The developer was a John BROWN, his heirs were: Daniel, Pleasant, Thomas, James, William, John, and Elizabeth BROWN plus Polly SHERROD and Mahala THOMPSON. Madison Co Chancery Court Book 1831-1834 page 118 lists them in a lawsuit on 18 Nov 1831 against................ William Alexander SCOTT. I haven't found a final judgment of the suit yet." I think this town may exist today near Huntsville, Al. Good luck Pat Hoffman
