Patti: The family of Amos Brown is connected with my Garrett lines, so I have researched them. If you wish detail, e-mail me privately. Amos Brown, b. 14 Aug 1817, md. 22 Jun 1839 Warren Co., VA, Mary Ann Ramey, daughter of John. Amos was son of Joseph and Sarah (Edmonds) (Sherrer/Shires) Brown. Sarah's first husband was Robt Sherrer, who died in the War of 1812. Sarah was daughter of Daniel Edmonds, who served in the Rev. War. Daniel's father, Daniel Edmonds, also served in the Rev War. Census records state that Joseph Brown was born in New Jersey. I believe, but cannot prove, that Joseph was a brother of an older Amos Brown and of Theodocia Brown who md. a Grove and of a Jesse Brown who md. a daughter of John Hawley. I believe their father was an Amos Brown who appeared in Shenandoah Co tax records. I can't prove this. Warren Co VA was carved out of parts of Shenandoah & Frederick Co., VA. I have a file in Word Perfect 5.1 on this Brown family, which can be read by Works. I can also convert it into ASCII. If anybody wishes me to send this file to you privately via e-mail attachment, let me know. I have several connections to this family. My ancestors Alexander C. Mills & Matilda Garrett, daughter of David, were married 15 Jan 1834 (date of marriage bond) in Frederick Co., VA. Bondsman was James Shires. On the same date James Shires md. Elizabeth Garrett, Matilda's sister. Bondsman was Alexander C. Mills. James was the only son of Robert & Sarah (Edmonds) Sherrer. David Garrett's son, Alfred Garrett, had a son Newman Garrett who md. Mary Brown, daughter of Amos & Mary (Ramey) Brown. David's son, Joseph Garrett, md. Elizabeth Brown, oldest child of Joseph & Sarah (Edmonds)(Sherrer) Brown.
