Mike, Thank you so much for the list of Jack BROWN's children. That explains who Amanda Elizabeth BROWN was who married Malachi GARTON. Incidentally, I have her down as Malachi's (Maliki) second wife. Now, the question is who is Alex GARTON? I can't find him anywhere in my database. Can any of the GARTON researchers on the Zacharia branch help me out here? I'd like to get it straight for the record. The big question remains, are these BROWNs in Dickson Co., TN the same family as the John BROWN of Augusta Co., VA, who married Frances Dickinson GARTON (Elijah's widow), and whose son John BROWN Jr. went to Todd (Christian) Co., KY? I feel like I'm making some progress, especially since I discovered the connection of the GARTONs to my husband's GILBERTs in your line, but any help on this BROWN family from other BROWNs and GARTONs would be appreciated. Thanks again, Mike, for your help. Gail
