Surnames: Brown, Dowell Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/ABC.2ACE/3813 Message Board Post: Looking for information on the family of William Brown and Lydia Day. William was born about 1770. He was married to Lydia Dowell, daughter of Patrick Dowell. There are a few court records in early Russell County dealing with some land transactions by this William Brown involving the land his wife Lydia Dowell inherited from her father. William Brown is found in the 1820 and 1830 census in Russell County. Outside of the above, I have very little else on this family. Would be interested to know about their children and what happened to this family after the 1830 census.
