My husband's father, Roy Frederick Brown, had a great deal of anger toward his father's family. He would NOT talk about them at all. Through the years we pieced together a bit of info. Some of it proved to be down right wrong. Some was OK. Most we could find no evidence of! This is what we have left of info about Roy Frederick Brown and James Frederick Brown. First of all James, b 1877 in Missippi or Alabama, went by the name of Fred Brown. He d in an accident in 1908 maybe. He was a linesman with the electric Co and touched the wrong line during a storm. He may have worked for the RR or streetcar line. We can find no death certificate or evidence in Alabama. If he worked for the RR an accident could have been anywhere. He m Hattie Aldridge in 1900. They were borders in Montgomery Alabama. They had 2 children, Roy b December 25, 1901 or 1902 and Inez Jane b1904. Hattie worked in a cotton mill to support her two children. She d at age 40 from TB. After Hatties death Roy became a Navy man. Inez married at avery young age. We don't know her married name. Hope you can help! Nancy Brown
