Notes:
Earl Anderson Brown’s line is our Dan Willis Brown's only match so far on the Brown DNA Project. The DNA submitter for that line was Grady Jess Brown from TX, who died several years ago. We thought we’d lost touch with anyone from the line; then, we were contacted by KC (Kenneth Christopher) Brown, who lives in New York and had found out about the DNA match. Unfortunately, though we know this line was related to Absalom (both lived at one time in Pendleton Dist), we still haven’t been able to connect them. Here’s all I know:
1. Andrew Brown b. ca. 1730 in Augusta/Frederick Co., VA, (apparently in part of the Scots-Irish settlement there). He m. Jane Elizabeth Young and was a Revolutionary War Soldier. They had sons John Henry? Brown and, possibly, Daniel and William Brown. Andrew moved to Pendleton Dist (Spartanburg Dist; Ninety Six Dist). 9/10/1784 Plat 200-a Saluda Riv (Long Cane Crk ??); 11/7/1785 Plat 200-a Hillsborough Twshp. He then moved to Elberton, GA and died in 1783.
2. John Henry? Brown b. May 1756 - c. 8 Aug 1847, son of Andrew and Jane Brown, was also a Revolutionary War Soldier (Private in 1777 SC Col. Roebuck's Reg, Capt. Pickens and is listed on the Alamo Chapter DAR, San Antonio, TX, Patriot List-Pension # W5906).
John married 1st in 1785 in Pendleton Dist, SC, Betty “Red Deer” Crawford (whose father may have been a George Crawford), said to be Cherokee. They had children: John Thompson (m. Nancy Camp), George Washington (m. Jane Barton), William, Benjamin, Elijah (b. 7 Feb 1797-d. Jun 1860; m. Nancy Edmonson), Mary, Eliza (m. John Camp), Selena, and Zeke. Note that John married a woman with probable Cherokee connections during the same general time period when Absalom’s father or grandfather must have done the same.
Betty died in 1809 and John married 2nd on 3 May 1811 (also in Pendleton Dist.) Elizabeth J. “Jincy” Stephenson b. 1775-d. 15 Jul 1855 in MS. They had children: Andrew Jackson (b. 24 Jul 1818 in Jefferson Co, AL - d. 17 Nov 1898 in TX; mar. Caroline Crawford), Julia Ann, Owen, Lucinda, Early Young (b. 1829-d. 1855), Emily Jane, and Arkansas.
Evidently, John and family moved with his father to Elberton, GA. He then moved in 1817 to Jefferson County, AL; and, moved in 1838 to Watkins Co, MS. He also lived in Oktibbeha Co, Starkville, and Choctaw Co, MS, where he d. 8 Aug 1847. He is said to have been buried in Bethlehem Cemetery, First Baptist Church Grounds, Under Fellowship Hall.
3. George Washington Brown b. abt 1787, son of John Henry? and Betty Crawford Brown. On 3 Mar 1808, he married Jane Barton (daughter of Benjamin Barton) in Pickens Co, SC. They had children: Annie C. (b. 12 Feb 1808-d. 17 Feb 1873 bur. White Rock Cemetery in Robertson Co, TX; mar. James M. Bates from KY. Their daughter Elizabeth Jane “Aunt Jenny” Bates Brooks left a very colorful history in Jefferson Co, AL), Earl Anderson (b. 1810-d. 1891 ; lived in Rusk, Cherokee Co, TX), Benjamin (b. 1811), George, Martha (1854 mar. William Hittson in Rusk Co, TX), Lucinda.
4. Earl Anderson Brown b. 1810, son of George Washington and Jane Barton Brown. In 1851 in TX, he mar. Mary Nail. Their children were: Selena Frances (b. 28 Jan 1837-d. 9 Dec 1890 in Denver, CO; mar. cattle baron John Nathan “Jack” Hittson), George Tilmon (b. 1841-d. 1918 in Cherokee Co, TX), Nathan, Elizabeth Jane (b. 13 May 1844 in Lauderdale Co, MS-d. 21 Jul 1932 in Bosque, TX; mar. Preston Harrison Owens).
5. George Tilmon Brown b. 1841-d. 1918 in Cherokee Co, TX. I don’t know who he married. He had two sons:
-Jess Earl Brown was the father of Grady Jess Brown,
Dan Willis’s DNA match.
-James Isham Brown b. 1867-d. 1930 Robertson Co, TX

-Kenneth Christopher “KC” Brown b. 1982

Lauren just before Chistmas 2010
