Dot Brown aka Dorothy Jean Brown died in 1975 and was burried Dec. 10, 1975 at 3:00 p.m. at South Heights Cemetery in Sapulpa, Creek County, Oklahoma. She was my grandaunt. Her brother Samuel Wayne Brown was my mother's father and died July 26, 1990 at the age of 81 years, 10 months, 1 week and 2 days. Dorothy Jean Brown's parents were Samuel William Brown, jr. and Mattie May Payne-Brown. Dot also had a sister, Juanita Brown-Tiger who died March 1, 1998 at the age of 91; Jewel Brown-Caton who died in Mathis, Texas and burried in Oklahoma. I've been searching for almost 4 years trying to find information on my grandfather, Samuel Wayne Brown, for my mom who just turned 80 on March 16, 2004. The last letter we received from him was Jan. 26, 1973 when he told mom he was in a VA Hospital in Houston, Texas waiting for kidney transplants. A libruarian in Mathis, Texas was nice enough to send me his obit from the newspaper archieves. I'd appreciate any info you would have for my grandfather as we never knew who Samuel Wayne Brown married after mom was born and her mother, Mary Wadsworth died from Septsemia poisoning after the birth of my mother. I know Samuel Wayne Brown had 4 more children born 26 years after mom (3/16/1924): 1. Wayne Brown born March 8, 1950 and was living in Giddings, Texas in 1990. 2. Mary Alice Brown born in 1954 was known as Mary Alice Brown-Wilkerson of Highlands in 1990. 3. Penny Sue Brown born in 1956 but she wasn't mentioned in her father's obit, could be dead. 4. Patricia Jean Brown born in 1961 and now known as Patricia Jean Brown-Stapp of Corpus Christi, Texas as of 1990. I've been trying to find mom's 1/2 siblings to see if their father ever told them about my mother, their 1/2 sister. Would love to hear from you. You can email me at BlondiNativeAme3@Netscape.net I'm going to try looking up Samuel Wayne Brown's children that are mentioned in his obit at Verizon Super pages to see if they might still be alive so I can contact them. Please feel free to email me anytime. Annmarie
