In the 1830 Census, there is a William V. Brown, but it doesn't match u
p. There are two young males, plus one between 30-40; there are two you

on or first Wm V?

Seeking any information on Bond V. Brown who married in August 1791 to Sus
annah KERNS, b. ca. 1775-1780 probably in North Carolina or Tennessee. Th
ey were married 9 years & then divorced or separated in 1800. She had 4 ch
ildren by Bond V. Brown, whom she abandoned to marry Joshua Pyron, my ance
stor. She moved to Marion Co., TN & later to McNairy Co., TN where she di
ed after 1850. Her only known child is William Riley Pyron, b. 20 June 18
24 in Marion Co., TN. Would love to know the names of her other children a
nd also who her parents were. Bond V. Brown was living in Caswell Count
y, North Carolina in 1811 when he filed for a divorce. I assume he marri
ed a second time some time after 1811??

Bob,
I am actively working on these Browns in Caswell Co, NC. I just spent a f
ew days with Margaret Green who has researched this family for many year
s. I am becoming more convinced that the William Brown and Leonard Brown w
ho received their land grants in 1779 (adjacent to each other) were brothe
rs. I am a descendant of the Leonard Brown line and have them well trace
d. Now I am searching for descendants of the William Brown line. After vie
wing many Caswell documents, I think that Hudson Brown and James Brown a
re sons of William. I know there are daughters as well. I think Willi
am V. Brown is of a later generation than the original William Brown. Cou
ld he also be a son? Your Frances would be of the right age to be a daught
er. Let's talk more. Danene

Notes for JESSE HOLLIS:
According to the inscription on his tombstone, Jesse Hollis was born in Ro
wan County July 16, 1771. His wife Frances was born in Caswell County Ju
ne 1, 1777. Jesse Hollis and Frances Brown were married in Caswell Coun
ty on Sept. 27, 1798, according to Caswell County marriage bond records. H
udson Brown was listed as bondsman, and the bond was witnessed by Alex Mur
phy, DC. In 1825, they moved to Gibson County in Southwest Indiana, whe
re they lived the rest of their lives. The locally published history, "Gib
son County, Indiana," states that they arrived in the company of Hudson Br
own.
On Nov. 22, 1800, Jesse Hollis purchased 100 acres on Tom's Creek for 1
00 Lbs. On March 24, 1812, he acquired another 300 acres on Tom's or Thom
's Creek for $300. Information taken from Caswell County deed books also i
ndicate that Jesse's property adjoined that of one William V. Brown, w
ho in March of 1795 sold 45.5 acres of his extensive holdings to Hudson Br
own.
In December of 1818, Jesse sold 100 acres on the North Branch of Stony Cre
ek for $275, and on Sept. 23, 1825, presumably as he prepared to depart f
or Indiana, he sold 145.5 acres "whereon Hollis lives adjacent to Willi
am V. Brown and Isaac Cantrell," to Hosea McNeill for $300.
****************
This week I located an abstract of the will of Ashford Walker. It names Ja
mes M. Walker as his son. Normally this wouldn't be enough of a connectio
n, but it also locates him in Haywood, TN. This is where I have definite
ly placed James M. Walker. It's good enough for me. I'm willing to conce
de that James M. Walker was the only son of Ashford Walker. Apparently bet
ween the years of 1850 and 1860 both James M. and his father Ashford le
ft Caswell, NC for the greener grass of central TN. This is not a big surp
rise as there is a special relationship between NC and TN owing to the fa
ct that the original establishment of NC included much of TN. When TN beca
me a state in 1796 a bunch of people who were living in NC suddenly were l
iving in East TN.
