John BROWN
Sarah __?__

WARNING: This page has been put together based partly on circumstantial evidence. Please pay attention as to which data do or do not have primary documentation.

Husband: John [J. or Leeper] BROWN
Birth: 1824/5, Knox Co., TN
Occupation: farmer
Brother: Gideon Leeper BROWN, b. 25 Jun 1821, Knox Co., TN; d. 7 May 1904; m. 14 Jun 1842, Andrew Co., MO, Ann BLAKELY (1823-1906)

Mother: Elizabeth [Ann] "Betsy" SAMPLE (1796-1886) of PA — Samuel², William¹

There is a source in the Public Member Trees at Ancestry.com that takes our subject's father back on this line:
Father: John BROWN (1797-1842) — Felix Kennedy/Canady/Canada¹², William¹¹, William¹⁰, Alexander⁹, James⁸, James⁷, John⁶, Henry⁵, Anthony⁴, Thomas³, Robert², Anthony¹ of Bechworth, Surry, ENG
But I am immediately dubious when I see a lineage going back this far, especially to an illustrious ancestor, unless it's well documented. Please do not accept this line without thorough documentation.

There's no such name as, "Stelsey," so I have no idea what it should have been. Addie was indexed "Stenerson."
