Chocy, The Brown line is new to me. My husband's Minerva Brown m. James Porter Doss. I am looking for Minerva's daddy. I believe she was born in Marshall Co, AL. I haven't been able to obtain any Brown family census info from Marshall Co yet. I noticed in 1900 index there were numerous families. Minerva had her first child in 1867 and her children were General Buford, James Martin"Mart", Rueben, Mrytle, and Cain. her husband served in the Civil War. Shelby
