• Notes

  ********** The following is from the Johnson reference: Edward served as Dallas' first district Clerk from 1850 to 1874, was an initial member of Tannehill Masonic Lodge, and was one of the first stewards, class leaders and Sunday School superintendents at First Methodist Church . During the Civil War he was elected Captain of Company C in the Eighteenth Texas Cavalry. Edward's brother Isham also served in Company C but died of disease in 1862. After the war, Lucy and Edward bought and sold land in Dallas. In 1865, Lucy conveyed to Edward the approximately sixty acres containing Browder's Spring. In 1871, the Texas Legislature passed a bill granting right-of-way for the Southern Pacific Railroad with a short rider requiring that in pass within one mile of Broder's Spring, thus assuring the growth of Dallas. In the early 1870's Edward Browder developed Browder's Addition, a fashionable suburb southeast of Dallas, between town and Browder's Spring. In 1872 the city named Browder Street after Edward. The area near Browder's Spring was established as the first city park in honor of the 1876 national centennial, and a portion remains today as Old City Park. Edward Browder died in 1878. The next year, his son, Pleasant Browder, sold Browder's Spring to a private company, which delivered water to Dallas customers. The spring was later sold to the city. Dallas used water from the spring for about eight years before the town's need outgrew the spring's capacity. The spring was reactivated for a short time during the long drought of 1908-1913. Edward belonged to the Methodist Church. ********** Compiled and edited by Allen Alger, Genealogist, Clan Munro Association, USA [1]
