\nearly settlers of Haywood County. Mr. Maclin, Sr., was one of the founders
\nand first merchants of Brownsville, being one of the two firms that survived
\nthe panic of 1837. Only two of the six children born to them lived to be
\ngrown, and in 1863 the mother died and two years later Mr. Maclin married
\nEmily Maclin, daughter of Capt. William Maclin, of Haywood County, and by this
\nmarriage had six children. In 1866 they moved to Tipton County, where they
\nstill live. They are members of the Presbyterian Church. Politically he was
