    Liddie Smiley Sneed, born in 1870, recounted to Virgie Speights in an interview for Speight's August 6, 1964 "Old Timers of Sabine County, Texas" column, that she was born near Hemphill, the daughter of Ben and Elizabeth Smith Smiley. She doesn't know where her father's folks came from to Texas, but her mother came as a slave of Simeon Beckcom from old Virginia when Texas was a pioneer territory. (Speights, Old Timers of Sabine County, p. 12). Could Simon be a son of Simeon Beckcom?

There were few really wealthy people in the parish, and many owned not more than one of two slaves. the owners of six or more in 1861 included S. L. and Allen Arthur.
