Minerva Lister was allegedly the daughter of Dr. Simon Lister and he was very wealthy in land and slaves. He owned as much as 1500 acres along Middle Tyger River and what is now Pleasant Hill Road (although this is in some contrast to their situation in 1860 and 1870, with very few resources).

A document furnished by Lorene Fisher regarding the Lister Family said "someone came to visit Minerva, Barney's widow after the war and told her that he had seen Barney blown to pieces (litterally) on the battlefield. Another document states that Barney was killed on the battlefield in Virginia"

Minerva (Manurva) L. Morrow is shown as a landowner of Greenville County, in Highland Township, in 1888-1889 owning 47 acres. This land came from the Miller tract which is referred to in Dr. Listers will.

Minerva was often called "Nervie"
