BrendaCensus InfoTue Sep 19 23:15:21 2000 Thanks for your time. I will try to find the census info on line. According to the Parsons family Bible my Dad has and the sheet from the TX Archives, MB was born in 1833 so he would have been 16 - 17 during the 1850 census. I do know he died in 1907 in the Confederate Soldier's Home in Austin, TX. It seems to me that for the time period involved, he got around quite a bit.Parents of M.B.? — Hayes Lowe, Wed Sep 20 10:27 Parents of MB? — Brenda, Wed Sep 20 16:23
