Ancestor #: A015528 Service: VIRGINIA Rank: SOLDIER Birth: 1752 VIRGINIA Death: 1820 BURKE CO GEORGIA Residence 1) VIRGINIA SpouseNumber Name 1)ELIZABETH JONES *********************************************** BROWN FAMILY OF VIRGINIA AND SOUTH CAROLINA Compiled by Elizabeth Willis DeHuff, 1964 Many things point strongly to the fact that James Wilson, of Orangeburgh Dist., South Carolina, died August 1784, married Sarah Brown, daughter of Bartlett Brown, about 1765: 1, Bartlett Brown settled at Matthews Bluff "two miles below the mouth of the Three Runs" in 1762 with several children--in .1767, when. asking for a land in Georgia, he stated that he had 5 children and 11 slaves,,, and the father of James Wilson owned land on the Three Runs near the Savannah river, adjacent to land of Alexander Shaw, so James Wilson and Sarah Brown were near neighbors; 2. James WiIson. owned land that orignally belonged to William Brown son of Bartlett Brown and recorded no deed of purchase; 3. Bartlett Brown's mother was named Sarah; 4. Bartlett Brown. was granted land on Brier Creek, Richmond County, Georgia in 1767 and in 1770 James Wilson owned a mill together with Stephen Smith--on nearby Beaver Dam Creek, without any record of how James Wilson acquired the land upon which the mill was erected; the son of James and Sarah Wilson married an O'Bannon, as did Tarleton Brown; as did James Jennings Wilson "cousin-ed" certain members of the Brown descendants, to whom he could not have been kin, unless the grandmother of James Jennings Wilson was a Brown. I am convinced that the Widow.:: Sarah Wilson whose husband Janes Wilson died in August 1784, was originally Sarah Brown, daughter of Bartlett Brown. The name Wilson Brown appears in several deeds In Barnwell County and in a list of names in the, Equity files in 1818. In Barnwell Plat Book 2, P 383 is the plot of a grnt to Sarah Way...warrant from Wilson Brown Esq. Commissioner of locations 5 August 1816; 438 acres on Indian Grave Branch and Pen Branch waters of Savannah river, bounded NW by land of Geo. R. Dunbar and "land said to be surveyed for Stephen Smith;" SW by land belonging to Amos Way; SE by William Griffin and NE by Pen branch. All neighbors of James and Sarah Wilson. I shall quote extensively from the notes of the late Mrs, Harry Gordon, of Aiken, S.C., who was a descendant of Bartlett Brown and who spent years in research on her Brown ancestry. She found in Mrs. Nugent's "Cavaliers and, Pioneers," p 129: John Brown given land in Acconack Co. in 1642 for transporting self, wife Ursula, William Heath and wife. John Brown was in Northampton in 1652. She quotes from "The Browns of Albemarle Co., Virginia," by Lucy Brown McCrum assisted by Virginia Spotswood Licon: "See Dabnet's (Dabney) Library Universal Knowledge, Vol. XIII, p 826 (reprint of last Edinburg and London Edition): John Brown and his wife Miss Wilson were born in England and she probably died there as there is no record of her after he came to Arierica." (Was not this a different John Brown from the one with wife Ursula?, E.DeH.) She corresponded in 1942 with John R. Brown, of Kokomo, Indiana, who was descended from Benjamin Brown, of Albemarle Co., Virginia, through Benjamin's son Bernis and Bernis' son Benjamin Thompson Brown. He gave the following as his family records; Ben jamin Brown married Sarah Thompson, daughter of Robert Thompson, and they had the following children: I. Benjamin, Jr. m Miss Jarmin 2. William m Mary Ann Jarmin 3. Bartlett moved to North Carolina 4. Agnes never married 5. Barzilla went to Kentucky 6. Benajah m Mary Frances Jarmin 7. Bernard m Mary Elizabeth Dabney (parents of Dr. Chas. Brown) 8. Bernis m Henrietta Rhodes 9. Bazaleel m Polly (Mary) Thompson 10. Brightberry m Susan Thompson 11, Elizabeth m John Price 12. Lucretia m. Robert Harris In the records given above, of Mr. John Brown, of Kokono, Indiana, he states that Bartlett Brown moved to North Carolina from Albemarle Co., Virginia." Evidently, Barlett Brown did stop in North Carolina enroute to his final settlelment on the Savannah river, where he owned larnd on both sides of the river, in Burke County, Georia, and in Barnwell County,South Carolina. This is shown by the following deed, dated in 1785: Benjamin Brown, grantor to Abraham Gray grantee: Conveyance by the "legal heirs of Barlett Brown, of the State of Georgia Berk (sic) county" to Abraham Gray of 96th District, Laurens County, South Carolina, covering 600 acres of land which was originally granted to Bartlett Brown, by Mathew Rowan Governor of North Carolina, situata on the South Side of Enore River, formerly called "King's River This conveyance, made in 1785. (Recorded in. Deed Book A, p 298, Office of Mesne Conveyances; Larens South Carolina,) Mrs. Cordon also found a tradition that "John Brown and his son Benjamin Brown came from England to Hanover County, Virginia, about 1700." (This seems to be another of the many instances in family traditions where several generations were skipped. E.DeH.). From fmy own findings: In Fleet's NORTHUMBRIA COLLECTINEA, Vol. I, P 71: Northumberland County,Orders #5. 1678-1713, Mr: George Eskridge granted 1000 acres for transporting Alexr.
