I am trying to find more information about John Augustus Brown. John Augustus Brown (caucasian) in 1920 was found in the Census of Albemarle Co., VA. In his household were Margaret E. Moon and Coleman D. Moon ("mulatto"). Perhaps Coleman is Margaret's son or brother? I hope someone can give me clues about these people. Thank you, Land H -- Facinated by Family Brown, Harris, Hamner, Herndon, Hendley, Norris, Land, Clarke, Laughton, Nimmo, Reid, Peebles, Lucas, Webb, Hart, Wilson, Gregory, Taylor, Osborn, Terry, LeGrand to name a few.

The 1920 record shows Margaret Moon at age 30 and Coleman age 14 as servants. Margaret is listed as single. Your John A. Brown is 51. A mulatto "Margaret Moon" (age 69) and at least three mulatto Moon families are in Scottsville, Albemarle County in 1910. She has 3 grandsons with her -- Clarence (11), Conrad (7), and Hom___ (23). Next door is Fannie Moon (47), mother to Margaret (20) and John D. (18). This could be the Margaret that appears in John A. Brown's home 10 years later. And 3 doors down from them are James R. Moon (66), wife Mollie (58), James L (29), Mollie C (21), Carrie H. (17), and their grandchildren Viola (6), Burton (4), O__da_ (4), and Wa_eda (1). Several more grandchildren, with different surnames, are also living with them. Incidentally, enumerator was Jackson Beal, one-time Mayor, but no Brown on that page or immediately before or after. Looking further, didn't find any John Brown close to the right age living in Albemarle at 1910. Source: Series: T624 Roll: 1620 Page: 33 In 1930, John A. Brown is still found in Scottsville, age 62, in RFD Keene. Margaret is still in his household at age 41. Margaret is listed still as single. The only Coleman (J.) moon is listed as Black, age 30, living also in Scottsville. He is married to Emma C, age 40, and her children live with them. Clara L, age 15, and Horace, age 12.
