BROWN - SHEPARD

Kay Owen Wed Oct 18 20:14:26 2006
Thomas BROWN was born ca 1779 PA. He married 23 Oct 1800 in Adams County, Ohio, Sally SMITH born ca 1780 PA.

Living next door in DeKalb County, MO, and later in Madison County, IA, beginning 1850 are the BROWN brothers, John b. 1807, James b. 1809, Thomas Vensen / Vincent b. 1816 and Hezekiah (called Kioh) b. 1831. Also a married sister, Frances (Fanny) SHEPARD / SHEPERD / SHEPHERD & her little daughter, Sally SHEPARD.

Thomas BROWN died in September 1859 in Lee Township, Madison County, Iowa.

The families of Thomas & Sally (SMITH) BROWN are originally from the old Cherokee Nation in GA, and moved north through TN, KY, etc. to PA and eventually West through Champaign County, IL, and DeKalb County, MO, and finally into Madison County, IA.

Can someone help find the rest of the siblings & where in PA did Thomas & Sally live before moving to OH in 1800?

Where in PA were the Cherokees in 1779? Who were the Cherokees helping in 1779? Just thought I'd ask!!!
Thanks.

CROW - MOON

Daniel Champion Fri Nov 17 14:47:02 2006
I recently obtained an old photo of a cousin at her father's grave in or near Chattanooga/Lookout Mountain. I had thought that he was buried in the National Cemetery in Chattanooga, but this photo does not appear to be at a national cemetery due to the tombstones in the background. The cousin was Dovil "Dovie" Rebecca (CROW) MOON 1889-1942. Her father was John Henry CROW who died in Chattanooga in 1903-1904. There was said to have been a tombstone shaped like a locomotive engine near his grave. He had worked at the railroad yards there in Chattanooga.

I am searching for now 15 years for my grandmother Ida Belle (HUGHES / HUGHS) CASSIDY who lived in Chattanooga 1st District with Albert CASSIDY, her husband and a son William Thomas CASSIDY, my father.

After that I cannot find my grandmother. Between 1920 and 1940 she has died or divorced or something. Albert has married again because next to him in Forest Hill Cemetery is a Agnes E. (McCRAVEY) CASSIDY, his 2nd wife. Albert's daughter, Alline CASSIDY is buried there also but no Ida. I asked Forest Hill Cemetery if they had a Ida CASSIDY and they said no!!! This is where I am.

Ida was born 7/1875 or 1876 in KY. She had 2 brothers, Rude Larue and William HUGHES / HUGHS. They lived around Junction City, KY or Lexington, KY. Albert had 3 children - William T CASSIDY 1895, Lillian CASSIDY 1897 and Alline 1898. Alline is buried in Forest Hill Cemetery, also here in Chattanooga, TN.

Ida has been my long awaited person to find. I was hoping this year I might find her. But not yet.

Albert died 1949 and Lena died 1944, Hamilton co TN. Albert was living 2305 Chamberlain ave Highland Park with us when he died. Being a child I never ask not even growing up. Now I am older I want to find my family and especially my grandmother.

Any help would be so much appreciated. I am at my witts end not knowing what happen to her.
