    2. Jackie Johnston
    3. I am looking for information on two people that last name was BROWN. She was born in Virgina around 1810. One is Martha BROWN who married Jefferson EARP. I believe they were married in Bedford County, Tennessee around 1825. I have not been able to locate their marriage in any other county or state. Jefferson and Martha spent most of their married life in Coffee County, Tennessee Martha died sometime after the 1870 Coffee County Tennessee Census. I am also looking for information on a family that lived in Middle Tennessee. They had a daughter named Martha BROWN They possible lived in the Beech Grove area. This would around the early 1800's She was married to Jefferson EARP around 1826. Jefferson children married had several children,. two or three married children from some of the same families. These are the names of the families they married into: FRAZIER, NORTON, STARNES, WHITTEMORE, GUEST, WINFREY, DOUGLASS, AND PAINTERS.Jefferson's mother was suppose to be NANCY MOORE. Jefferson father's name is unknown. I would like to find out which BROWNS could have been Martha's parents? He would marry Elizabth MANKIN after Martha's death. Martha died before the 1880 census I am also looking for a Thomas BROWN (he may have been related to Martha). All I have on him is that he was married on November 27, 1823 in Rutherford County, Tennessee to Rebecca SMOTHERS. Rebecca SMOTHERS was a sister of Wilky SMOTHERS that married James WINFREY also of Coffee County, Tennessee. Some of James and Wilky's children married Jefferson EARP children. James and Wilky (SMOTHERS) Winfrey had the following children: Martha Jane-married William Washington "Wash" EARP, Nancy Rebecca Ann-married Neaploean PATE, John Winfrey, Mary married William A. EARP [cousin to "Wash" EARP], Samuel "Polk" Winfrey, and Annie married James W. Winfrey. These are the ones I know of. Any information on these families would be appreciated. Spelling of names may vary. Thanks in advance. Jackie
