I just finished searching the microfilm on Deeds for Henry Co, and found a number of people's names, who bought land from my ggrandfather, and who witnessed the transactions. I would love to have been able to make copies of the complete deeds, but unfortunately the FHC I have access to does not have a copier, and my notes had to be made in longhand ! Since the same FHC is open only one day a week, from 2 to 6 P.M.,it necessitated several trips ( to another town ) and my notes are skimpy. However, I did try to note the page numbers, so if you find your ancestor and want to follow up on it,( the exact location ) you will have that much information. Henry Brown conveyed deeds to the following:( Vol.A Mar.1822- Oct.1826 ) 124.David LOVE, wit. * Peter LIGGON, James JONES. 222.Jul.1824 John LANDIS,200 Acres,$800,wit *.P.R.YOUNG,R.JENNINGS. 224.Jul.1824,James CAMPBELL.640A,$1200,wit.*P.R.YOUNG, R.JENNINGS. 294.Feb.1825,Peter APPERSON,287A,$743,wit*.P.R.YOUNG,???? 436. ? 1826,John NEWLAND,50Acres,wit.Samuel McCorkle,Wm.ELKINS. 452.Mar.1824,Samuel PARKER,590A,wit.*Peter LIGGIN,*P.R.YOUNG,Samuel Coskey(?) 528.Sept.1826,*Elijah FOSTER,325A,$600 ,wit.*P.R.YOUNG, ** Anna YOUNG.** 530.Sept.1826,*David FOSTER,201A,$555,wit.*Robert BROWN,*Elijah FOSTER.

Dan MAGAN. Also, these were of interest to me, and may be to others as well: *Peter LIGGON(Ligon)conveyed land to: 72.Samuel FRENCH,(Feb.1823) wit.*James JONES,James HICKS. 403.Abraham DAVIDSON,wit.Solomon WILLIAMS,Thomas SLATON. 368.*Robert YOUNG, wit.*Benjamin C.BROWN,Robert SEARCY. *William BROWN to John HAGLER,wit.HenryLIGHTFOOT,*W.R.BROWN, Samuel MEDLOCK. *Peter R.YOUNG to* Elijah FOSTER,wit*.Henry BROWN, ? Rupell ? *Elijah FOSTER to* Lewis GRAVES, wit.Wm.WADLEY,* R.L.BROWN. *Robert L. BROWN to Samuel EDNEY. *Robert DOLLAHITE to Wm.NORELL? wit.*Robert L.BROWN,Samuel WYNN. *Lewis GRAVES to Pleasant DIGGS, wit.Jno.R.CAMPBELL, John WEBB. Notes:Oct.30,1820,* J.Scott BROWN was Justice of the Peace and presiding magistrate of county court. 1831* Benjamin C. BROWN was a clerk, as was James HICKS. Other names of interest (to me)were* John BROWN,*Franklin FOSTER,*James JACKSON,* John JONES. I would like to think all of you found at least one name, or clue,even if only to verify that they were there during this time frame. Obviously (grin) I'm on a hunt for BROWNs, and their connections. Henry Brown had daughters who married men with many of these surnames: ( can you help me tie it up??) Henrietta BROWN m FOSTER (Elijah? David?Franklin?) Rilda BROWN m DOLLAHITE (Robert?) Susan BROWN m DOUGLAS Anna (Annie,Anne) BROWN m GRAVES (Lewis?) I am wondering if Anna may have been previously married to Peter R.YOUNG, who witnessed so many of these transactions, and who also witnessed one of them??? Henry's wife is said to have been Susan LIGON,whom I beleive to be a close relative to Peter LIGGON. James, Hugh, and Robert YOUNG may have been his grandchildren?(IF my assumption is correct !) I feel like I have the missing pieces to my Henry Co.ancestors, if only someone can help me get them in proper places !! Since these people were there so early in the formation of Henry Co, I beleive the Browns named here are definitely related,and came from the same place. Please help, if you have any knowledge of the starred(*) names, or anyone that intermarried with them. BTW, there was no census for Henry Co. before 1830,so this should prove helpful (I hope) Thanks for your responses, Marietta
