Henry Washington BROWN b 1813 SC , d 1878 Holmes Co MS m Nancy Mansfield

James Jackson BROWN b 1820 Henry Co TN , d Wood Co TX m Harriett CROSS

Richmond Jones BROWN b 1822 Henry Co TN d 1904 Johnson Co AR m Mary Elizabeth GRIFFIN ( This is my line, and I have records on their children born 1856
to 1877, which I am glad to share with anyone who is interested.)

Please excuse the detail , but the localities and dates just might tie in with some of
your families which would give us another clue. ( There was a family of Browns living in Rankin Co MS in the same time frame whose naming patterns were almost the same as
my line , but have been unable to make contact with any descendants to verify any
relationship.) If you can relate to any of these names , I would appreciate hearing from you , especially any information on descendants and/or siblings of Henry .

Thanks for your patience,
Marietta
