Notes:

Was shown on the muster roll of Captain J.M. Burroughs Company of the Sabine County Volunteer Infantry, CSA, and was enlisted at Hemphill, Texas by Drury Field for 3 months duty on January 15, 1863.

Augustus married Margaret Ann Low on 25 Oct 1860 in Sabine County, Texas. Margaret (daughter of Isaac Low and Elizabeth Parsons) was born on 6 Nov 1829 in Republic Of Texas; died on 20 Nov 1891 in Sabine County, Texas; was buried in Hemphill City Cemetery, Hemphill, Sabine County, Texas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Margaret was the youngest child of Isaac and Elizabeth Low, and she remained unmarried until after her mother died. Presumably she remained at home to care for her. Elizabeth died in July, 1860, when she was 73 years old. Margaret married a few months after this, at the age of 30.

Notes:

"The Gomer family came to Sabine County, Texas from Giles County, Tennessee between March 2, 1836 and August 19, 1836. He rec'd a Second Class land grant of 1280 A. located and surveyed in what is now Parker County. Evidently he never moved from Sabine County as records show that he bought land in 1844, located in the John Haley Survey, south of Housens Bayou near the Yellowpine community. James Frederick Gomer was typical of the average settler of his time, industrious, honest and determined to have a home in the new country. He raised his family by old fashioned standards, to obey their parents, honor God and country, and respect themselves and their neighbors. He owned a few slaves, according to the records, and a large slave cemetery is located near the Old Gomer Cemetery." (White and Toole)

James married Anna M. B. ??? about 1822 in Tennessee. Anna was born about 1803 in Georgia; died after 1870 in Sabine County, Texas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Often shown as Bateman, but not proven. Helen Gomer Schluter was said to have spent many years trying to discover her maiden name.

In a DAUGHTERS OF THE REPUBLIC OF TEXAS PATRIOT ANNUAL ALBUM, by Turner Publishing Company (online at Google Books), it was noted that Anna was a well known midwife, nurse and "doctor" of the Housen Bayou area of Sabine County.

Notes:

Isaac came from Tennessee around 1828. He owned and operated Low's Ferry at the mouth of Low's Creek and the Sabine River during the days of the Republic. He was said to be the son of Aquilla Low.

The information on this family group sheet was obtained from Debra Booth, 1418 High Meadow Circle, Garland, Texas 75040

There was also an article about the Low Family in STIRPES, a publication of the Texas State Genealogical Association, in their December 1996 issue.

Isaac married Elizabeth Parsons on 25 Sep 1804 in Anderson County, Tennessee. Elizabeth was born on 25 Feb 1787 in Virginia; died on 4 Jul 1860 in Sabine County, Texas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:
