Thanks to everyone who answered my medical question. This site came across another List and if everyone has already seen it please forgive. There are two Browns on this list. http://members.home.net/tevlu/lostcolony/index.html Has anyone here traced their family to the Lost Colony group ? Gerri Ann

Looking for the burial plots of William Wallace Brown and his first wife, Hannah Caldwell. In 1865, he was living in Malta ( Saratoga County, NY) with his children, Judson, Wallace and Morgan and an aunt, Anna Brown. Also, who were his parents? (He was born in 1829, probably in Stillwater, Saratoga Co.) Sonja Abate

Could someone tell me please if there are any unusual hereditary illnesses common to Brown families ? Sorry about the wording but I couldn't seem to work it out any other way! Thanks for any/all help, Gerri Ann

IMO, that would depend on which Brown one was descended from and what one would consider 'unusual'. In my immediate (4 generations) - extended family members of Brown now living, I have an awareness of Parkinson's being prevalent in some branches female members, Hodgkin's being prevalent in some branches male members, Crohn's being prevalent in both genders; as are many of the 'common' health problems of many persons in our modern sedentary world of high-blood pressure, heart disease, adult onset diabetes (TypeII - some are insulin dependant) - to offset all of this seems to be an amazing resilience among the members of the family who even 150 years ago were living well into their 80s and beyond. http://www.niddk.nih.gov/health/digest/pubs/crohns/crohns.htm Theories about what causes Crohn's disease abound, but none has been proven. The most popular theory is that the body's immune system reacts to a virus or a bacterium by causing ongoing inflammation in the intestine. People with Crohn's disease tend to have abnormalities of the immune system, but doctors do not know whether these abnormalities are a cause or result of the disease. Crohn's disease is not caused by emotional distress. http://www.pdf.org/aboutdisease/overview/symptoms.html The actual cause of PD is not known. Although a defective gene was recently found in a few families with extraordinarily high incidences of PD, most researchers believe that in the vast majority of cases, genetic factors alone are not responsible for causing the disease. Instead, it is suspected that Parkinson's usually results from the combination of a genetic predisposition and an as yet unidentified environmental trigger. When PD occurs, degenerative changes are found in an area of the brain known as the substantia nigra, which produces dopamine, a chemical substance that enables people to move normally and smoothly. Parkinson's disease is characterized by a severe shortage of dopamine. It is this deficiency that causes the symptoms of PD. http://www3.cancer.org/cancerinfo/load_cont.asp?st=pr&ct=20&language=english "Certain families have been described with many family members who develop Hodgkin's disease, but this doesn't seem to be caused by a problem with their genes. Even if someone does have one or more risk factors for Hodgkin's disease, it is impossible to know for sure how much that risk factor contributed to causing the cancer. In general, we can say that no major risk factors for Hodgkin's disease have been discovered yet." > Could someone tell me please if there are any unusual hereditary illnesses > common to Brown families ? > Sorry about the wording but I couldn't seem to work it out any other way! > > Thanks for any/all help, Gerri Ann --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

Hello Mrs. Donald (Irene) Brown of Manito Illinois. (Irene, sister of Velma M. Swisher of Pekin Illinois) Seeking information on this family. Thomas W. Rogers

Greetings, I'm not sure if anyone can help me or not, but I'll provide you with what little I know about my own BROWN ancestors in Scotland and hope there might be a connection with your tree. David Reside BROWN born Abt. 1795 Of West Kilbride, Ayr, Scotland; spouse Mary Ann CAMERON. David died 13 Jan 1886. They had at least one child: Robert BROWN born Abt Oct 1830 Kilbride, Scotland; spouse Janet DARROGH? or DARROCH. Janet was born about 1826 and died 28 Jul 1899 in Ontario. Robert died 7 Mar 1913 in Ontario (I believe this is where he and Janet died). Robert and Janet had 9 known children. The eldest two were born in Scotland, the rest were born in Ontario, Canada: 1. Mary (born about 1854 in Scotland) 2. James John Edward (born 7 May 1855 in Scotland; died 15 Sep 1934, buried in Hamilton, ON) 3. Hugh Reside (born 19 Jan 1857 in Minto twp. Wellington Co., ON; died 12 Dec 1939 in Toronto, ON) 4. Robert David (born 29 Sep 1859 in Palmerston, ON; died abt May 1944 in Stephenson Twp., Muskoka Dist., ON) 5. William E. (born 4 May 1861 in Minto twp. Wellington Co., ON; died Nov 1945 in Port Sydney, Stephenson Twp., Muskoka Dist., ON) 6. Janet (born about 1863) 7. Archibald (born 18 Nov 1864 in Minto twp. Wellington Co., ON; died 3 Mar 1943 in Port McNicoll, Tay Twp., Simcoe Co., ON) 8. Catherine "Kate" Anne (born 18 May 1866) 9. Margaret Emma (born Abt 1868) I have a few spouses for the above children and Hugh Reside BROWN is my great-great-grandfather. I'd love to hear from you if you think there might be a connection. Thanks for checking this out. Sincerely, Melissa Kluey

I just sent the following to my lists. I thought I would send it along here, too, in case any of you missed the news. >From Ancestry's Daily News: IN THE NEWS ONLINE: USENET ARCHIVES BACK ONLINE =============================================== The search engine Google.com (http://groups.google.com/) has reposted over 650 million messages posted to Usenet dating back to the mid- 1990s. For more information, see: http://www.ecommercetimes.com/perl/story/9320.html You didn't miss them while they were gone, you say? Well, then, you have been missing out on a LOT of fascinating genealogy material. When the Internet was in its infancy, before the birth of the World Wide Web even, there was Usenet. These days, sadly, many ISPs don't even run a news server, and many folks have only accessed the Usenet newsgroups via Deja, or through the gatewayed/mirrored Rootsweb lists. Unfortunately, the auto-moderator for the Surnames lists has been broken for a long time, and is not yet fixed, so the list method of access was closed, and since Deja was sold to Google.com, there wasn't even any web access left. [Of course, you can still search the list Archives here at Rootsweb, http://searches2.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/listsearch.pl?list=SURNAMES-L ] But that has all changed, and you can now search all of Usenet, or only selected parts, with the wonderful Google search engine. Try it, you'll like it! It might even inspire you to fire up your news reader, and access Usenet directly.

