Dear VIvian,

I found thiis site while browsing for descendants of Penny Ann Dew Brower and Noah Oscar Brower. They were divorced when their two daughters were very young, and he then married Jessie Oliver Murphree.

Mammaw Jessie forbade him to ever speak of his former family to their seven children (my Dad was their fourth son Radford), and only much later in life---about 1956, I think, did one of the ladies come to Daddy's place of work one day and introduce herself, much to his surprise.

She and her husband (Clarence Parlett, from Water Valley, MS) visited with us several times,,, and though she mentioned another sister, I do not remember meeting her and her family at all.
