I have a Sarah Brown, born about 1876 in Arkansas. Sister of- Milas F. Brown,born about 1868, Arkansas William F. Brown, born about 1870, Arkansas Robert W. Brown, born about 1874, Arkansas Charity Lucinda Brown, born about 1877, Arkansas, married Horace Ewing Ruff Daughter of- Leroy Franklin Brown, born about 1835, McNairy County, Tennessee & Amanda Wright (married 24 March 1844, Randolph County, Arkansas) Daughter of Philliman W. & Charity (Johnson) Wright. born 1844 Mississippi Leroy was the son of- Absalom Abner Brown, born 1808 McNairy County, Tennessee, died October 1883, maybe Harmon Community, maybe buried Son's Chapel Cemetery, near Fayetteville, Arkansas & Lucinda Swain, born 1808 Mcnairy County, Tennessee (maybe Georgia) and died before 9 December 1888, when Absalom married Francis Ward. Abner and Lucinda had ten children, all were borrn in McNairy County, Tennessee. They moved to Randolph County, Arkansas in 1858 using oxen and five wagons. In 1876 , Abner and Francis along with two of Abner's children moved to Springdale, Arkansas, Washington County. The two children were Jefferson LaFayette Brown (with his wife Talitha AnnLewis More Brown and their infant son Rolandus Brown) and Sylvania Belle Brown (with her husband Hayward Tompson and their daughter Ida Thompson). In 1883, Springdale became crowded and the new railroad scared the livestock, sometimes killing the livestock so they moed to the community now called Harmon , west of Springdale and Tontitown. Jefferson LaFayette Brown and wife, William Wright and wife and Haywood Thompson and wife organized the first Methodist Church in the vicinity of Harmon, Arkansas. William's wife Meoma Adeline Brown was a sister to Jefferson LaFayette Brown and was my great grand mother. Yes Ramona, I would like a copy of the picture. Also, the Absalom story is on my family tree website, http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~dmccamey/ , under the story "Descendants of Absalom Abner Brown".
