Her FindAGrave memorial page, created by Donna, links her to husband John Brewer (FAG# 18319490), as well as to her mother, Christian "Crissa" Price McFarlane.
Bio copied from her FindAGrave memorial page, created by SnL roots:
Jane A. McFarlane, daughter of William Monroe McFarlane and wife, Christian Jane Price; born in Warren Co. Tennessee Oct. 12, 1821.
Moved with family to Texas in 1848 and married Robert B. Curtis and ..."settled south of Jasper, TX. After R.B.'s death in 1889, Jane lived with her daughters, Mallie Sims and Tennessee Gandy, and at times with Aurrie Curtis, her daughter-in-law. As was the case with her Mother, Jane went blind in her old age. She died in 1905." from speach given in 1971 by Robert F. Conn on the dedication of new stone for Christian Jane McFarlane.
FindAGrave shows her as a daughter of William Monroe McFarlane and Christian Jane Price of Warren County, Tennessee. Last name instead listed as McFarland on the death certificates of son Millard and daughter Chrisie Josephine.
This was thought be her obituary, but this is unlikely. Census records seem to indicate she died between 1860 and 1870. Census records should first be examined to see if this is a good fit. Dickson County was adjacent to Williamson County, Tennessee.
The Dickson County Herald of Dickson, TN, dated Friday, January 22, 1909:
After a brief illness Mrs. Sallie McLemore, mother of J. P. McLemore, proprietor of the McLemore Hotel, died at the home of her son, here, at an early hour Wednesday morning aged 80 years. The remains were conveyed Wednesday to Flatwoods, Wayne County, the former home of the deceased, where they were interred Thursday. Deceased was an excellent woman and her long life was replete with noble deeds.

In 1870, he was listed at home with his parents and siblings, and not with (first wife?) Priscilla Jane Evans.
In 1880, he was remarried to an Ida, and living in Sabine County, Texas. The 1900 Sabien County census shows Ida as widowed, and living with son Drayton, one of her three living children. George was shown in the household--logical if Ida was a widow.
However the McGown cemetery has a double tombstone for George McGown (#27357164)and Ida McGown (# 27357205). The headstone, engraved with the words "Father" and "Mother" show that George was born 1852, and died in 1897. Ida was shown with a date of birth of 1850 (later than her birthdate per the 1900 census of Nov 1844) and date of death as 1905.
Are these discrepencies the result of errors on either/or the census and grave markers? Or could their have been two George and Ida McGown families, approximately the same age, in Sabine County.
