This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Brown, Gwinn, Sumeral Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/YeB.2ACI/578 Message Board Post: Told his name may have been James Columbus Brown and was supposed to be from Indian background. He married Parthenia Gwinn and had a daughter Lula Brown. Who was his father and mother? Where was he from? Was he of Induan background and if so, what tribe? This is husband's side of family and his aunt who lived in Clinton had it researched but she is now dead and house burned with records and all lost. Any help appreciated.
