Hi to all, Here is my Brown, for the rool call you had while I was off line.. Sure missed a lot of letters.. Elijah was born in NC in 1804, acording to the census. I find him in Madison Al in 1830, along with another male about his age, that I think might be a brother. His wife Mazilla who is born in TN and a Daughter born in Al in the late 1820's. They move to Marshell Co. where they buy land and stay untill the Late/mid 1850's, when they go to Ark. In 1860 Elijah is listed in Randolph Co. and has died. there are several pieces of land owned by Elijah's but that makes it ahrd to know for sure which is his.. Family shows up in Christian twp, Independence Co after his death. (there are other Brown's inthis co. including another Elijah, or else something is haywire) One of Elijah's son's Christopher Columbus marries Rhoda COFFMAN and on her father's (will)court papers, a Elijah (maybe a P.) BROWN signs. Problem is my Elijah is suppose to be dead for a few yrs. WHO is this 2nd Elijah?? There is also another James BROWN about the same age as Elijah's sone James L. who becomes aa Rev. of the Baptist church, Stays in Ark and has several children. He has 2 marriages, the first to the daughter of Rev. CROW. (I am having to use my memory so won't get all names down of the children or 2nd wife) He has son #1 William E. married Burt Sherif, taught school in OKLA, 2 children,James Arthur and Athealea, #2 James C. who married Maud SHARP,3 children Robert, William, and Mary Hester, lived in ARK. #3 daughter Marie married Louis Fleschner and they lived in Little Rock, #4 Mauda Lee who works for Gov. in Washington, DC in the 1920's -30's.#5 Lenore, #6 Myrtle who married T.J. JAMES, died young and left 3 children Jeff, Paul, & Phillip. #7 Charles Spurgeon Brown died 1918 no children #8 DR.Harvey Holman BROWN married Alice LUCAS, 2 daughters for them, lived in Ark. Elijah's son Christopher Columbus, married a 2nd time and moved to Tx. # children Brinkley Boswell, (my Grandfather) James, and Rhoda. E's son - Nymrod did not show up in Ark. ? no records found. A daughter Frances did not show up either but ahve not found a marriage record for her either. SHe was old enough to have married. Nymrod was really to young to think of him going off on his own but possible. More likely he died in teens. ? where or when. Another son Leonadeas ? spelling married 2 times in Ark and had 2 son's, one was William, and the other Rufus, I think, Know it was R, pretty sure this is correct. Elijah had some daughters too, but can't remember the info.. Thank you for reading this, hoping someone might be able to add something!!!
