Surnames: Brown McKinney O'Neal Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/Jh.2ADI/1313 Message Board Post: Two Brown families are buried in Mt. Zion cemetery. One is the Thomas A. Brown and Susanna McKinney family. The others are supposedly the descendants of another Thomas A. Brown and wife Mary O'Neal. I found that the government prosecuted a case against Joseph H. Powell, Elisha Brown, and Sandy M. Brown in 1879. I found this in an index and no nothing else about the case. Elisha Brown (b. 1840) was the son of the Thomas A. Brown and Mary O'Neal. Sandy (b. 1829) was the son of the other Thomas and Susanna McKinney. I know that the two Thomas A. Browns were not the same man. Thomas and Susanna are buried in Mt. Zion Cemetery and the other Thomas and wife are supposedly buried in Shiloh Cemetery. I find it interesting that Elisha and Sandy were associated in a court case. Might there be a family connection between the two Thomas Browns? I know about the family of Thomas married to Susanna -- I know his father and have a suspected grandfather's name. Does anyone know ! about the other Thomas' family? Would anyone want to look up the court case (Box 94 file 7) in county records?
