I'm trying to connect the Hanes and Brown families. On pg. 177 of the 1840 Hall Co., GA census appears James Haynes, next door is a Mr. Ingram, next is Isaac Haynes, then John Haynes and William Haynes. I believe John and William Hanes/Haynes to be brothers. They remain in Hall Co. for the 1850 census and are both in Randolph Co., AL for the 1860 census. 1870 & 1880 both find them in Cleburne Co., AL. John's son John Wesley Hanes married Margaret Brown 7-20-1852 in Hall Co. There was a marriage for a William L. Brown to Franey Hanes 2-5-1854. I believe Franey was a daughter of William Hanes. Were Margaret Brown and William L. Brown siblings? Were they children of Stephen Brown? Stephen had a female M. and a male W. in the household in 1850 Hall Co. Thank you for any assistance on these families. Terry Jackson
