Hi Jeanne. I don't know anything about my Browns yet. I am looking for prior to 1865, so you've got me beat by many generations! <big grin>. However, there are some wonderful researchers, very serious ones, on the Ga Roots list. I am copying that list for you on your Brummetts. If you run across who the parents might have been, a Col. Wm. M. Brown from Marion County, GA, would you let me know? Thank you. I'm sorry that I couldn't have been more help.
