Census records have provided the birth year of Francis Brown as being between 1750 and 1760. He died in Lawrence County (Ms.) in 1832. His succession papers provide his legatees. His wife, Mary, preceded him in death, as she does not appear in his husehold in 1830. Much research has been done to determine Mary's maiden name, to no avail. Good guesses might be Speirs (Spears), Pool, Paul, Paulk, or Powell.
Since the last five of Francis and Mary's children were born in Georgia, we know that Francis was in Georgia, for sure, between 1794 and 1806. After studying all the Francis Browns in Georgia who were alive during this time, my conclusion is that Francis Brown lived in Jefferson County, Ga. during those years. After studying all records available from Jefferson County, no ties to any of the other Browns there could be identified. This leads me to believe Francis was there with his inlaws. Until that family can be identified, it would be impossible to track Francis and Mary back before those years in Georgia. It is possible their two older children were born in North Carolina, but that is still uncertain.
Although there were other Browns who settled in Lawrence County, Mississippi, during those early years of 1817-1820, when Francis appeared, no positive connections can be made. On one early tax list, Francis is beside Bartlet Brown. Bartlet died during those first years in Lawrence County. After having researched over 10 Bartlet Browns, I cannot positively indentify the one in Lawrence County with any of the others. Perhaps this is a brother of Francis.
