NOTES: Florence Bowden married Terry Brown in Franklin Parish, LA on November 29, 1894. Mrs. Brown's gravestone gives 1886 as her birth year, but that is plainly wrong based on her marriage record, 1880-1920 U.S. census records (including the 1900 census which gives her birth year/month as July 1870), and her death certificate, which gives her age at death as 70 years.
