elix Grundy Lewis(1845-1919) and Abraham Pinkney Green(1844-1927) were both young men in Fayette County, Texas, between 1870 and 1880. Abe Married Felix's little sister Jennie(1853-1927) and Felix married Sarah Ann Ligon(1853- 1918). Sarah's family had just moved from Virginia to Texas. Sarah's brother Ben (1851-1918)married another of Felix's young sisters, Catherine 'Kate' M(1852-1910). Felix and Abe moved around a bit before settling near Thorpe Springs, Hood County, Texas. They were both were interested in cattle and land and formed a partnership that lasted until they retired. They founded the Circle L Ranch in Hood county which was one of the larger ranches in the county at that time. Unlike most brother in laws, Felix and Abe got along better that blood brothers. They even bought a joint plot in the Granbury Cemetery for both families to be buried in. Felix, Sarah, Ben and Jennie and many of their kids are all buried together.
