Happy Sunday ! I have posted this before to different lists and forums .....so if you have seen it , please, just delete. I thought I'd try again in the New Year. Thanks , Pat ~~~~~~~~~~ I have a tangled mess of Boones and Browns, not sure exactly if they all come from the same family . I will start with my 3rd GGF Richmond Pearson Boone. Richmond Pearson Boone b in Barren co KY 1803, said to have been a son of John Boon, who in turn was the son of Jonathan Boon, an older brother of Daniel Boone , frontiersman. Richmond married in KY, perhaps Edmundson co by 1825. A researcher , Dan Boone of Pleasanton, TX said his first wife was Jane Riley. The first I found on Richmond was in 1838 St. Francis co AR tax list. He went by the spelling Boon on that list and the 1840 St Francis co census, but on the 1850 same county census, he had added an E. Dan Boone said he married a Millie Brown in the mid 1840's in St Francis co. Millie being born in NC ca 1806. I have searched the census for 1840 St Francis co and I found only one Brown, Ruffin 30- 40 yrs of age with three children (all males), no wife. Perhaps Ruffin was a brother to Millie. 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. He died in 1887 Kendall co, but is buried beside Millie in the Boone-Hamlin cemetery, Youngsport, Bell co TX. William Carroll Boone son of Richmond married Caroline Brown, Bell co, TX Artemissa Glover, granddaughter of Richmond married Richard K. Brown, Bell co TX 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
