Lucy Melvina Browne, daughter of Darius Quimby and Nancy McPherson Browne, of Warren Tennessee, was born in Tennessee and married there to James J Johnson. They moved to Louisiana by 1850. James died in the Civil War in 1864,
Some of Lucy's children went to Texas before her: Her eldest, Nancy Syble, married David Crocket Dempsey in 1869, four years after James died. The marriage is recorded in Kaufman County Texas. David was a widower with 2 daughters. Nancy Syble and David Dempsey are on the 1870 census in Kaufman County. The second child to marry was Sarah Elizabeth, who married Alfred Frederick Grabbs in 1872 in Kaufman Texas, where Nancy Syble already lived. So two daughters settled in Kaufman County. The third marriage was that of William T to Sarah Scarborough in Louisiana in 1876. He remained in Louisiana and is listed in the 1880 census in Sabine Parish with his wife and one year old daughter. The fourth marriage was that of Samuel to Lula Masters in Alabama in 1877. They are shown on the census in Titus County Texas with one child by 1880, not far from Kaufman County. So 3 of Lucy's children settled in East Texas.
At the beginning of 1880, Lucy Melvina was still in Louisiana (Natchitoches) as were 3 of her children: Franklin, Emma and Lony/Leona. Four children were married and 3 were living in Texas, as documented by census reports. William T and his wife and one child were still in Louisiana in Sabine Parish. Emma was the 5th child to marry. She was married in September 1880 to Thomas Jefferson Howland. At the end of 1880, only two children remained unmarried. Lona Melvina married James Madison Risinger in 1884, and Franklin B married Gertrude Knott in 1888. Lucy Melvina apparently went to Texas AFTER all of her children had married rather than going to Texas with her family after her husband died. We have no information on where any of them were in 1890, given the destruction by fire of those census records. But by 1900, Lucy was living with Frank in Fort Bend County, and William T and his family were living in Trinity County.
Lucy Melvina, Franklin B, William T, and several of William T's children are buried in Glendale Cemetery, Trinity Texas.
