The census shows her being the granddaughter of Daniel Brown and his wife, Harrett. Harrett's nee name was Bell. I speculate Emma was the daughter of Daniel's eldest son, John Brown, who was also enumerated in the 1880 census of Anderson County and living close to the Daniel Brown family. If so, Emma was most likely a daughter of John's by a previous marriage since the children in John's household were ages 4 & 2 and their mother, Louesa, was born in Alabama, while the census states Emma's mother was born in Mississippi. The Daniel Brown family were enumerated in McLennan County, TX in 1860. At that time John Brown was 13 years old. My husband is a descendent of Daniel & Harrett through their daughter, Martha "Mattie" Brown Cash. Kathy Baker Holly Lake Ranch, TX
