(pt.2 - page 484) Cumberland Presbyterian Church, now of Greenfield. Two of it's ministers, among others, were W.W. Brown and B.F. Logan. (note LP - grandfather Brown carried the name of Cumberland Presbyterian Church throughout his ministry. The B.F.

1850 - W.W. Brown was a minister of the Greenfield, Cumberland Presbyterian Church in Dade, County, MO., in 1850. His ministry was also known and taught as the "Old School". (source: MO.5 pt. 2, page 482) 10 May 1851 Mary E. Brown was born to William and Jane, in Greenfield, Dade, Missouri. She was given the name Mary from the infant Mary that William and Margaret lost. During this era in time, most religions believed that naming another child after a deceased infant, the spirit will again return and dwell in the living child.
Mary E., is the 7th child of William and Jane's 4th. The first and only child to be born in Greenfield, Dade, Missouri.
