The Brown Family

I was able to trace our family on the Brown side all the way back to 1830, which is the birthday of Charlott Brown who was born a slave in South Carolina.

Listed below is the information you will find on the attached census record:

Name: George Brown
Home in 1900: Beat 5, Winston, Mississippi
Age: 50
Estimated Birth Year: 1850
Birthplace: Mississippi
Spouse’s Name: Mollie
Mother’s Name: Charlott
Race: Black
Household Members:
1) George Brown – 50 years old
2) Mollie Brown – 40
3) Alex C. Brown – 13
4) Laura Brown – 17
5) George Ann Brown – 11
6) James W. Brown – 6
7) Fanny Brown 4
8) Lucy Brown – 3
9) Earnest Brown – 1
10) Fayett Wilson – 9
11) Dula Wilson – 7
12) Fanny Wilson – 17
13) Charlott Brown – 70

Did you notice Charlott Brown was living with George Brown and family in 1900? Also, you will find (3) people with the Wilson last name that were living with the Brown family. Two are nieces and one nephew. I am assuming that these are the children of one of George’s sibling(s), but they could be the children of one of Mollie’s sibling(s), but it will take additional research to confirm either theory.
