Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/DhB.2ACE/992.1 Message Board Post: There are no burials listed in Brown County Rural cemeteries, nor in Greenleaf Cemetery in Brownwood. Going by the 1880 Ellis County Census for ages and family members, I found the following two marriages; McGowan, W.H.(possibly William H.) to Boynton, Clara April 30, 1891 Book B pg. 46 McGowan, B.E.(possibly Becky E.) to Walk, A.B. March 7, 1883 Book A pg. 110 I can find no other references to McGowans in Brown County Texas. Sorry, I could be of no other help.
