Fortunately, census records proved to be more useful in learning more about David and Allen Conner. U.S. censuses show that David Conner was still living in Jeffreys Township, Flor- I' ence County, South Carolina, as late as 1910. He appears to have died or left the county by 1920.
This conclusion is supported by David's absence from the World War I draft registration cards of Florence County. His death record could not be found in South Carolina death records 1915-1944.

David had at least two daughters, Estelle and Mildred, and an adopted son named Allen.
David owned his own farm as early as 1900. His brother Allen also owned his own land accord- ing to the 1920 and 1930 censuses. This suggests that land, tax, and probate records might reveal more about James Conner and his sons.

If James Conner (Sr.) owned land at the time of his death, then probate records might in- clude the married names of his daughters or give James' death date, which might lead to an obituary. The obituaries of Allen Conner and James Conner Jr., whose death certificates were located in this session, might give the married names of their sisters.

James Conner's daughter Nellie might have been identified in the 1900 census of Jeffreys Township, Florence County, South Carolina. Nellie Johnson, the wife of Edward Johnson, was the right age, born in the right state, and living in the right area to be the daughter of James and Nellie Conner.

Future Research

Research in the next session should seek the obituaries of Allen Conner and James Con- ner Jr. Cemetery records should be sought for Allen Conner and James Conner Jr., based on the information in their death certificates, in the hopes that other family members were buried
nearby. Local church records can also be sought in Mars Bluff and Marion, South Carolina. Hopefully, the church and cemetery records will hold much more information concerning James and Nellie Conner and their children and grandchildren.

Land and probate records of Florence County, South Carolina, can be searched for re- cords pertaining to David and Allen Conner. These records should help to determine whether David died in Florence County or moved out of the county. Ifhe moved, then land records might indicate where he lived after leaving Florence County.
