Brenda: At first glance thought I might have found my Thomas BROWN, my grandfather, but not so. Thomas was a frequent BROWN name and without a middle initial, it is hard to identify them. My Thomas was born in tn - where I don't know - but he lived in Lincoln County when he married Parthenia Baites. His middle initial was "W". There was a Thomas O. in Lincoln County at the same time, they were near the same age, he he married a Baites, also. I am led to believe they may have been cousins but I can find nothing about my grandfather's parents or siblings. I have posted a couple of times with no results, so, please, if anyone reads this and has ANYTHING to offer that might help me, I would appreciate it. There was a Thomas from Lincoln County in theCivil War (no initial). He enlisted in the Mulberry community. Does this help? Nolene
