Mississippi Lurenia Brown was born Sept 1851 in Anderson County, Texas. She was the daughter of John R. Brown and Elizabeth Pigford. Sadly, she did not get to know her parents. Something, possibly something tragic, happened to her Mother and father before she reached the age of two or three. I have looked extensively to uncover their demise without any success. But, I know that John R. Brown died between 1852 and 1853 and his wife Elizabeth Pigford died about 1852-1853.
Five of their 6 children were taken in by both the Pigford and Brown family separating the children while very young. Some to Mississippi, Texas and Arkansas. Their oldest child and daughter, Martha, born Jan 1839 married Andrew S, Bradley on 15 May 1854.
The youngest child, Mississippi Lurenia Brown, born Sept 1851 was placed with her Uncle Alford D. Pigford and his wife Charity in Lauderdale County, Mississippi.
There on 13 October 1874, Mississippi Lurenia Brown and Andrew Jackson “Jack” Garrison were married.
Jack and Mississippi raised a family of 6 children; 3 sons and 3 daughters. Mississippi passed away in 1909 exact date unknown and Jack passed away on 14 February 1915.
