Note: d in possession of Bobby Brown, Carnesville, GA. The burial date is also in the Bible. George Allen was included in the 1870 and 1880 census with his parents which is detailed under George Tilman. Since George T. was living in Franklin in 1860 also, it establishes a place of residence for this family and therefore a place of birth for George A.
The marriage is recorded in Book 1881-1893, page 98. They were married by Rev. J. F. Goode at the bride's home.
George was called Pa Brown by his grandchildren. He farmed 200-300 acres and grew some cotton and also feed for the animals. He grew a tremendous garden. Bud served as Red Hill Tax Collector for 1909-10. He said he remembered his father in a blue uniform. Need to check on a war record for George Tilman. There is a note that he was a prisoner of war.
"George A. (Bud) Brown (4-20-1861)-(7-15-1947) married Mollie Wheeler (9-19-1867)-(5-21-1944) and they made their home in several places before his parents died, then he bought the Tilman Brown home located near Brackets Bridge, a beautiful colonial home which still stands and belongs to their son, Lawrence. Their children were: Mattie Lee, Luther, Blanche, Lawrence, and Lucile. They were both buried at Clarks Creek cemetery. Living in the family are: Blanche, Lawrence and Lucile." Written by Hazel Brown Trotman in 1979. Louise was told by her father Luther that he helped Pa pour the concrete for the pillars for the house. The molds were made of narrow wooden strips and the wood grain can be seen on the pillars.
Louise Brown Reynolds said that Pa Brown chewed tobacco all the time. He had several skin cancers and a crippling kind of arthritis. He was bent over but still active. Some of the girls also had arthritis. Louise said he had blue eyes and thick silver white hair. He probably died at home.
Could not find George A. Brown in the 1900 GA genealogy.com index. Checked all George Brown's in Franklin and all surrounding counties. Also checked for G. A. and Bud Brown. No matches. All of children still at home. Does anyone know where they were living on 1 June 1900? Also need copy of his death certificate.
