Emma, I noticed some naming patterns the same as mine in the info you gave. My Brown came from GA. When? I do not know. But he was in the Civil War, and in Mobile AL at that time. This is all I have. HENRY OLIVER BROWN b 12/26/1941(no birth place given) d 11/23/1927 in Mobile AL He married JULIA ALEXANDER b 1/10/1851 d 7/26/1940 Children of Henry O. BROWN & Julia ALEXANDER were: 1. Maggie Brown married Joseph F. AVERYT on 8/8/1900 2. Delta Brown married John Henry DAVIS on 6/15/1916 3. Emma Brown married William E. LOCKLER on 6/6/1900 4. Mary Elizabeth b 2/24/1876 Mobile AL d 7/10/1954 married C.C. GRIFFIN on 1/11/1893 5. Henry Oliver Brown, Jr. Mary Elizabeth BROWN & C. C. GRIFFIN married 1/11/1893 their children were: 1. Leo 2. Myrtle 3. Emma 4. Mable 5. Julia Estelle I had always been told that a lot of girls in this family. And that MAGGIE, EMMA, and MARY ELIZABETH were names passed down. But I believe that no one used the name of Emma after she died before 1910 ... I believe she was 5 years old. My grandmother gave me her sister's gold baby ring, with EMMA written on it. I have always regretted not naming one of my girls this also. The name JULIA was used alot, but it came down through the ALEXANDER line, my grandmother said. My grandmother said the GRIFFIN's were Irish. And the BROWN's were Scotch-Irish (she blamed this for her temper!) And TWIN births did tend to "run in the family" of BROWN. (I have twin grandbabies now). Any more BROWN TWINS out there? This could be something to look for. All my BROWN's (as are my TAYLOR's and GRIFFIN's also) are so elusive, I am beyond the point of "evidence" and records! ... I am reduced to even looking for tid bits in "naming patterns" & twins!!! And of course I am not getting any younger. I need to get everything down that I can find, now... before I find out the answers first hand! Because then if anyone wants to find out what I learned after crossin' over, they will have to ask John Edwards! ha!
