Carolyn, I am no longer actively researching my husband's BROWN family; but I thought I would share a few things about the BROWN family that came through Georgia (from the Carolina's) and then moved into Northern Alabama. In deed, many of the BROWN's were from Ireland and many of these BROWN males married into the Cherokee Indian tribes of the Carolina's before they made their journey into Georgia. The Cherokee Indians were smart and they knew that the white man was going to take the land, so most of these Indian people tried to blend into the white man's society and of course marriage was a step in that direction. My husband's grandfather, William P. BROWN married Princes "Little Feather" who was known as Elizabeth. Her father was a Cherokee Indian Chief in the Carolinas where both Elizabeth and William P. BROWN were born in the early 1800s. After their marriage, they moved into Gwinnett County, near Lawrenceville, Georgia where William P. BROWN fought in the Creek Indian War. There they had their children except for the last one and she was born in Chatooga County, Georgia about the same time that the Cherokee alphabet was supposed to have been developed there. Shortly thereafter, they moved into Marshall County, Alabama where William P. BROWN and one of his Creek War fighting buddies were granted land. The important thing here is that somewhere around the Lawrenceville area there is a cemetery full of BROWNS. I cannot find my material; but from memory some of the tombstones read that they were from Ireland. I also know that their was a State of Georgia Governor BROWN who was in office somewhere around Civil War times and he was directly related to the BROWNS in this cemetery. One of my husband's deceased Aunts told us that our BROWN family was related to that Governor and since William P. BROWN lived near this cemetery it made it a possibility. At any rate, it might help if you tried to find the cemetery I mentioned above because as I recall the tombstones made mention of where in Ireland the older ones had come from---you can be sure these BROWNS were Irish until they married in with the Cherokee. William is one of their most popular family names and they all have children with the same names so it was a hard couple of years of research to get as far as I did. Good luck to you, Chocy ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.

You can search this yourself at www.familysearch.org all of the 1880 census is on line as a transcription. If you want the actual page e-mail me at [email protected] . Glad I could help.
