John Brown was last found in the 1850 US Federal Census for Pettis Co., Missouri. He was born 1820 in North Carolina. I believe he died around 1852 in the same place. Nancy probably remarried as she would have been around 20 something when he died with four kids; Sarah Elizabeth, James A. Brown, Sarilda Ann (great great great grandmother), and Mary Ann. Would appreciate any help that can be given on any of these people and will help whoever thinks that there could be a connection.
