Minnie Brown is the great grandmother of my wife and therefore the great great grandmother of our two sons. Minnie was born in February 1862 in Ontario, Canada. She was the daughter of Thomas Brown and his wife, Ann Parry.
Minnie married Dr. William Henry Maines Jeffs on Christmas Day 1890 in York, Ontario, Canada. William and Minnie had two sons: Howard Brown Jeffs born in 1891; and George Douglas Jeffs born in 1893. Both sons became physicians.
Minnie and William also adopted a little girl named Jeanette who was born in the United States in July 1903. Jeanette is shown as their adopted daughter in the 1911 Census of Canada when Jeanette was 8 years old, but nothing more is known about Jeanette or what became of her.
Minnie Brown Jeffs died in Toronto, Ontario, Canada on September 25, 1950 at age 88.
