BamaGrama, My g-g-g grandmother was Rebecca Ann Brown, wife of Joseph Washington Palmer and daughter of William M. and Rebecca Brown. Could this be the William Marion Brown you are referring to? The family I am referring to is the District 14, Marion County, Alabama 1850 census: BROWN, William M. 33 GA Rebecca 37 NC Emiline 17 GA Robert K. 6 AL Rebecca Ann 9/12 AL Neighbors: BROWN, Robert 35 NC Martha 32 NC William M. 14 GA BROWN, Mary 59 NC I have a photo of Joseph and Rebecca Brown Palmer, but no little about the Brown family. Thought we might have a connection. THanks, Randy Uselton Huntsville, AL ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.
