  Notes	Lorenza [Loron] Dowden [Dowd] "Bud" Hibbard was born in Stafford, Ft.Bend County, Texas in 1871 and like his father, Loran H. "Judge" Hibbard, he was also a farmer and carpenter. He traveled around South Texas building houses during the early 1900's. His eyes were greenish and he was average in size. Records refer to him as "Lorenza", but everything that he ever signed was signed as "Loron", which is short for "Lorenza". He married Sarah Martha "Mattie" Cunningham from Nashville, Tennessee in 1891. Lorenza and Mattie lived for some time in Navasota, Texas as work was good there. Everything indicates a happy wholesome life except that Lorenza was away much of the time working and Mattie and the children missed him terribly. He appeared on the 1900 US Census Texas Precinct 3 #46-48, Ft. BendCounty, Texas as a farmer and carpenter. He appeared on the 1910 US Census Texas Precinct 3 #2-2, Ft. Bend County, Texas. He died June 14,1923 in Harris County, Texas.
