William Thomas Brown, my Grandfather, listed on a couple of documents that his father was Jim Brown and Ermina McKinney. b-11/14/1889. His birthplace was Powder Mills, Kentucky in Hart County. Kentucky has no record of birth. I have found an Ermina M. McKinney bought land east of Tallahassee Fl. meridian in Osceoi County 04/28/1890. (I think this should be Osceola County, FL) Per the paper work she was from Centre County, PA! But, I do not know if this is my Ermina. My father met two relatives. Ellen went for a visit in Decatur, Illinois when my father was little. Dwayne or Dwight (spelling?) went to look for work in Decatur, Illinois during the Depression Years.
