    3. Re: [Forum:] Browntown, Red Bank, a Warren County Query posting by Gilbert West This from the query: >>A court document in 1867 made reference to an "estate called Browntown or Red Bank."<< This from Betty Moore Majors "Warren County, Tennessee Deed Book A" (deed abstractions), p.22: "pg 335/6. 3 Now 1812 George Mitchell of Wison County, Tennessee to Robert Brown of Warren County for $250.00 ... 200 acres on both sides of Barren Fork of Collins River, distinguished by the name of the red banks, being the tract whereon the said Brown now lives ... corner of the entry of the heirs of Moses Davis by Tennessee grant No. 2929 Reg 6 Nov 1812." This land is in Tennessee's Second Surveyors' District and would place east of Crisp Springs.. It would seem reasonable that the "Browntown" could be connected to "Red Bank" since Robert, Thomas Brown (RevWarVets), a son William, later Abner and Isaac are found *at,* next to, or near the "Red Banks" tract. http://www.tngenweb.org/warren/cemeteries/brown-barren.gif Fred Smoot
