Hello, I'm new to the list. My name is Lana and I have been searching for the family of James S. Brown who was b. abt 1785 in VA (probably Rockbridge Co.). He md (1) unknown, had these known children and possibly more--Joseph G., Edward Henry, Albina, Stephen Woodruff; md (2)Helen Anna Kelley probably in TN and had Michael Servitis, William Irby, Sarah, Sirena, Olive, and Keziah (female). He is known to have gone to Obion Co, TN about 1809, is found there in 1810-20-?30 census though was in McMinn County when one child was born about 1813, lived in Murray Co., GA 1840 census and moved from there in 1843 per a son's obituary to DeKalb County, AL where he died about 1876.....though I didn't find him on the 1870 census; however, he lived with Stephen on the brow of Sand Mountain in "timber land" where they might have been overlooked, esp. if they didn't want to be found. Some of his children were at Sulphur Springs in 1870 and the family was known to be millwrights, work in lumber and sawmilling, and at least 2 of his sons were Cumberland Presbyterian ministers. If anyone has run across this person, I would appreciate any help I can get. As you likely know, researching the name "Brown" is difficult to begin with, but I've been chasing this information about 25 years. I've heard family stories that James is 1/2 Cherokee Indian, but I don't really have any proof of this. There was a James Brown who went with John Ross as a delegation to the President who went to Oklahoma on the Trail of Tears and was Cherokee, but he is not mine.
