Two Brown families are buried in Mt. Zion cemetery. One is the Thomas A. Brown and
Susanna McKinney family. The others are supposedly the descendants of another Thomas A.
Brown and wife Mary O'Neal. I found that the government prosecuted a case against
Joseph H. Powell, Elisha Brown, and Sandy M. Brown in 1879. I found this in an index and
no nothing else about the case. Elisha Brown (b. 1840) was the son of the Thomas A. Brown
and Mary O'Neal. Sandy (b. 1829) was the son of the other Thomas and Susanna
McKinney. I know that the two Thomas A. Browns were not the same man. Thomas and Susanna
are buried in Mt. Zion Cemetery and the other Thomas and wife are supposedly buried in
Shiloh Cemetery. I find it interesting that Elisha and Sandy were associated in a court
case. Might there be a family connection between the two Thomas Browns? I know about the
family of Thomas married to Susanna -- I know his father and have a suspected
grandfather's name. Does anyone know !
about the other Thomas' family? Would anyone want to look up the court case (Box 94
file 7) in county records?
