    Notes:

    Minnie’s bro. & sister cited in family Bible of grandmother Jordan.
    I applied for but there was NO birth cert. 02/2012.
    Vella says Nana said Minnie was the “spanish” or Mexican girl.
    Aunt Martha said she was born in Itasca and her mother was not Mexican, but the father was.
    She had different father than Beatrice and Otis.

    ***29 Sept 2014-After talking with AUnt Martha again and Aunt FLo, concensus is that Minnie had the Mexican father, Beatrice & Otis had different father, possibly a Hightower. Also, that Marshall may not have even been Minnie’s biological mother, either.***

    Spanish. Divorced. May never have been married although death cert. says “Mrs.”.
    Family story goes that the children were illigitimate.
    says born in Teaxs.
    -405 N. Taylor Street, Amarillo, Texas-Death

    *Aunt Martha says Minnie’s father was Spanish, not Minnie’s mother and they were not Gypsy.


    **I’m wondering if she was visiting her grandparents in 1860 and that’s why she’s accossiated with 2 different cesus’. She is with her grandparents 5 Aug 1860 in Macon, AL and then MAYBE back at home with Asbury 9 Sep 1860 in Montgomery. I’m not sure that Edma M and ME are the same person... I am going with the actual birth date listed on her death cert as in 1853 making Catherine Ozier her mother, not Sarah Culbreth. And I believe Marshall & JW are twins if Marhsall is a blood-Hightower. Although...all signs point to Marshall not being a true blood-Hightower unless she is/was illigitimate between a Hightower**
    ***29 Sept 2014-After talking with AUnt Martha again and Aunt FLo, concensus is that Minnie had the Mexican father, Beatrice & Otis had different father, possibly a Hightower. Also, that Marshall may not have even been Minnie’s biological mother, either.***
