Mattie Alvaretta Dulaney and Doc MacDougal BrownThere have been many marriages between the Browns and Dulaneys in Itawamba County. One such union was between Mattie Alvaretta Dulaney and Doc MacDougal Brown. Alvaretta was the daughter of James M. Dulaney and Mary Elizabeth "Betty" Senter. She was not the only child of James and Betty to marry a Brown; in fact, her sister Mary E. married Tobe Brown; her brother James Robert married Mary Ophelia Brown; and her brother Daniel Dove married Elizabeth Sula Brown. That certainly made for easy decisions over which family to spend Christmas with!
Doc Brown was 98 years old when he died in 1957. His obituary indicates that he served many years on the school board for Itawamba County and helped oversee the consolidation of the various county school districts during his service. Alvaretta died in 1947. They are buried at Mt. Pleasant Baptist Church.

I am still amazed at the Dulaney-Brown connection. In talking with the Browns of Itawamba county,their claim to Dulaney Heritage is heartwarming.
