Surnames: Brown, Miller Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/Fd.2ADI/521 Message Board Post: Many of you were very encouraging when I first started researching the death of my gg-grandfather, Isham Brown. I have found that his murder is listed in the first vol. of the Georgia Black Book as follows (I don't have the book myself --a kind research librarian read this to me over the phone): Page 362. His murder and murderer are described as being listed in the executive minutes of Coffee County between 1893 and 1896, and his murderer is named as Ephram Miller. Date of the murder is 31 May, 1893. I really want to learn more about what exactly happened, but am stuck up here in DE. Can any of you give me a pointer as to what I should do next? Although the black book mentions Coffee County, I'm pretty sure the murder took place near Waycross. Why would they have listed it in the Coffee County minutes? Any help appreciated! (Will also post on the Coffee County board).
