counties in 1888. David Conner was found enumerated in two later censuses
of Jeffreys Town- ship, Florence County, South Carolina.
U.S. censuses have been taken every ten years beginning in 1790. Unfortunately,
the 1890 census was almost completely destroyed. Therefore, the next available
census in which David Conner would be enumerated was the one taken in
1900. David was still living in Jeffreys Township in 1900 and was enumerated
in this census as follows:

Note that David's brother Allen was living with him and that both of their
ages were off slightly from the information given in the 1880 census.
Also note that their stepmother was liv- ing with them. Her name appears
to be Angie Conner, and she was listed as being widowed. This suggests
that James Conner died sometime before 1900 and that his wife Nellie had
died earlier than that, leaving James to marry Angie.
Also note in this census that David and Allen could both apparently read
and write. Many people at that time and place were illiterate, both black
and white. David owned his own farm, free of mortgage. This suggests that
more might be learned about David in land, tax, and perhaps probate records
of Florence County.
