I do not know who his wife was, but I do have all of his children. I am descended through his son, Albert Gallatin BROWN. Fannie BROWN (#11) is my grandmother. Is there any chance we have a connection? I have listed my BROWN file below. Looking forward to hearing from you! Laura Darr DESCENDANTS OF LEWIS BROWN Generation No. 1 1.
