About 1852, James BROWN and Mildred MAYS and their family emigrated from Marshall Co,
MISSISSIPPI to DeWitt Co, TEXAS, very close to the EDGAR Family Homestead. The two families
became even closer when four EDGARS married four BROWNS. Today, Brown Road meets
Concrete-Edgar Road as shown at the bottom of the linked satellite photo.
