Surnames: BROWN/HOUNSHELL/ALLEY Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/XAB.2ACI/2453 Message Board Post: Am looking for information on the Brown family of Catlettsburg, Boyd County in 1850-1900 time period....Can anyone suggest books (or other research items) that might be available on that time period that list the families of that area and their family history/biographies.. I am particularly interested in Isham (born about 1792 in VA; died before 1860) and his wife Christina Hounshell Brown (born 1796 in VA and died before 1880 in Boyd County). Known children are: Isham Jr, Levisa (married Wilcox), Peter--possibly John and Louisa. They are in land records in Boyd County in 1850s and appear in first census in 1860 in Catlettsburg, Boyd County. I do not live in Boyd County area so can not check microfilm records etc. Any help would be greatly appreciated. thanking you in advance.
