Our William Thomas Brown son of James & Kizziah (PETERSON) Brown was born 2 March 1844 some place in IL. he died 17 May 1871 in Castoria, San Joaquin Co., CA. married Maggie Findley in CA and they had two children that I know of, Bill Brown b. abt 1866 and Clara Belle. We show no idea of descendants. This is the only son of James and Kizziah Brown 8 sons that I don't have a picture of. The similarity of names is the only reason I am posting this. I have no info to help you on your IL Browns at this time.
