Some of my gggrandfather's brothers spent 5-10 years in Christian County, IL and I'm wondering if someone can help me try to find records during that time period. I can't seem to find much on the internet about Christian Co. IL. I'm wondering if they were related to someone living in that area at the time or what the possible motive could have been to move from Knox Co. TN to Christian Co. IL and then on to TX. Anyone have any similar Browns or suggested theories? Here are the names and dates I have: Joseph M. Brown b. TN 1838 m. Sarah A. Coffman b. TN 1843 and children: John Houston b. 1867 TN Sarah Elizabeth b. 1868 TN A. Credelia b. 1870 Christian County IL Ida J. b. 1873 Christian County IL Robert Lafayette b. 1875 (TX? IL?) Eugene b. 1878 TX Nettie Mae b. 1880 (TX?) Joseph M. b. 1882 TX Robert L. Brown b. 1843 TN m. Mary V. Williams b. 1848 TN and children: Jessie b. 1875 Christian County IL William L. b. 1879 (TX? IL?) Mollie E. b. 1881 TX Robert A. b. 1882 TX Paul S. b. 1887 TX Pleasant A. Brown b. 1845 TN m. Martha M. Williams b. 1854 TN and children: Martha b. 1878 Christian County IL Sarah O. b. 1878 (TX? IL?) Minnie E. b. 1883 TX Pleasant b. 1886 TX Mollie b. 1907? Sebe b. 1918? Dovie b. 1917?
