Their children Minnie Brown, Maggie Brown and Willy Brown (grandfather of the current owners) and Isaiah's mother are pictured. The couple later had another child, Vanny. Willy Brown's daughter, Louise, and her husband, Floyd Mullenix, continued the family farm for many years, as their offspring do now.
The Mullenix Family Farm in Echola was designated a Century and Heritage Farm by the Alabama Department of Agriculture in 2010.
