Hi Shelley, Rex* may *be a part of my BROWN line. My great grand uncle, Richard Gibson Brown (RG), lived at Fort Kearney and died 1922 according to Wayne Herald, Wayne, NE, 15 Mar 1922, p. 7. He is buried in the family plot in Harrison Co., IA. RG was married twice: Melissa O. Chamberlain and then in 1888 to Nellie S. Thompson. RG and Melissa had 2 children that I know of: Cora L. b. 1876 and Harry G. b. 1878 d. 1909. Please let me know if no one else has a better match....but hope they do!
