Looking for any info on this person for 1860 - 1870 Daviess County, IN. He and his wife were born in KY. Does anyone know where they originated from. I am from the Harrison County, KY Clemons line. Looking for a stray George...
Any info would be helpful..
Thanks
I just found a great site to keep track of those genealogical books (and any other books for that matter). I wanted to share with everyone.
Try www.LibraryThing.com<http://www.librarything.com/>
It is free for up to 200 books after that you can pay $25 and add as many books as you want for your lifetime.
The Pike County Library has a wonderful lady named Shirley who works in the
genealogy
dept. You can call or write her and she will be happy to assist you in any
Pike County
genealogy information.
Sorry about the web garbage..this version is cleaned up :-)

Mary Elizabeth (Polly) Smoot was married to Ebenezer Robert Wallace I.
Ebenezer Wallace was the son of Joshua Wallace of Henry County KY. who was
a Rev.
Solder and founded the town of Lockport , KY. ( Originally from Abbeville,
SC)
Any information as to who might be the parents of Mary Elizabeth (Polly)
Smoot? I was lead to belive that Elizabeth came from the Smoot line of
Mormans----who pick up Wallaces when the came through KY, IND., ILL. on
their way to
Utah.
Try _www.familysearch.org_ (http://www.familysearch.org)
I found this for starters:

In the 1880 census Peter and Mary are married and living in Lockhart, Pike Co., Indiana. The Jane Hall listed I believe now to be George Hall's youngest child Nancy J. Hall. She is found with George Hall in the 1860 Russell Co., Kentucky census. It looks like she is abt. 22 yrs. old which would be close to his daughter's age.

I am not related to the Maxey's or Carnahan's. Just thought I could help find info to fill in the blanks.
I found more info for you (Peter Erwin & possibly George Hall), but in posting it the info got deleted. So it won't happen again, I am going to send it to your email address as soon as I find it again.

Well, as far as thi group goes, you may not find anyone named Brown in Daviess Co.,
for your research, unless you use a phone book. There are many Browns in the phone book, who you may be related too.
You also didn't mention your race? We have both races of Browns here in Daviess
Co.; Plus there are Brown females who carry a different surname now also. You
cannot complete rely on the internet to solve all you communication with all the
relatives out there.
Right now, I can probably count on one hand the amount of Brown's in Daviess Co,
who does not have a computer, or use one?
I hope this email encourages you to research a little harder in Daviess Co.., because
there are several.
Oh, and may I also remind you, probably many of them if they do have a computer,
do not subscribe to any genealogy lists. That one I can assure you.
Good Luck in furthuring your research.

Since I was having a lot of difficulty getting this line back to Virginia
and beyond with any level of confidence -- genealogy is never easy with a
name like Brown -- I decided to try DNA testing (y-dna -- which follows the
"top line" all the way back).
Can I say that the results so far have been very interesting. First of all,
there's a Brown society with a good sized group interested in y-dna testing
of men named Brown. Here is the contact information for that group for
anyone who is male and named Brown, or is male but not named Brown but does
have close relatives who ARE named Brown, or for women who have male
relatives named Brown whom they can convince to have their DNA done:

There is a good reason to have your DNA "done" under the auspices of a group
like this, as they get a discount on the cost, and they can also are glad to
be helpful in helping you make some sense out of the results.
So far, my y-dna -- my Daviess County Brown DNA -- is unique in this group
of more than 300 men named Brown -- in other words, nobody comes even close
to being a match. So I was thinking that if some more men with Brown for a
surname from Daviess County, or with Daviess County roots, there was a
possibility that we might turn up a connection, even if it is 16 or 20
generations back.
I am no expert on DNA testing -- far from it, in fact -- but I wanted to
tell the list about this in hopes that this approach might be helpful not
only to me but also to others on the list.
Sincerely,
Geoff Brown

Thank you for the reply, that helps but still leaves a lot of unanswered questions.. The kids were put in an orphanage in 1879 or 1880. I am trying to find out why, I believe that Daniel died in 1874 from Lung fever but I have no information at all on the mother. I believe there was a 4th child also, Henry.
