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?
Simon married Sarah Elizabeth Arthur about 1880. Sarah (daughter of Solomon L. Arthur and Evaline Curtis) was born in Apr 1857 in Sabine Parish, Louisiana; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
