I would like to commend those of you who share your data. As a certified genealogical researcher for over 30 years, I have experienced many such stories of those who take, and do not give, but FAR MORE who will give-up YEARS of info for the asking. I would also like to remind THOSE who DO NOT share, that is the very reason WHY we can't connect all the BROWNS!!! :-) I challenge everyone to POST one of your most significant FINDS and see if we can BRIDGE some gaps! I will be making my own contribution under separate post entitled BROWN CRESTS.

Here's my Brown information (again), and welcome to it! I would LOVE to make a connection with some other Browns. Nathaniel G. Brown - b. ca 1802 in Tennessee, don't know what county, don't know names of parents - m. ca 1823 in Tennessee (probably Bedford County) Alice (Alcy) Anglin, d/o Adrian Anglin Sr. - in 1830, listed on census in Bedford County, TN - in 1840, listed on census in Rives County, MO - in 1850, listed on census in Henry County, MO (Rives County changed to Henry and St. Clair Counties, so the county changed, he didn't) - died in late 1858 or early 1859 in Henry County Children: - Susan Brown, b. TN ca 1824, m. William Foster - John P. Brown, b. TN ca 1826, m. Jane Parks - Peyton Brown, b. TN ca 1831, m. Susan E. Parks - Nathaniel Brown, Jr., b. TN ca 1833, m. Areander Graham (my ggggrandparents) - Thomas B. Brown, b. Mo ca 1840, m.
