Here is the obit for Rev. John L. Brown (Sarah Alonzia Elizabeth Rogers Madewell's grandfather, A.W.'s wife):

This is from the Christian Advocate:

Rev. John L. Brown fell asleep in Jesus December 12, 1898 at the home of his son-in-law and daughter, Jackson and Eliza T. Brown, near Richland, Navarro County, Tex., where he has been living for the last six years. He was born in Warren county, Tenn., May 5, 1809. He professed religion and joined the M.E.Church, South, at seventeen years of age. At the age of twenty-eight he was licensed to preach, under the presiding eldership of Rev. John Sherrell; was ordained deacon October 17, 1852, by Bishop Joshua Soule, at Pulaski, Tenn; and elder October 24, 1858, by Bishop James Osgood Andrew, at McMinnville, Tenn. He preached for about forty-seven years, and was faithful to all the doctrines and usages of Methodism. Though local, he would often relieve the preachers in charge and go their rounds, while they went home or were sick. In revivals he went far and near. He never fled before the enemy. His preaching was plain, earnest, and practical. Anything that he could not adjust to the word of God was with him but chaff. He was a great lover of the CHRISTIAN ADVOCATE. He was married to Sarah Taylor. To them were born thirteen children. All but four have preceded him. His wife preceded him by ten years to the good world. His firstborn still survives him, though sixty-odd years old. He has thirty-six great-grandchildren, the most of whom live in Texas, where he died. His daughter Eliza and her husband endeavored to make his life pleasant and happy. He offtimes expressed his delight with Texas and the tender care for him the last six years of his life. Often would he say that there was but one thing that troubled him, that was he would rather be buried by his wife at Beech Grove in Alabama. That made but little difference, as he would be with her in heaven. He loved the Texas preachers: Brothers M.B. McKinney, F.M. Winburn, G.J. Irving and others. Our present preacher he never saw, but he held an impressive service at the grave. On the night of his departure, about one o'clock, he held out his hand, and said: "Good-by; don't grieve after me. I am going to a better home over yonder." A few minutes before the last he rose up in bed and told his daughter to fix him a soft pillow to die on. She adjusted the pillow, he lay down on the edge of it, and in a moment said, "Now, Lord, take me easy." and his life was gone. Not a struggle, not a frown; all was over. "Let me die the death of the righteous, and let my last end be like his."

We, his children, who have cared for him in his last years, want to say to his many friends and relatives, especially in Tennessee, that if we ever meet him again we will have to live in this life above reproach. God help us all so to do!

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
-Gilford Madison Brown b. 1896-d. 1960 Thornton, TX
-Joe Madison Brown b. 08 Jan 1928 in Thornton, TX;
an executive with Dell Publishing Co, he moved to
New York; then retired back to TX,
where he died 05 Jul 2009.
-Kenneth Wayne Brown b. 1956 in Fort Worth, TX;
still lives in NY
-Kenneth Christopher “KC” Brown b. 1982
in Sleepy Hollow, NY. He is our Facebook
Friend, who contacted Chuck and me when
he made the DNA connection. He married
Lauren just before Chistmas 2010
