Posted on: Jackson County, WV Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/WV/Jackson/12112 Surname: Brown, Nelson ------------------------- Here is my problem. In the 1870 census of Wood County, there is a Joseph Brown (56), James (23), Samuel (21), Rebecca(26), John(22), Polly(19), Joseph (14), Henry C(12). Now when Joseph Jr, and Henry C get married in Wood County, they say their parents were Mary and Joseph Brown from Jackson County. There is also a David who gets married there in Jackson County, who says his Joseph and Mary Brown. Can anyone account for any of these people. I'm looking for obituaries that list family members, wills. Does anyone know what happens to Mary, and when ? My relative is another child whom I'm tyring to figure out if she belongs. In her death certificate it lists her parents as Mary and Joseph Brown, trying to figure out if she belongs to this family. She is not with the family in 1860 census. So my thoughts are that Mary either leaves or dies and the young child, Emma or Emeline Brown is with relatives, maybe a married sibling, or with Mary if she leaves. Emma was born Jan 20, 1853, but don't know where, other than Va/WV. I know there are alot of Jackson County Brown's, can any one give me clues or connections. thank you for all help. Dan Huddleston
