Apologies to the LAWS list for my inadvertent reply to whole list. However, I do need to advise the whole list of an exciting new development. The Millenium Law CD is just about ready for distribution. For all of you who have been asking Merril Law (Pionerlaw@aol.com) for a copy of his book "The Laws of the Land" through the years, that is now on the CD. In addition, Fran Law Roberts (robertsfl@brandons.net) has a new book called Laws Across America that is a great new addition for the Law genealogist's library. With the help of those two authors and others I have put both texts, several relevant LAW gedcom files, and a few other things onto a CD. It should be ready for distribution by the end of March. Anyone interested may contact me, Merril or Fran for more information. Tony Wood Aguirre Engineers, Inc. 13276 E.

Looking for information about John Law who married Mary Ann FLEMING in Ballymoney area about 1870 of Antrim. He was a farmer. His descendants still live in that area. His son Charles emigrated to New York at the beginning of the 20th century. His middle name was Bonar which is another puzzle because he and Bonar :LAW were contemporaries.

I guess Nettye told you I haven't touched this stuff in years. I have some stuff stored away for now, but i do have a notebook to refer to, albeit somewhat out of date in some areas. But here goes.... Missy Lehman (1977) & Michelle Brown (1980), my daughters Frank W. Brown Jr. (me) (1953) m. Marcey Hornbucke Frank Wilson Brown (my dad) (1916) m. Lillie Couch James Norman Brown (1883 in Dickson) m. Georgenia Arantz James Frank Brown (1852 in Dickson) m. Ladocia White Aquilla Brown (1829 in Dickson) m. Martha Clardy John Brown, Esquire (about 1800 in Va. or Ga) m. Peggy Laws John Brown (about 1760-70, died about 1850 in Dickson) m. Patty (martha) Gilbert Family legend has it that John and two brothers came to America stowed away on a ship from Wales. I've tried to check this out, but, of course, if they were stowaways, it's unlikely there's any record. Otherwise, it's almost impossible to trace down a "John Brown" in the 1700's. There are several, but I have nothing to go by. My best guess is that the family came south from Virginia into Georgia near Elberton, Ga. (i think!). I don't have that documented, but apparently that was common route around the mountains. The family then moved west to Dickson. If they were part of a revolutionary war land grant, or vying for land in the Georgia land lotteries, i don't know, but those are possiblities. Peggy Laws father's name apparently was Aaron Laws, and her mom's name was Feraby. There is documentation of the auction of Aaron Laws' estate. He died in 1825 in Dickson and people purchasing items at his auction included Gilberts, Laws and a John Brown. Feraby apparently bought a lot of items (could have been wife or daughter) (Tape Di-22, page 137 in nashville archives) A fella named Tony England in White Bluff, Tenn., near Dickson is apparenlty related to us somehow. He has information on some of this stuff. >From what i've found, the 1850 census indicates a Esquire was born in Georgia. Goodspeed's History indicates the family moved to Dickson in the 1790s from S.C. This actually would place them in Dickson before 1800. But the 1860 census says he was born in Virginia. (sometimes the head of the family would leave the family behind and claim land, then return, so that might be what happened here). The Census does not list a wife, meaning Miss Laws died before 1850. His occupation was listed as a farmer. Value of land listed at $800. Grown family members Margaret and Aquilla were still living at home in 1850. (This margaret probably was his wife Peggy Luther, half his age) On the older John Brown: Goodspeed's History of Tennessee, Dickson County, refers to John Brown of Turnbull Creek as one of the early settlers in the area in the 1790s. He settled with names such as Edward Tidwell, Samuel Sellers and Minor Bibb (all names who later intermarried with Browns). Goodspeed's indicated Brown and his neighbors came from South Carolina. A will in the Family History Center in Salt Lake City indicates he died about 1850 and that his wife was Martha. It mentions kids James, John and Solomon). Census in 1830 indicates his age was 60-70, which would put his birth 1760-70. My late great aunt Vivian Brown told me the stowaway story, saying the three brothers went separate ways after arriving in US. Port of entry unknown. On the Gilbert (Martha or Patty?) name, John Brown's will refers to his wife Martha. Goodspeed History refers to a Thomas Gilbert of Dickson County who fought in the War of 1812 (It also tells of an M. Gilbert who was killed near Charlotte, TN, in the Civil War). Patty(or Martha) Gilbert was about the same age as John Brown, according to the 1830 census. That's pretty much where i hit a dead end. The only way i could think of to trace John Brown back was to trace the family histories of the Tidwells, Bibbs, Stuarts, Whites, and Sellers to see if maybe there were records of John Brown parrellelling them. But that task was too daunting. I gave genealogy a 4-5 year run, but finally tired of too many dead ends. Perhaps i'll pick it up again some day, but not now. Yes, I've been to the Brown Cemetery in Dickson, too. Plus, there's another Cemetery there that holds many of the Browns' in-laws. I think it's Stuart Cemetery near Burns, TN. Nettye may have given you all this already. I think i've shared much of what i know with her. Good luck on your search. If you make any major breakthroughs, let me know and i'll file it away with the rest of my stuff for future generations.
