Does anyone have a connection to John Edward? Brown who was born abt. 1760 in Virginia, died 1804 in VA and married Mary Elizabeth Nelson? Their son, Jabez Nelson Brown b. abt. 1797 in VA. He married Catherine King Devone b. 17 April 1800 North Carolina. Both died in Butler Co., AL. They had 11 children born between 1822 and 1847. They were: John Edward Brown, George Washington Lafayette Brown, Richard Wadkins Brown, William Coolidge Brown, Henry Jackson Brown, Catherine King Brown, Caroline R. V. Brown (my second great grandmother), Mary Brown, Ira Devone Brown, Mariam Narcissa Brown and, James Madison Monroe Brown. In some old handwritten notes from an early genealogist, there is mention of J. N. Brown and his wife came to AL via Florida. There was also some mention of his having been in the "Indian Wars" though I have not been able to find any trace of J. N. in old military records. Carol

While I only have one Brown line, the oldest member has been a brick wall for researchers since I have been searching, and long before. Benjamin Brown (perhaps William Benjamin) b. 17 Feb 1763 Orange County, Va. d. 27 Feb 1846 Ruckersville, Elbert County, Ga. He served with the N.C. Militia and was at the Battle of King's Mountain Below are some notes: Benjamin married Nancy ? (possibly Love) abt 1785 Wilkes County, Ga. Nancy was b. 6 Oct 1763 and d. 14 Oct 1821. Locations are not verified. except she died in Georgia.

Thomas Brown's will was probted in 1765 in what was then Jerusalem, but is now Courtland, in Southampton County, Virginia. The name of his wife is unknown. Dr. Jesse Browne was a prominent doctor and must have been quite willing to serve all who were sick, whether they had money to pay for his services or not. His brothers and he built a hospital at or near Jerusalem, where Doctor Jesse could and did treat those who were not able to pay. Dr. Jesse Browne had one son, Jesse, Jr., of which we have record. There was also a Daniel Brown, who was a son of one of the above, who married Patience Vick on January 16, 1783, who was the daughter of William and Martha Boykin (Or Martha Burwell) Vick. (She was the grand-daughter of William Vick, Sr., and the great-grand-daughter of Josept Vick.) Thomas Browne's children, of which we have record, were: 1. Jesse, who married Esther Stephenson, daughter of Thomas and Elizabeth Stephenson, Sr. Jesse made his will September 24, 1977. It was presented in court by his wife, Esther, on November 8, 1781. Their children were: A. Henry Browne B. Sally Browne C. Thomas Browne 2. Sarah Browne 3. Tabitha Browne 4. Martha Browne, who married James Allen A.

They were married about 1789. Henry Browne died in Wake County, July 1, 1849." I am somewhat confused here as to the pick up of Henry Browne, son of Jesse Browne being listed as 4.

I would like to respectfully request that when people are posting on the list with specific individuals or families, please include a location, be it actual or assumed. With a name like BROWN, there are many people from all areas of the country searching. It saves time and energy for all of us if we can see a location and know that this person is in a location we are searching or not. Not always can we say "well maybe" - in my case it is a very specific family that is a brickwall but I know where they were. Simply a request. Thanks Jo H ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.

Well, I do have to say that this great grandmother of mine - Mary Undine Brown - kept the same spelling of that name until she died, which was in 1912, I believe (off the top of my head). I appreciate all the responses to my two Brown lines, especially the first one I wrote about. How about the second one - my Ezekiel Brown, Jr. ended up in Henry Co., Alabama, and I don't know when he died or where he is buried. His widow was Emily (Greene) Brown, and I don't know when she died either, although I do know that she was still alive in 1870. I also don't know what happened to any of their children except for Amanda, who was my great grandmother who ended up back in Harris Co., GA after being with her husband, John Q. Thomas, at the hospital in Macon, GA. He died in 1864 from wounds sustained in the Civil War. Just to refresh your memories, the name of Ezekiel and Emily Brown's children were: Franklin, Amanda M. (my great grandmother), Elizabeth, George, H. Harrison, Jane, Mary, James, Nancy, and Charles. Surely, there must be some descendants somewhere in Alabama or Mississippi or somewhere, from all these individuals. Perhaps Florida, as I do know that Charles Brown was in the upper part of Florida at one time. Can't seem to find out much of anything from the Henry Co., AL web site. I know that H. Harrison Brown owned land there.

Oh, my word, Carolyn - three Brown lines?!!! Whew! You are lucky, aren't you?!! You sound like one of my nephews. His last name is Brown, which was his father's name, plus he has the same two Brown lines that I have, from his mother (my sister). His father's Brown line came through Milam, Tennessee and on to Arkansas, I believe. Oh, by the way, even though my first name is Carolyn - I go by my middle name, Sue. Some of my other surnames are Johnson (my maiden name), Clark, Winfield, Cowan, McKee, Sherard, Dickey, Wiley, Faver - all on my father's side - just to mention a few. On my mother's side would be Gilbert, Thomas, Canady, Evans, Strickland, Braswell, possibly Taylor, Merritt, Stokes. Thanks for writing.
