Checked 1880 census for Rebecca BROWN in SC, and found this woman who might be the age you are looking for??? This may not be the same woman, but thought I would send it just in case. Loads of Thomas BROWNS but none in the right area.

Would your Newton be old enough to have had a son born in 1838 or so??? Don't know that this will help, but maybe it will...

He was married to Rebecca Ward, fought in Orr's Rifles, died in Civil War of disease. I don't know where he moved to Oconee from, and would appreciate any info anyone has on Newton or Rebecca. They were my gggrandparents. They had three children that I know of: Manda, Thomas A. and another boy I believe. Thank you!
