Mary was 2 years old when her parents came to Dallas. Her father was Samuel Brown, her mother was Anna Brown. Her grandfather and grandmother came with them. Their names were Marlin from Tennessee. They were given a league of land, each family to become farmers and settlers. Grandfather Brown was the first carpenter, first in the Methodist Church and first Masonic member in Dallas. Mary danced in the first courthouse made of logs cut from the timber on the river. The Brown family had fourteen children. All became grown up in the home there.
