Dear List, I posted last week my brick wall so won't bore you again. Obit of my Great Grandfather James Harvey Brown in 1926 is how I was able to advance my search to IL in 1838. However I have stayed there in IL for 4 years now. Anyone with any BROWN family that lived in or near Charleston, Coles County IL in 1838 please let me know. As many of you know, I am willing and able to help with a lot of info not even pertaining to my Browns but all Browns that I find info on in IL. Carol Brown Hoskins Buffalo, Wyoming hoskins@trib.com

Hi List.. I am looking for the Father and mother of Edward Brown, b1808, unknown where. When he married and when he fought in the Mex-Amer War, he stated that he came from TN. Family lore also speaks about something 'Green', unknown whether the reference was to a town, location, river, or County. I have the marriage church notation, it states that he was 'Protestant' and his father was named 'Avery' (spelling maybe off) and that his mother was 'Maria or Mary'. I will be happy to provide the entire family list from Edward on to any relative. greg

Hello Listers, unfortunately my Brown line at this time consists on only 1 person. His name is Mark Thomas Brown (also went by M.T. Brown), born May 10, 1823 in Washington County, Tennessee. He is on the 1850 census with his wife, Mary Elizabeth (Hale) and 4 children John, Joseph, Tellema and Robert. A cousin and myself have been searching for any additional info on parents, siblings of Mark Thomas and it's about like he didn't even exist for those 27 years in between his birth and showing up on the census. If anyone can help would greatly appreciate it. Thanks, Gayle

William Brown married Jerusha Rockwell Burnham, a widow with 5 Burnham children. They probably married around 1788, perhaps in Hartford CT, perhaps in NW NY state. Wm and Jerusha had three children of their own, Acci (?), Laban (abt 1790), and John (abt 1800?). Jerusha is said to have been born in Nova Scotia and baptised in Hartford CT in 1763 and d. in Lewis Co NY 1839. Nothing is known about Acci (?). Laban m.

My Brown "brick wall" is Amos Andrews Brown, born 1780 in New Haven, CT. He migrated to Switzerland Co., IN, then Woodford Co, IL and finally to Wayne Co., IA. I believe his parents to Asa Brown and Abigail Andrews, but can't find the proof. The Jacobus books, Families of Ancient New Haven, stops with the marriage of Asa and Abigail and I can't seem to find any other source. They later moved to Freehold, Green Co. NY. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I have been searching for over 20 years! Jeanne Roland Des Moines, IA

Hi All, I am looking for information on John BROWN in Illinois son of Thomas BROWN in England. Both were born in England. John is my Great Grandfather. I have no idea of any siblings of either of these but suspect they had siblings. Thomas Brown of Hollacombe, Devon, England area. son John Shadrach who is my g grandfather married Jane MANSFIELD in Grundy County, IL, August 11, 1858. Christened April 21, 1833 to Job MANSFIELD and Mary Ann at Billesdon, Leicester, England The following are the children of John & Jane: Thomas b. August 28, 1861 Ford Co. Illinois Mary Elvira b. December 9, 1862 Ford Co. Illinois Fannie May b. January 28, 1867 Grundy Co. Illinois Elizabeth Bell b. March 16, 1869 Grundy C. Illinois Charles b. September 20, 1873 Ford C. Illinois The family moved to Smith County Kansas in approximately 1874 and latr to Nebraska. I also suspicion that John was married when he moved to US but not sure of that. The IGI lists John Shadrach BROWN as being born to a Thomas BROWN and Christened November 16, 1815 at Hollacombe, Devon, England. He appears in the 1841 census in England. He appears in the 1850 census in IL. Jane is listed in the 1850 census of Grundy County, IL. with parents Job and Mary MANSFIELD. immigrated from Billesdon, Leicester, England I do have a little more information forward on this family but nothing back and so am searching the unknowns also.

Was she a sister to Ruffin Brown? Millie is supposedly the second wife of Richmond Pearson Boone . I have found a cemetery listing for her in Bell co TX , listed as Millie Barr Boone. I have no clue to the Barr surname . On the 1840 census R Boon was listed on the same page , same township as Ruffin Brown . I believe they lived on Crawleys Ridge , St. Francis co. In 1851 the Boones went to Bell county TX, listed on that census in 1860, Williamson co TX census 1870 and Kendall co TX census for 1880. William Carroll Boone son of Richmond married Caroline Brown. Artemissa Glover, granddaughter of Richmond married Richard K. Brown. Mary Belle Boone, granddaughter of Richmond married .....Brown, lived at Floresville , Wilson co TX. I know that Richard K. and Caroline Brown were brother and sister. Was the unknown Brown another brother? Also, was there a connection from them to Millie Brown? Any ideas greatly appreciated. Thanks, Pat in OK

