Besides the BROWNs I listed earlier in the Roll Call, there are a few "miscellaneous" or seemingly unconnected BROWNs in our families: 1) A Mr. BROWN married ELIZABETH ROARK, daughter of William ROARK, Sr., and ??Muhuldah??. William ROARK was born in 1760 in Ireland and died in 1843 in Cottage Grove, Saline Co., IL. ELIZABETH ROARK had several siblings: John; William Aaron (married w/1 child); Michael (b. 1796; m. Nancy EVANS in 1818 in Muehlenberg, KY (one of my BRICK WALLS!!!); 2 daughters=Ellen and Hannah); and Martin. 2) EVERETT BROWN married IDA GERALDINE BOWMAN. Both presumed to be still living. Other interconnecting surnames through IDA are: FOREMAN, BURLEIGH, BARTON, McHENRY, ADAIR, GILLAND .... (NOTE: RUTH GILLAND 1821-1883, m. John FOREMAN, is another "brick wall" for me.) 3) JULIA V. BROWN married BROUGHTON C. SLATEN in 1900. Broughton was born in 1879 to MINERVA DAVIS (b. 1853; m. 1876 near Harrisburg, Saline Co., IL) and JAMES C. SLATEN, Jr. (b.1842/IL; d. 1909) and had the following siblings: Minnie, Idaho, Logan, and John III. Other related names are: BODINE, FREELAND, ROARK, & EVANS(this is Nancy again...See#1). 4) MAMIE BROWN married ALBERT CLAY NEWELL (1884-1932). Albert's parents were CYRUS MARION NEWELL (1858/Eubanks, KY-1907) and Salena Frances BUCHANAN (1859/Science Hill, Pulaski Co., KY - 1927). They were married in 1878 at the home of Rachel BUCHANAN w/Geo. McDONALD as witness. Albert's siblings were EDUARD LEATEN (this is how it was spelled); MARTHA JANE; SARAH MARGARET; EVERETT DeWITT; & HARDIN HARRISON NEWELL. Related names: MEECE and JAMESON. This family eventually married into the FOREMAN, EVANS, ROARK, and SLATEN lines via the BUCHANANs. 5) WASHINGTON MARION BROWN married in 1866 MARGARET ANN RAYBORN (b. 1847). Margaret Ann was the daughter of THOMAS J. RAYBORN (1804-1873) and MALVINA HUDSON (1813-1879). Thomas & Malvina were married in 1826 and had the following children in addition to Margaret Ann: Mary Elizabeth; Travis; Amanda M.; Henrietta; George Thomas; Galen E.; Andrew J.; Nancy; Robert Franklin; Lucy Ann; Sophia; Alexander . Related names are: ALDRIDGE, COLE, PRINCE, LAY, SEARS, ANDERSON, & ??DENHAM. This line is eligible for DAR via the ALDRIDGEs. It also interconnects to the BUCHANAN lines above. The HUDSON Family Assn. and the ARLEDGE/ALDRICH/ALDRIDGE list (not on rootsweb; contact me for email address if this is your line) have rather extensive info on some of these lines. NANCY HUDSON (Malvina's sister) is my ancestor. IF ANY OF THESE are your line(s), please let me know ( jtwiswall@earthlink.NET) and I'll see is I have any other related info or sources that might help you.

This is research I found last year when in St Clair Co., IL. I DO NOT KNOW THESE PEOPLE. I AM ONLY REPORTING WHAT I FOUND. Wm G. Brown was born in Prince Edwards Co., VA and emigrated to KY. His first wife Martha was born in 1779 in North Carolina. Wm. G. Brown homesteaded property in Engelmann Township, St. Clair Co., IL. in 1816 when he & his family arrived from Kentucky. Wm. G. Brown called the property his plantation 'Long Point'. In 1826 he was elected as a member of legislature. He was active in organizing Volunteers for the Black Hawk War. This is a brief excerpt from page 218 of a St. Clair CGSQ#4. It says the abstract for his property contains additional information about the Brown family. If anyone is interested in this: contact Martha Mae Schmidt. an inventory was made 12 Nov 1989 by Marvin Dickhaut, Elsa E. & Martha Mae Schmidt.

