Dear Anita, I guess I got lucky. When I looked at the land records for my gggrandfather he was the Solomon Brown living in Dade County, MO so I knew that had to be him. Another gggrandfather's first name was Tilghman Weatherman not very common. But my ggrandfathers name was George W. Brown, very common. I had to compare census location to the land location to determine the and interpret the land records. Hope this helps, Pauline
