Hello Deborah, I don't find any members of the CHISM family shown in the Jackson County Ranger Book, which just means that they didn't report finding any stray animals. I do, however, find several BROWN family members listed, but not Zachariah. The Browns are shown below. Let me know if you want the information on any or all of them. 1. Thomas Brown, 2 entries 2. John Brown, 2 entries 3. Daniel Brown 4. Andrew Brown, 4 entries 5. Herman Brown 6. Dudley Brown 6. Jerama Brown 7. Dixon Brown There are also some ROBINSON family members listed. They are as follows: 1. Walter Robinson 2. Edward Robinson If any of these are of interest to you, just let me know. Thanks for being part of the ROOTWALKER family. Sincerely, Stan Magnesen ~~~~~~~~~~~~ In a message dated 4/30/01 6:22:09 AM Pacific Daylight Time, debjorg@juno.com writes: > Subj: [ROOTWALKER] Re: TN-ROOTWALKER-D Digest V01 #93-Jackson Co.
