***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.***

*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.***
