Piercy Douglas

Notes:

Query from Tem Moody

Piercy Douglass, born 24 Apr 1824 in GA. Married (1) Willis Jackson Conner 1 Aug 1844 (2) M. J. Coleman. Willis J. Conner died 1887 in Sabine Co. TX and is buried in Conner Cemetery, Sabine Co. TX. Piercy died 22 Oct 1898 in Sabine County TX and may be buried in the Conner Cemetery or in the Douglas Cemetery in Union County FL. Attempting to verify date of death and burial place of Piercy nee Douglass.

Reply from Linda King Davenport

The Index to the Cemeteries of Sabine County Texas 1836 - 1964 copyrighted by J. B. Sanders 1964 states the burial place as Conner Cemetery with 5 unmarked graves. To quote: "Conner, Percy 15 Mar 1824 - 22 Oct 1898" I don't know if "Percy" was misspelled in Mr. Sanders' book or on the tombstone. This is not my line and I have not researched this at all. Happy hunting!

Ron McClendon noted that he is not sure of the second marriage.

She was the daughter of Frederick Douglas.

FindAGrave shows that "Piercey was the daughter of Frederick Douglas and wife, Bethamy Hannah Anderson Douglas. She was born with twin sister, Tiercey Douglas. Married Willis William Jackson Conner on 1 Aug 1844 in Tattnall County, Georgia."

Piercy married Willis Conner on 1 Aug 1844 in Tattnall County, Georgia. Willis was born on 15 Mar 1822 in Tattnall County, Georgia; died on 13 Nov 1887 in Sabine County, Texas; was buried in Conner Cemetery, Sabine County, Texas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Fed, along with his father Willis, and brothers William, John and Charles were indicted for the murders of Eli Low and Kit Smith after a short trial and based on a longstanding feud over free-ranging. Charles and Fed's trial was held first and they were found guilty. Charles was sent to prison for twenty-five years. Fed was given life in prison, but successfully appealed his case and was retried. He was again found guilty. He would never serve, however, as the jail was broken into and Willis, Fed, William and John escaped into the countryside- where they began a running war with the law enforcement of the day.
The Texas Rangers were called in to assist in arresting the Conners, but were ambushed and one Ranger, J.H. (Jim) Moore was killed. William Conner was also killed and many others were wounded. Willis, Fed and John escaped the battle. The Rangers, having suffered a grievous defeat, left Sabine County and did not return.
The people of the county, wanting to end the violence, began to pressure local officers to arrest the Conners. Eventually, a private investigator was hired and disguised as a cattle buyer went through the county looking for clues to the Conner's whereabouts. He learned that Willis and Fed's families left food and supplies for them on a trail somewhere deep in the woods. An ambush was set up and Fed Conner was killed. Willis escaped, but was killed a few weeks later, when his young grandson, a boy of twelve, was coming to give him food. The boy had been tracked and followed by a posse and in the ensuing gunfight, Willis and the boy were killed.
This sad situation finally ended the Low-Conner Feud which had divided the county for so long. For years, no one wanted to discuss what had occurred as it was simply too divisive and the families too intermingled to be considered a worthy subject of conversation.

Frederick married Nancy Pauline Travis after 1870. Nancy (daughter of James Cannon Travis and Sophronia Pauline White) was born on 2 Sep 1852 in Texas; died on 26 Sep 1927; was buried in Spring Hill Cemetery, Hemphill, Sabine County, Texas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

After the murder of Eli Low and Kit Smith, Charles Conner was found guilty, along with his father and brothers. He was sent to prison for 25 years. He was later pardoned by Governor Ross and released.

The letter from Judge Perkins stated, "Being convinced that it is the universal wish of the people of Sabine County that Charley CONNER should be pardoned and that serious doubt of his guilt of participation in the murder for which he was convicted--most all of the people of Sabine Co. and especially those in a position to be best informed of the truth of this matter, as seen in the light of developments since the trial, I do now recommend that said CONNER be pardoned."

With lots of love and determination they raised their children and owned a successful business.

When she wasn't teaching she could be found at many functions involving her children or grandchildren. Her pride in her family was always apparent in anything she did. She was always known for her smile and her ear piercing whistle. That whistle would have children standing at attention from 1/2 mile away. She used it at school and at home. If you didn't listen when she whistled you would be in trouble.

After teaching for over 30 years, Leta retired in 1996. She spent most of her teaching career in 1st grade. She loved all her little students. She probably taught 80% of the children in Hemphill.
She was a loving wife, mother, grandmother and friend. Her family was her world and pride to most people she was Leta Joyce or Mrs. Corley. To her family she was momma or nanny, but to Lee she was "Yes Dear". She would give advice or just hold our hands. She is the glue that holds our family together. She loved to pick and joke with her boys. She always said that if her boys weren't picking at her she knew something was wrong.

There will be a visitation of friends and family Tuesday from 5 until 8 pm at Starr Funeral Home and her funeral service will be at 10:00 am Wednesday at Starr Funeral Home Chapel in Hemphill with burial to follow in Hemphill Cemetery.

She is survived by; her husband of 65 years Lee Herbert Corley of Hemphill; sons, Edward Corley and wife Susan of Hemphill, James Corley and wife Stephanie of Hemphill, David Corley and wife Patricia of Nacogdoches; grandchildren, Cara Westbrook and husband Andrew of Hemphill, Eric Corley of Hemphill, and Ashley Roberts and husband Christopher of Alabama; great grandson, Alexander Freeman of Hemphill; sister, Vernell Thomas of Palestine; nieces, Lauren Karch and husband Robert of Palestine, Anice Carter and husband Terry of Van, and Alice Smith of Lufkin. She is preceded in death by; her parents Lorena Louisa Edgar Conner and Starling Wesley Conner; grandson Brandon Corley; and sisters Rosalee Smith and Clarice Clark; and niece Louisa Ryan.
