This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: BROWN, JOHNSON, RAGAN Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/0hB.2ACI/565 Message Board Post: I am a descendant of Ervin/Erwin BROWN and Parthena JOHNSON through their son Richard and his wife Elizabeth RAGAN. Ervin was born in NC about 1813 or 1822 and Richard was probably born in Maury Co., TN in 1842. Does anyone know who the parents of Ervin were? I am also trying to contact these other Maury Co. BROWN researchers who have apparently changed their email addresses: Elaine Warren elainewarren@cpws.net Gail Kincaid gkincaid@bellsouth.net Any help would be appreciated.