I noticed your message on the BROWN-MO list and wanted to follow up. I have been searching for a very long time for information about my g-g-grandfather, William T. BROWN, and wonder if there may be a connection to those listed in your message. I offer the following information and seek help from anyone who may have knowledge or a connection to this line. Thanks very much, Lonna Jean (Idaho) William T. BROWN was born 26 August 1817 somewhere in Kentucky, and died 09 February 1899 in Couch, Oregon Co., Missouri. He married Lear F. ? before 1843 in Kentucky. She was born in 1822 somewhere in Kentucky, and died after 1880 probably in Couch, Oregon Co., Missouri. The William T. BROWN family left Kentucky about 1849. Three of their nine children were born in Kentucky on or before September 1848. I first find them in the 1850 Lawrence Co., Tennessee Census (La-530723). Brown, William J., 32; Leah 27; Mary F., age 6, Jas. K., age 4; Missaring (Misinair), age 2; KY, KY. I do not know how long William and his family remained in Lawrence Co., TN. The remainder of their children were born in Tennessee. They next appear in the 1860 and 1870 Hardin Co., Tennessee Census records. 1860 Hardin Co., TN Census (Hd-2-284) Brown, William T., 42; Lear F., 37; Mary F., 16; James, 14; Missmier (Misinair), 12 (f); Joseph, 9; George W., 6; Archibald, 3; Elizabeth J., 1. 1870 Hardin County, Tennessee Census, 3rd Civil Dist., page 361; household 89; family 86; William, age 50, M, W, Farmer, 0/900, KY; Leah, age 47, F, W, Keeping House, KY, SC, KY; Joseph, age 20, M, W, Works on Farm, TN; Missiniah (Misinair), age 21, F. W, KY; George, age 15, M, W, Works on Farm, TN; Archibald, age 14, M, W, Works on Farm, TN; Elizabeth, age 11, F, W, TN; Drury, age 8, M, W, TN; Cornelia, age 3, F, W, TN. Children born to William T. BROWN and Lear F. ? are: 1. Mary F. BROWN, b. 1844, Kentucky. 2. James K. BROWN, b. 1846, Kentucky. 3. Misinair N. BROWN, b. 07 September 1848, Kentucky; d. 04 December 1914, Tabor, Bingham County, Idaho. 4. Joseph BROWN, b. 1851, Tennessee. 5. George W. BROWN, b. April 1854, Tennessee; d. Aft. 1900 AR. 6. Archibald BROWN, b. Abt. 1856, Tennessee. 7. Elizabeth J. BROWN, b. Abt. 1859, Tennessee. 8. Drury M. BROWN, b. Abt. 1862, Hardin Co., Tennessee. 9. Cornelia BROWN, b. Abt. 1867, Hardin Co., Tennessee. My g-grandmother was Misinair N. BROWN. She married John William WHEELER 19 November 1874 in Hardin Co., TN, son of Thomas M. WHEELER and Louisa TYCER. He was born 17 October 1849 in Clifton, Wayne Co., TN, and died 12 Sept. 1934 in Tyhee, Bannock Co., Idaho. George W. BROWN married Sarah E. FOSTER 22 November 1874 in Hardin Co., TN, daughter of Francis FOSTER and Elizabeth MOSER. She was born 07 February 1860 in TN and died 15 July 1938 in Clay Co., Arkansas. George and Sarah obtained a marriage license on the same day that John W. WHEELER and Misinair did. Sometime during the mid to late 1870's, William T. BROWN moved to Oregon Co., Missouri. Accompanying William and his wife were two minor children, a son Drury M., and a daughter Cornilia as well as oldest son James K. who was apparently a widower with three minor children. John W. WHEELER, Misinair N. BROWN and an adopted son, Josiah W. AUSTIN also migrated to Dent Co., Missouri about 1878. George W. BROWN, his wife Sara and two small daughters also migrated to Oregon Co. 1880 Federal Census of Oak Grove Township, Oregon County, Missouri, Wm. Brown, Farmer, 62 KY; wife Lear (born in Kentucky whose father was born in South Carolina and whose mother was born in Kentucky), sons James, KY, and D.M., TN, and daughter Corna, TN; and three grandchildren were listed in this record: Jhon (John) W., a grandson 8 years of age, born in Tennessee; Mary, a granddaughter 5 years of age, born Tennessee; Sara, a granddaughter 3 years of age, born Tennessee. (Note: All three of the grandchildren show their father was born in Kentucky and their mother in Alabama. I surmise these children belong to James who was a widower at that time.

I have no information about Mary F., James K., Archibald, Elizabeth J., Drury M., or Cornelia. Nor do I know what became of the three grandchildren who were listed in William T. BROWN’S home in the 1880 Oregon Co., MO Census. I have found a James BROWN who purchased 40 acres in Oregon Co., MO 28 January 1904. He lived in nearby Shannon Co., MO at the time he bought the land. This property is 4 miles North and 1 mile East of the 83.52-acre homestead William T.
