I finally got the info I requested out of Jackson, Amador Co., CA today. NOT our James Brown. The newspaper, Amador Dispatch mentioned this brief note which later was published in the Sacramento Bee on the 10th of May 1870. "DIED---In Jackson, May 5th, 1870, James T. Brown, aged about 30 years. [The funeral will take place to-day (Saturday) at 2 o'clock P. M.]" Also the Amador County Library sent me a 1860 Census page which includes (they think) the same James Brown. 1st of June 1860 Township No 2nd.No page number listed but it was numbered by families. Family #1. Clark, G. B. 27, m. Farmer, $5000/Real Estate, $1150/Personal Estate. born Vermont. Brown J. 25, m. Laborer born Indiana. next house was unoccupied. #2. Chubb, H. W. 20 OH #3.
