The picture above tells the story of how the related families started in the 1800’s. We celebrate our family history by joining together and learning more about our amazing quad family. Browns-Byas-Flowers-Townley (BBFT) family had produced physicians, educators, medical administrators, collegiate professors, attorneys, military hierarchy, entrepreneurs, city officials, clergy, professional artist in dance, music and fashion, bankers, and many more professions.
