Hi Ken, I have 3 different Brown lines (at least I haven't been able to connect them) 1. Mary Brown who married Jeremiah Claypool circa 1798- no further info on her. 2. Mary Brown who married Jonas Sparks (Her father was Johan Braun = John Brown ~German Descent) 3. James Frank Brown who married Martha H. Sparks - I thought he was of German descent from Johan Braun, but now I have been told by others that he may have been Irish. Not sure of that one. James Frank was born 1850 in North Carolina. I welcome any and all clues. Thanks!

Some records were destroyed in the Civil War, but also, the farther back we go in the USA, the sketchier the records get. Remember that there wasn't even a national census until 1790. Tax records and the like don't tend to include much information, and not everybody left a will. I assume my Browns were from England or Scotland, but I just haven't been able to find any information to tell me more about their origins. Wish I could! My first documented Brown, by the way, was John Brown, who married Sarah Gist (d/o Joshua Gist) in 1793 in Jefferson County, Tennessee. I don't know where he was before Tennessee--perhaps just over the line in Greene County, North Carolina, where the Gists were. John Brown is just too common a name!

Hi American Browns, My Browns came to the USA in 1828 from Alsace, France.  They traveled through Penn. to Ohio.  From there some went to Wisconsin and one went to Kingman Kansas.  I was lucky to find where they came from in Alsace from the port in France.  From there I have been able to rent films from LDS for Seltz, Alsace and have been able to track them through the late 1600's.  I even was able to get an inventory of my Paulus Braun from 1822 which was 17 pages long! I am still researching them and continue to find more and more. Thanks, Ken and Alice for the posting.

It is a bit disappointing though, for me at any rate, who is not an American Brown, on how few  postings there are on where the American Brown families originated. In other words the U.K. which in most cases I would imagine would cover where the majority of American Browns came from. Do you American Brown's use a different forum than this one for those enquiries? Is there a lack of recorded information for the general run of American Brown's on where their first ancestor who landed on American shores came from?  The country in the U.K., the Shire, the town, village or farm? In my own case, I live in Australia,  my father was a Scot and on the paper trail for my Brown's in Ayrshire, Scotland I am back to 1510, courtesy of great Scottish record keeping. As far as DNA is concerned I have very close Y-DNA matches with two American Brown's but they have no idea of where their ancestors came from as they only go back to the 1800's on the paper trail. I have an extensive database of my Brown's from the parishes of Sorn and Galston in East Ayrshire Scotland that may be of interest for American Brown's who hailed from this area of Scotland. But I would enjoy  seeing some postings from American Brown's searching their deeper roots in the U.K.. Surely there are some Scottish Brown's over there? Come on let's hear from you!

Hi List.. Found out that the Brown we are researching was born in Kentucky, 1808. Unknown what area. Unknown if he lived in Kentucky until he came to Texas in 1836 or had moved to Tn. His name was Edward, father was Avery, mother was Mary. The spelling on the fathers name is questionable, it could be with an "E". Any one seen or have info on the above names, please contact me on the list or off the list. tia greg

If I can locate a direct-linear descendant of Alexander BROWN, who still carries the BROWN surname, I will pass the original along to them. I have had the document mounted and framed utilizing acid-free materials and UV protected glass to slow the aging process. Alexander BROWN (senior) in the document is my 2gGrandfather.

I have an Alexander Brown b. 1837-8 GA. The only place I have found him to date is on the 1870 Alachua Co. FL census. His wife was Augusta b. 1840 GA. Children: Jackson C., Albert, Susan, Minny, Harriet. Alex was my gg-grandfather and Jackson was my great grandfather. Would your family tree fit mine?
