From other researchers:
- daughter of Robert Melvin Broadhead and Julia Cain
- Minerva Broadhead’s marriage bond indicateds $100 was paid at the time of her marriage to David Blevins. It is implied that she was part of the Creek Indian Tribe, Muskogee Nation, and it was common practice at the time to charge such a license fee when a white man inntermarried into native tribes. However in 1880 census, family listed as white.
