the transcription. Need to follow up.

In 1870, Elbert Hines, an orphan age 14, and Amanda Hines, an orphan age 10, are living with Isaac and Amanda Low.

Isaac married Nancy Amanda Hines on 2 Nov 1865 in Sabine County, Texas. Nancy (daughter of Elbert Hines and Mahana Melton) was born on 28 Jan 1841; died on 22 Mar 1888; was buried in McCord-Low Cemetery, Hemphill, Sabine County, Texas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Jackson Green Low is missing from the 1870 Sabine County census. It appears that his wife Alma Scruggs had died, and that his children were living with their grandfather Elmore Harper. When did Alma die, and where was Jackson? On the 1880 Census, Jackson Low was married to Susan Huddleston.
