We also discussed how they named their children it seems after their siblings..and how my dad has a sister named Mossie,but when she grew up and left t! o live in Louisville,she was then called Juanita?So Im not sure if papaw named her after his sister or not but it sure seems that way,after all he did name one of his sons after one of his brothers that we new of..which was F.B or Frank Brown.So as far as I know,Mossie was his half sister.I hope this helps you some and I appreciate you writing to me.If you find any info as well,please feel free to share it with me...and by the way,welcome to my family!=) Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
