Notes for Lucy M. Brown
Considering Anna Carter Brown’s age, it is possible that Lucy was just raised by them. She may be a daughter of John’s sister Jemima.
Her gravestone says Lucy M. Tolliver, wife of H. B. Tolliver, Sep 18, 1877 - Sep 1, 1908

Notes for Hendrix Burton “Bert” & Lucy M. (Family)
Their marriage is not registered in Rowan Co., and records from the 1890’s and later are fairly complete, so it was probably in Elliott Co., where both Bert and Lucy were living in 1900.
