Johnny Bob Beaird, Have you looked at 1860 Carroll County, IL census page 1006 York township at ancestry.com there is a listing for Jehu Brown. It might give you a clue if you haven't seen it. The only other info I have on this family is what was sent to me last year and almost word for word what you sent yesterday and today. I am sorry but I will keep the info in mind. I do know that there was a James Brown in Macoupin Co., IL on the 1840 census 1 male (20-30) and 1 female (20-30). Maybe a connection to your Brown. Carol Brown Hoskins Buffalo, WY hoskins@trib.com
