 According to Cora Iola Brady-Ledbetter (who was James Franklin Mealer-Brady's daughter - and an avid genealogy researcher), at the time of James Franklin Mealer Brady's birth, James Elias Brady was married to his second wife, Mary L. Brewer (they married on April 30, 1876). However, in the U.S. "Social Security Applications and Claims Index, 1936-2007", James Franklin Brady lists his mother as "Mary L. Brewer". The U.S. Census records appear to corroborate Cora Iola Brady-Ledbetter's version of the events.

Brewer-Brady. Rebecca died 18 months after James Franklin Mealer Brady was born. Prior to her death, she asked Mary to raise him. This led to James Elias Brady & Mary L. Brewer-Brady adopting James Franklin Mealer Brady.
