Terry, I don't know enough about my BROWN line to tie anywhere. Rev. John W. POTTER (1818-1883) was married in 1844 to Martha Eunice BROWN in Cherokee Co. we think--no records for that time. The date is given in Rev. John's obit. In 1850, Barilla BROWN & Calvin BROWN were living with the POTTER family in Cherokee Co. I believe this is the same Calvin BROWN who later married a sister of Emma SANSOM of Civil War fame. Have nothing else at present to add.
