Hi, My name is Robert Rodgers. There is a Brown in my family history. My grandfather's (Robert Alfred Rodgers) mother was a Brown. They called her Ma Willie. I am at work right now, but I will look up the information that I have about her when I get home. They did live in Holmes County MS near Pleasant Ridge Baptist Church. If I remember correctly, she died around 1948 (I might be getting my two great- grandmother death dates mixed up). I believe she died from pneumonia. The story has it (via my father) that she was visiting a relative late one night during the winter, as she was going home she crossed through a creek. Thats how she came down with pneumonia. I have a couple of pictures of her. One holding my grandfather when he was about 1 yo; the other around 1940s with her husband Robert Calvin Rodgers. I understand she like to dip snuff. She wasn't a very big women (both weight and height). I would be intersted in finding more out. I am in school right now. I will be returning to military service at the end of August. I hope that around Oct that I can pick back up with my ancestory search. I have a lot on my mom's side; I have some on my father's side (Mostly Rodgers). My father is interested in the Brown line. My have found a connection in North-South Carolina. Our problem is to connect the two. I look forward to hearing from you again.

Hello! I, too, have Browns in my family line as well as Rodgers. I will post as soon as I have the time. I'll be delighted to 'talk' with both of you and perhaps we can share info.
