My grandfather Robert Thomas CONNER purchased 161 acres in Vernon Parish in 1902 from the US General Land Office at Natchitoches, LA. He died in Hornbeck, Vernon Parish in 1925.
Robert's wife Lydia A. CHANCE was born in La. 1851 and died in Lufkin, Angelina Co. Tx. in 1881.
Their youngest sons, twins, Carol and Joshua CONNER may have been with him when he settled in Vernon Parish.
Any information re: the CONNER and CHANCE families will be appreciated.
