tom and Lynne, I have been watching your conversation with interest. Tom, you already know I am researching BROWNs-- with little success, I might add :). what made me sit up and especially take notice was the mention you made of a child named Grover. My granddmother Sarah Elizabeth Jackson DUGGER's son was named Grover. Sarah's mother was Martha A. BROWN who married Wm. Proctor JACKSON in 1854 in Morgan Co.. Martha's mother was Catharine BROWN, have no idea what the husband's name was, but some their JACKSON childrens' names were Thomas and George and Charles. Certainly not uncommon names but perhaps it is significant? William came from England. Sadly, I can't help you in your searches though :). Carol Dugger