Hi Rita, Brown list, Hardin list and Nelson list: The Mullens sent me this information during the summer; however, I did not have time then to post it. The History of Coles County, Illinois, 1879, pp. 638-9. Has had two reprints: 1969 and 1999 and you can buy it from Coles Co. Gen. Society. BROWN BROS., RICHARD AND DANIEL, farming, stock and road grading and ditching; P. O. Humbolt; are natives of Nelson and Hardin Cos., KY; they were born Dec. 22, 1826, and July 22, (sic) 1832, respectively. They were born on the farm, and have always followed farming; they lived in Kentucky until the fall of 1854, when they came to Illinois, and settled about ten miles south of Charleston, where they lived about three months; they then moved on the Springfield road, in Douglas Co., where they lived one year, when in 1856, they came to the present place, and have lived here since. With the exception of a term as Assessor by Richard, they have held no office, except connected with the school and road. Richard Brown married Miss Elizabeth Morrison, of Kentucky, Sept 23, 1852; she died Nov. 7, 1860. They had five children, two living, viz, Sally Ann and Mary Jane.

Many on the BROWN list have discussed coats of arms and family crests. The following info from the Society of Genealogists in London in Information Leaflet No. 15 should be of interest and help. I recommend you expand to full screen prior to viewing. George W. Page _____________ The right to arms Surprisingly few people who use a coat of arms and crest today have any actual right to do so. Armorial bearings do not appertain to all persons of a given surname but belong to and identify members of one particular family. Coats of arms and crests are a form of property and may rightfully be used only by the male-line descendants of the individual to whom they were first granted or allowed. Such grants were and are made by the appropriate heraldic authority acting under the sovereign. These authorities are: (for England, Wales and Northern Ireland) the College of Arms, Queen Victoria Street, London EC4V 4BT, and (for Scotland) the Lyon Office, New Register House, Edinburgh EH1 3YT. In the Republic of Eire, the relevant official is the Chief Herald of Ireland, Genealogical Office, 2 Kildare Street, Dublin 2, Eire. In order to discover whether an inherited right to arms exists, it is necessary to trace one's male-line ancestry back as far as possible and then to examine the official records of the heraldic authority concerned. Unfortunately, over the centuries, many families have simply assumed arms and crests belonging to other families of the same name, usually without authority and without demonstrating any relationship between the families. It follows that mere usage of a coat of arms, even over a long period, does not necessarily indicate a descent from the family for whom it was first recorded. Indeed, more often than not, there is no such connection. Even in the days when a tax was levied on the use of armorial bearings, those paying the tax by no means always had an established right to arms. The erroneous and widespread practice of adopting the arms of a family of the same surname (extracted in most cases from one of the printed armorials listing the arms of families alphabetically) is much to be deplored. It detracts from the basic purpose of coats of arms and crests, which is to provide hereditary symbols by which particular families may be identified. Grants of new arms have been made to worthy applicants, on payment of fees, since the fifteenth century. The practice continues to this day, and in addition grants of honorary arms are occasionally made to foreign citizens of British male-line descent. There is no complete printed list of families granted arms in England prior to 1687 but an index of many surviving grants from that early period will be found in Grantees of Arms (Harleian Society, vol. 66, 1915). For the period 1687-1898 the great majority of persons to whom grants of arms were made are listed in Grantees of Arms II (Harleian Society, vols. 67 & 68, 1916-17). These do not describe the arms granted. Records of original grants are kept at the College of Arms, though the reason for a particular grant and the rationale behind a design of arms are not normally recorded. The majority of families using arms in the period 1530-1687 established their heraldic rights at the Visitations made by heralds from the College of Arms who toured the country at intervals for that purpose. The office copies of pedigrees recorded at Visitations are at the College of Arms. Many of them have been printed, often from unofficial (and sometimes inaccurate) copies in the Harleian Manuscripts preserved at the British Library. References to printed pedigrees of Visitation families will be found in G W Marshall, The Genealogist's Guide (1903), J B Whitmore, A Genealogical Guide (1953), and G B Barrow, The Genealogist's Guide (1977). All three works need to be consulted. In the years since 1687, many pedigrees have been officially registered at the College of Arms, sometimes in order to establish a right to arms by descent and sometimes for purely genealogical interest. The best known published armorial is Sir Bernard Burke's General Armory (last edition 1884), which lists families in alphabetical order and describes the arms they used. It is unofficial, incomplete and often inaccurate; though a useful general guide it should be used with the greatest care. A W Morant's additions and corrections to Burke's list are to be found, edited and augmented by C R Humphery-Smith, in General Armory Two (1973). It may also be instructive to consult earlier works such as William Berry, Encyclopaedia Heraldica (4 vols. 1828-40), and the armory in Joseph Edmondson, A Complete Body of Heraldry (1780), vol. 2. Many families with an established right to arms in the period 1890-1929 are detailed in the various editions of A C Fox-Davies, Armorial Families (last edition 1929). The formal description or 'blazoning' of a coat of arms proceeds along certain well defined lines, and an unknown coat of arms on a signet ring or monument, for example, may be identified by using an 'ordinary', which indexes arms by design and gives the names of families to whom they have been attributed. The best known of these is J W Papworth, Ordinary of British Armorials (1874), but a knowledge of heraldic terminology is needed to consult it, and it is not in any case a complete index of British coats of arms. Many crests may be similarly identified from the series of plates in James Fairbairn, Book of Crests (4th edition, 2 vols. 1905). A more extensive collection of manuscript volumes at the College of Arms, known as Garter's Ordinaries, enables the heralds to check whether any coat of arms or crest is to be found in their official records. The Dictionary of British Arms - Medieval Ordinary (Vol.1 1992, Vol.2 1996) edited by T Woodcock et al. are the first volumes of a project to revise Papworth's Ordinary by concentrating on pre-visitation arms recorded prior to 1530, and with the addition of sources and name index; thus acting as a combined ordinary and armorial. Mottoes are often associated with heraldic devices and may provide a useful clue in the identification of arms. However, there is no monopoly on the use of a particular motto, and the same motto may therefore be used by many different families. Numerous mottoes are listed and identified (and foreign ones translated) in C N Elvin, A Handbook of Mottoes (1860, revised edition 1971). Indexes of mottoes also appear in the Burke and Fairbairn volumes mentioned above. The regulation of Scottish heraldry differs considerably from the system in England, and all persons using arms are required to register or 'matriculate' their right to arms in the Court of Lord Lyon King of Arms. No Visitations were made in Scotland, and the records of grants and matriculations of arms commence only in 1672. The shields of arms (but not the crests) are all listed for the period 1672-1973 in Sir James Balfour Paul, An Ordinary of Arms contained in the Public Register of all Arms and Bearings in Scotland (2 vols. 1903 and 1977). The wrongful assumption of arms in Scotland is punishable by fine and imprisonment. An Ulster King of Arms was first appointed in 1552, and records of grants in Ireland exist from that date. Heraldic jurisdiction over Northern Ireland was transferred to the College of Arms in 1943, the office of Ulster King of Arms being joined to that of Norroy King of Arms. In the Republic of Ireland, an official Genealogical Office was established in Dublin, with the Chief Herald of Ireland at its head, and his authority is the primary one in Eire. Photocopies of the old records of Ulster King of Arms are deposited in the College of Arms, the originals being retained by the Chief Herald. Those of Scottish and Irish origin living abroad should apply to the appropriate office for information about grants and registrations. In Edinburgh and Dublin the records are open for public inspection, and personal searches can be made. In England, the College of Arms is unsupported from public funds and access to its records (described in A R Wagner, The Records and Collections of the College of Arms, 1952) is therefore limited. However, the heralds do undertake searches in the records on payment of professional fees, and if an enquirer wishes to consult a particular manuscript appropriate arrangements can be made. Enquiries should be addressed in the first instance to any individual herald or to the Officer in Waiting, College of Arms, Queen Victoria Street, London EC4V 4BT. The College of Arms is open for enquiries between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday to Friday.
