I'm researching the Brown Family of Virginia to Arkansas very eary 1800's . They traveled up the Mississippi River in 1818 to the Red River which was a trip that took 6 months . I am most interested in James Rowland Brown the s/o Cornelius S. Brown & Jane Rowland of Virginia who also made the trip along with John Tollett family . James Rowland Brown b. 1799 VA. d. Abt. 1853 AR . or TX. md. 1.) _____Locke b. ??????? , place marr: ????? 2.) Margaret " Peggy " Pitchlynn . They had the following children : Mary Jane b. Abt. 1835 Ar. md. Alexander James H. b. Abt. 1838 Ar. ........... Caroline b. 1840 Ar. md. Benjamin Smith Sarah Elizabeth b. 1841 Ar. md. 1.) John P. Bishop 2.) Cornelius Smith Thomas B. ( Pitchlynn ) b. 1842 Ar. md. Syntha M. Richardson David Tollett b. 1845 Ar. md. Mary Jane Ferguson Nancy Ann b. 1847 Ar. md. Cornelius Smith Martha C. 1849 Ar. I would like to find out who and where he married these two women and if this is all the children . He may have married the Locke in Tennessee . But I'm confident he married the Pitchlynn in OK. or Ark. Thanks Phyllis

This is a terrific site for anyone who had family in SW Virginia at any time, settlers or homesteaders or some who just passed through. Civil War information, Grayson Co. VA. Court Records, 1860 Floyd Co. VA. Census, and much, much more. Hours can be spent visiting. Well worth looking at, as you never know who you will find. Grayson County borders NC. so two state lookups at one search.

Florida has several pension files for the surname BROWN. It appears that many of these came from states other than Florida, or did their military service in other states. The information is name, service, wife if there is one, county, date and number of pages in the file. If I am not mistaken, there is a flat fee for a file no matter how many pages. http://www.dos.state.fl.us/dlis/barm/PensionIntroduction.htm Carol Don't let another child be hurt by ignorance.

With the list manager's permission, I'm passing along this info. I seem to recall seeing a few posts from people with William Brown ancestors. I just noticed the following book is being offered on Ebay auctions. This is the title and a brief description: "A Genealogical Record of William Brown and Descendants" by W. H. Taylor. Published in Baltimore: Gateway Press, 1978. Revised with a new index. Originally published in 1905. The seller of this book lists many of the Allied families, as well as wives' maiden names. I am NOT the seller and have no connection to the auction, but with such a common name as Wm. Brown I thought others might be interested. I had hoped it would be about my ancestor, but it's not. The seller's initial asking bid is steep, but there's enough info so that someone should definitely be able to figure out if the book is about their William Brown. Good luck. Just trying to help others like myself who have hit brick walls with their Brown's (my direct ancestor is George Brown(e) b. ~1690, England and of Frederick Co., MD in early 1700's). Happy Holidays! Rita

I am looking for information on the Francis Brown who mar. Elizabeth " Betsey " Browning in Knox Co., Tn. on Dec. 31, 1818 . I have seen postings that state Elizabeth Browning b. ca. 1797 Va. was the daughter of James Browning and Elizabeth (?) and that she was the sister of Clarissa Browning who mar. Hugh Leeper Brown . I believe that Francis (Frank) and Elizabeth (Browning) Brown are my g.g.g. grandparents but I have no documented proof of this. These are the names given as the parents of Thomas Henry Brown ,b. Sept. 25, 1830 Tn. (my g.g.grandfather) on his Death Certificate , dated Dec.11, 1913 , he died in Jefferson Co., Ks.. Thomas Henry Brown mar. Emily Rebecca Scrivener Oct. 20, 1853 in Platte Co., Mo. , moving to Leavenworth and Atchison Co.s , Ks. shortly after their marriage. I have a document that was written by a Charles Brown , a grandson of Thomas Henry Brown , and is a recollection of his grandfather's life , ( as he remembered it being told to him ) , he mentions some old rolled up papers, that his grandfather kept in an old Boot Box , which mentioned the marriage of Elizabeth Devine to Frank Browning , stating that they were from Ireland and came to Jamestown , Va. . (no dates given) . He goes on to mention that one of their daughters married a Hugh Brown . ( also no dates given ). I can't verify the accuracy of this letter , but I am assuming that Thomas Henry Brown was relating information about his grandparents , Frank Browning and Elizabeth Devine . Any information on tjis Line would be greatly appreciated . Thank you , Jeff McDonald garaiid@alaska.com
