Louise, I'm about as certain as I let myself be that Bronough is not connected by a spelling corruption with your Baronos. I THINK that Bronough St. is named for a president (by whatever title) of an early territorial legislature of Florida soon after we finally got title on Washington's birthday of 1821. As I recall, he was associated in some way with Andrew Jackson, who was our first military governor,but I don't recall how. I don't even remember where they met (St. Augustine? Pensacola?). I'll bet Dean DeBolt knows, though. And the Florida Room of the State Library is bound to have a bio file on anybody whose name is on the street where the library lives. Wish I could say what you'd rather hear, but.... --Brian ********************************************* Louise Sullivan wrote: > > Brian, Do you know who Bronough Street in Tally was named for?
