This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Brown, Patton, Stephenson Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/BMB.2ACE/1222 Message Board Post: The Brown household consisted of the following persons: John Brown, age 35, farmer, born in Tennessee Sarah Brown, age 23, housekeeping, born in Missouri Charles Brown, age 3, born in Missouri The next household was as follows: William Patton, age 22, farm laborer, born in Missouri My gr-grandfather, Charles Patton Brown, was supposedly born ca. 1854, in Missouri. His parents were rumored to be Jacob/John & Sarah Brown. It appears to me that Sarah Brown & William Patton may have been siblings and possibly my gr-grandfather received the middle name of Patton from Sarah Patton Brown. Does anyone have any information on these 2 households? Charles Patton Brown died in 1936, but no proof of his parents' names or whether he had any siblings was found. Charles Brown married America ( Addie ) Stephenson in Nodaway County, ca. 1881. I would certainly appreciate any information on the above people. Thank you, Dennis
