Notes for Rutha J. Brown
Hi Craig,
I wanted to contact you about some information that I found about Margaret Brown. I found the death certificate for her daughter Rutha J. Brown (Williams) and on the death certificate they list her mother's maiden name as Leeper. After doing some further research it appears that there could be Brown-Leeper marriages for a couple of generations. Also, Eliza Brown was living with Jane A. Leeper and Henry C. Small in 1850. I would guess there is some kind of family connection since Hugh Brown named his son Henry Small Brown. There is also a Alexander Leeper living next to Melinda Brown (Lasley) in the 1860 Census. I hope some of this information will help make more connections to other Brown relatives and tie up some loose ends. Thank you for all of the work you did on our family line back to the Boones, it made it a lot easier to build my family tree. And I appreciate all of the information that you provided to my mom, Nancy, when she was taking her geneology classes. All of the information has been very useful to our family. The death certificate that I found for Rutha Brown has been added to my tree in ancestory.com and is availble for others to download. I hope that you find this useful.
