I have not seen that name so far. In faact, you will find that there is another set of brown's in the area. My group is connected to William Billings, their step father, but the children kept their real father's name (fortunately). If you haven't yet, look in the Baton Rouge Dioceces records and you should be able to find your line if they were catholic or married a catholic. I don't have access tot hem, but a trip to Baton Rouge or New Orleans would do you very well. The records are in regular libraries in those cities.
