Such a shame prejudice and ingnorance cause these rifts and people afraid to find scoundrals in their families. They are missing out on the really great people as well. Every family has at least one scoundral! Most have secrets, also. My situation is a brick wall caused by ignorance and secrets. What's a person to do? I'm missing out on some really super people also, I'm sure. In the grand scheme of things, what do those things from even one generation ago even matter? Why would it be so important today to keep people from their heritage? So sad...

Well, first if you are looking for a Manning family; there is one here in Indianapolis that's pretty famous named "Peyton". I had to throw that in. As for a story like that, I also have one or two. In the mid-1800's my g-grandfather W.D. Rimes (from Louisiana) supposedly had an argument with his dad over horses and music and ran off. He changed his name from Rhymes to Rimes and at times was quite a scoundrel. One of his daughters married a cousin of Black Jack Ketchem but she and her husband were very nice people. Now W.D.'s second wife (my g-grandmother) was living with a cruel aunt when she was 12 and ran away. I can't find out what happened to her mother and dad so she is a brick wall. She supposedly had enough Indian blood to qualify her living on a reservation but was ashamed of it. I've heard her name was Butcher but she lived with a family named Guthrie who took her in. On her wedding information, she used the name Guthrie as hers. There must have been something in the water in LA in those days. I've heard that many people concocted stories like that to get away from something in their past--like Indian blood. That's something that I'm proud of today but was really frowned upon in those days. If you could chronicle these stories, you might have a hit TV series like Roots. Ha! Good luck. I feel for you.

Hi! My Brown's are from Louisiana (supposedly). My grandfather Edward Brown ran away from home when he was 16 and never returned and never saw any of his family again. What he told his wife and children was this: Supposedly his mother died when he was 14 his father (Robert Brown) remarried and he did not get along with his step mother so he moved in with his mother's brother (mother's name Sallie (Manning) Brown. My grandfather supposedly had two brothers one named Woods and another named Joseph. Anyway my grandfather and his Uncle got into a fight and my grandfather thought he killed the Uncle and took off and never had anything else to do with any of his family. So consequently I don't know if my real last name is Brown or not. I have searched records in Lousiana trying to find a Robert Brown or a Manning Family. Supposedly one side of the family owned a sugar plantation the other side a sugar factory. What whose knows, I certainly don't. If anyone out there has heard a story like this I'd love to hear from you. Thanks Lora

I have had very little luck with my Browns and I've been watching the list for a long time. I haven't posted in forever so I thought I'd give it another shot. Lavilla Brown b. 1841 married James Scott Worthy b. unknown, d. unknown in East Feliciana Parish, LA Dec. 23, 1868. They had three children, James Scott, Eugene Benjamin and Thomas. The 1880 census lists Bunyan Brown as Lavilla's half brother and living with her. His father was listed as being born in South Carolina, as was hers but it appears that they had different mothers. Lavilla's mother was listed as being born in South Carolina and Bunyan Brown's mother was listed as being born in Louisiana. Lavilla disappears after the 1880 census. James Scott Worthy II b. March 1875 marries Lelia Claira Brown b April 1880, August 29, 1899 in East Feliciana Parish, LA They have five children, Scott Thomas, Earl Benton, Lelia Agnes, Thelma and Brownie Louvilla. I cannot find Lelia's parents or when she died, which I know was shortly after the birth of Brownie Louvilla in 1910 in Bunkie, LA. Anybody have any Brown's in Louisiana? Barbara

What is the time frame for your Joseph from Cayuga Co.? Do you know where in Cayuga County? Auburn? Sonja

I can not find my Brown ancestor. Margaret Brown (unknown maiden name) born in England married Andrew Jackson (Brown?). The Andrew Jackson is listed as her father on her burial record in Columbus, OH. She had the following known children all born in PA, possibly Southwark: ELIZA BROWN, DOB 1828 ELVINA BROWN, DOB 1833 VIRGINIA BROWN, DOB 1837 MATILDA BROWN, DOB 1822 FANNY BROWN, DOB 1831 Fanny married Joseph Shuster (DOB 1826), one known child WILLIAM SHUSTER who was 7 months old at the time of the 1850 census. Matilda married JOSEPH QUINN (DOB 1822). their children were GEORGE W. QUINN (DOB 1848) and ROBERT QUINN (age 8 months at the time of the 1850 census. Joseph and Matilda moved to Ohio where they had two more children, JOSEPH (MY GRANDFATHER) and THOMAS. They lived in Ohio until their deaths in 1895. Does anybody have any information on these people? More info such as exact DOB and DOD, names of wives and children, where they lived etc available on request. Thanks for any help.

Hello list, my ancestor was Joab/Jacob Bird who left a will in 1782, Wake Co., NC. The executors of his will was his wife, Jane, and Robin or Robert Brown; it's shown Robin Brown in the will and Robert Brown in the court minutes. Does anyone have a Brown/Bird/Byrd connection prior to the Revolution? Sure appreciate your help. Regards, Phillip Furr
