His mother was Methodist, and a couple of his brothers were Church of Christ. I contacted the Methodist church that my grandmother attended, but all its records have been lost through the years when people moved away, etc. There is an American Legion post in Paris, Texas, named for one of my Brown great-uncles who died in World War I, but it, too, has lost its records and no one there now remembers anything about my uncle. I Googled Sumner County, as you suggested, and came up with a lot of good information. Another person on this thread was nice enough to point me to some other resources, so I've been able to fill in some blanks for the first time in years on that line. I will be interested in knowing if your brother-in-law remembers anything about this family. Thanks, Jayne Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
