    JAMES DANIEL BROWDER, M. D., retired physician of Gallion, Hale county,
Ala., was born in Dinwiddie county, Va., May 22, 1820. He is a son of Thomas and
Jane D. (Montague) Browder, both natives of Virginia and descendants of
prominent families in that state. Dr. Browder received a liberal education at a
neighboring academy, graduating at the age of nineteen. In 1839 he left Virginia
and came to Alabama, locating in Marengo county, reaching there January 14,
1840, having traveled the entire distance, 1,200 miles, on horseback. In Marengo
county he began life as a school teacher, and soon after becoming established in
his profession, he retraced his steps to Virginia in order to prepare himself
for the practice of medicine. He entered the medical department of the.
university of Virginia, and took a course of lectures. He then entered.
Jefferson Medical college, at Philadelphia, graduating in 1842. Returning to the
cane brake regions of Marengo and Hale counties, he began the practice of
medicine, which he continued to follow until 1848, when he returned to
Philadelphia and married Miss Maria Louisa Chapron of that city. He returned
with his bride to Alabama and has since that time continued to follow the
practice of medicine until within a few years. He resides at Gallion. He and his
wife have five children living, two sons and three daughters. One son is a
planter in Sumter county, while another, William M.; is a prominent and
successful practitioner of medicine at Gallion, Ala., with his father. Dr.
Browder and wife and family are members of the Roman Catholic church, and have
always been well known and highly respected people.
