**Just a side note-My parents, John and Laveta Barrett Brown moved to Florida in 1925 and are considered early settlers of the South Dade County, area, having followed a sister and brother in law of Daddy's to the rural area. My aunt and uncle "homesteaded" in the Redland-Homestead area around 1913. Since that first migration from Mississippi, our family has remained in South Florida. My brother and sister and sister in law remain in the Homestead area while my husband John and I and our son, daughter in law and grandson live in the Palm Beach Gardens area of Palm Beach County. Our daughter, Melanie and son in law Allan, live in Clearwater, Florida.