Dear Deb from IL: You wrote to say that you are hesitant to ask for help as you do not have anything to give back. Please do not feel that way. You may not have anything to give a person who helps you in a certain area which is OK. I'm sure you have something to help others. You may be able to help someone by looking something up in your dictionary or Atlas. A quick trip to your local town hall, library or grave yard may help others. Deb Genealogy is a team sport and you are a player. All that is asked of you is for you to do your best for the team. Jim wrote; Anyone for going back to BROWN genealogy?? All these comments aren't genealogy. Geeee Jim it seems to me like sharing is genealogy. If you get your data from a library, town hall, grave yard, CD, E-mail or wherever someone is sharing their info with you. Lighten up guy. John

Hi list! Here is my line of Brown's that I know are correct. Leonard Sandford Brown b. 1837 d. 1929 m. Polly Ann Rippy b. 1842 d. 1921. They are buried at Walnut Hill Cemetery at Borden, Clark Co. IN. They were both in Clark Co. for the 1860 census unmarried living next door to each other. Leonard 21 KY is listed living with James Brown 25 KY Maria 23 IN James W. Mahouon? 15, (Mahuron) and William R. Stroud 14. On June 18,1863 Leonard married Polly and they raised their family in Borden, Clark Co. IN. Leonard was listed as a cooper in the 1880 census. Children were: John S. 16 Mariah E. 14 Nancy A. 11 Abigill 9 my ggrandmother m. Jasper C.Howell Millburn 8 Lafayette 4 Liza E. 4mos. They also had a Adeline. The census says that both of Leonard's parents were born in KY. I am unable to make a connection with the other Brown's in the census at this time. It looks like they might be related, but I don't know how yet. There is a Addison Brown and Henry G., James A. Madison G., James who look like good possibilities. Marcia

Hello All, I am looking for information on the parents of Jeremiah BROWN who lived in Fulton County, NY from 1833 to 1900. He was married to Rachel Jane FORT. The information on Jeremiah's death certificate indicates that his parents were Joel BROWN and Ada HART.

Hi, List! Here's my contribution to the roll-call. This is as far back as I have on my Brown/e lines. I am particularly interested in anyone who has info on any NICHOLAS Brown. My Nicholas (b. 1765) was a patriot in the Rev. War at a very young age. The name Nicholas is VERY common in my family on all branches, and because family lore says we're related to the Nicholas Brown who endowed Brown University in Rhode Island, I'm desperately trying to trace back before old George to see if there was a Nicholas Browne that all the subsequent descendants were named after. Everyone else in the family had either British royalty names (i.e., Edward, George, William, James, etc.) or Biblical names. So, I'm asking myself...where did the Nicholas come from (it sounds Russian)? My family is originally from England, and isn't connected with the German Braun's or the Scottish/Irish Browns. Also would love to hear from any who has info on Capt. OLIVER Brown who was famous in the Rev. War. He was born in Lexington, Mass. and finally settled in Brooke Co., Va (WV) where he died. Family lore says we're also related to him. OK, now that I've rambled long enough, here's my old George and his children. Have quite a bit of info on his descendants, so if you think there's a possible match, just send me an e-mail and I'll check to see if I have anything. Rita (Brown) Werner Taylorville, IL GEORGE BROWNE was born Abt. 1690 in England, and died Abt. 1770 in Frederick Co., MD. He married MARY STEVENSON Abt. 1714. She died Abt. 1771.

And then there are people like me-- who really don't have any information to share because they don't have any idea who the parents or any of the siblings are ; and are just hoping someone else will have them on their family tree. I've been searching for 25 years, and have yet to find a descendant of Henry Brown even though he had 12 children and I always list their names in my queries.

Roland Hanson and lived in the Chicago,IL area. They had 2 children. - Daughter(living) married & had 2 children - IL - Daughter(living) married (spouse living) & had 1 daughter - IL What makes my research so difficult, is the fact that the 9 above children were split from their parents. Don't have the time frame on this. The older ones basically fended for themselves, Alma was "given" to an unknown sister of Alma Minnie's in WA, (was told that several of Alma Minnie's relatives went to Canada but not sure) and Ruth & the 2 living daughters were sent to an orphanage. As soon as he could, my grandpa William, with the help of his wife, took the 3 girls from the orphanage and raised them along with their own children. Thankfully, all 9 children stayed in close touch with one another and eventually re-formed a relationship with their parents - Alma Minnie & William Voss. The sad thing is, none of them talked about their past. Especially about their Indian heritage on Alma Minnie's side. ("mixed-marriages" were taboo I guess). Now, the 2 living daughters are getting on in years & really don't remember too much. I really hope that this sounds familiar to someone and we could connect. Deb from IL
