Who were his children? Any information at all would help. Colleen: I am not researching Ephraim BROWN of Williamson Co TN but here is some information. Since it contains several BROWN names I am sending it to the list. From: Tennessee Tidbits 1778-1914 Vol I compiled by M.H. Fischer BROWN- 9 July 1828 Ephraim BROWN brought suit against Micha BROWN as guardian of Samuel BROWN and Charles BROWN. It was found that Micha did waste and misuse the estate of her wards and James W. GRIER was appointed guardian in her place. (WLL TN, Co Ct. Min, 10/18) BROWN, Charles- Died in 1816. In January 1801 he had made a deed of gift to his sons, Luther and Joshua, for 640 acres. Joshua died in 1803 or 1804 at the age of seven, leaving Luther, William, Elizabeth who married Jesse COX and Rebecca BROWN as his brothers and sisters. In 1815 William died while still a minor, and left Luther, Elizabeth and Rebecca and also Benjamin, Ephraim, Samuel and Charles BROWN as his only brothers and sisters. About ten days after the death of William, his sister Rebecca died, then a minor and unmarried. Luther claims two-thirds of the tract of land, one half by the deed of gift and one-sixth part by the death of his brothers and sisters, Joshua, William and Rebecca. Elizabeth COX is entitled to one-sixth and Benjamin, Ephraim, Samuel and Charles to one-twenty-fourth. Luther asked that a division be made at the April term 1823. (Wll TN, Co P&Q, 2/209) BROWN, William H.- Died before 9 July 1828 when the administrator John RILIE, was in a case. (WLL TN, Co. Ct. Min, C/10/18) There was an Ephraim BROWN who died 21 February 1854 as shown in the indictment of William CRABTREE and Isaac CRABTREE for his murder in Fentress County, TN. Robert BROWN was the prosecutor and William BROWN a witness. The case was tried in Putnam County on a change of venue. (Put TN, Cir. Ct. Min, no#/156-167)
