Where did your W. W. Brown live? Most of my Browns lived NE of Centreville on the road to Montevallo. This was the Jesse A. Brown line.

The Susan Latham that married John W. Brown is my line. I descend from Cornelius Latham through his daughter Catherine. It seems I do not have Jesse A. Brown in my file. Either he did not connect or I missed him. I do not live in Bibb County but have been there to a Hicks Latham Reunion. My file is extensive since everybody in that county married their relative or a relative of a relative. After doing more research today, I am thinking that William Wesley Brown that died in Mississippi might not be the son of John H. Brown & Susan. They had a son by that name, but I have been doing census research today and lots of things don't match. I will search some more tomorrow and hopefully I can come up with some reliable information.
