Does anyone know anything about a Elija Brown and family that was found on the 1850 Lauderdale Co., AL census? He is 40 years old. Also listed is Eliza (21 yrs ), Samuel (19 yrs), Elizabeth (13 yrs), Rufus (9 yrs), and Newton (5 yrs). This census shows everyone born in TN except Newton and he was born in AL. I have reason to believe that this Elija could be my g-g-grandfather and Newton could be my g-grandfather although I had previously believed that Newton and his parents were born in MS. Mike Chapman
