Other possible siblings were Cassafira/Kasfira Brown/Norton, John Pinkney Brown/Elizabeth, Sarah Brown/Chandler, Frances Brown, Ritta A Brown, Thomas Early Brown/Abi Gunn Rhodes and Harbon/Harbod Ishmael Brown, more or less all brn in Georgia, lastly in Fayette Co GA, Sarah brn in MS. John Pickney is likely the oldest brn?? So surname "Pickney" is important? It is been stated that the parents of William Franklin Brown, the bases of my search, were Henry Brown and Dicey Waldrop, see name variances for Waldrop below? What I need would be a will or other document for a Henry Brown dth unknown, but before 1850. Mary, as in the census below was living in Fayette Co GA in 1850 with her children. She may have had two other mrgs to a Rolland Brown and lastly a William Brown?? I know that the Brown children above were all brothers and sisters, but I cannot determine if Mary "Dicey" Waldrop mrd more than once. Any help or insight would be helpful?
