Notes for Tolliver Brown: There is speculation that Tolliver Brown may be the grandson of William Brown who came to America on the ship Britannia in 1772.[Brown 2003.FTW] The Brown family traces their ancestral roots back to Norman origin. The Brown name first appeared in ancient medieval records in Cumberland , located in the English and Scottish Border Ridings. The Brown family name was recorded in the following counties, which can be used as a starting point for further investigation into these records held in the British Museum. DEVONSHIRE, HEREFORDSHIRE, and LANCASHIRE Five of Toliver's sons James F., Asa, William Young, and Samuel Jordan served in the CSA 48th Georgia Volunteer Infantry. The Jefferson Volunteers, was formed in early March 1862. the regiment served in Wright's Brigade in the army of North Virgina. The Company took part in the Seven Days Campaign, 2nd Manassas, Harpers Ferry, Sharpsburg, Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, the Wilderness, siege of Petersburg and Appomattox. Casualties in the 48th Georgia were extremely high. At Gettysburg the regiment lost 55% of their effective numbers alone. All survived the war but it is believed that Asa was wounded and recovered, and Samuel Jordan lost a leg. You can read about the exploits of Company E, 48th Regiment, Georgia Volunteer Infantry, of the Army of Northern Virginia in John Zwemer's "For Home And The Southland. John Zwemer's book is a history of the 48th Georgia Infantry Regiment. Patrick served in the CSA but we haven't determined what regiment. Patrick was born in 1840 otherwise we know very little about him. [Notes provided by Samuel Edward Brown] I believe that Toliver Brown was the son of Asa Brown for the following reasons: Asa is listed in the 1802 tax digest for Jefferson County. Toliver was born in Jefferson County in 1805. Asa was listed in the 1820 Jefferson County census and Ester was listed in the 1830 census. Asa died in 1829 and Esther in 1840. Zacheus Brown was the son of Asa Brown and Esther Elizabeth Mayo Brown. Zacheus had property adjoining Toliver's in the 83rd military district. Zacheus witnessed a land survey for Toliver in 1844. Louisa, a sister of Zacheus, married Thomas Hall. Toliver married Ann <Hall>.* Toliver named one of his sons Asa. In the 1850 Census, Toliver is listed as 45 years old, so I have made the assumption that he was born in 1805. In the 1820 census, Asa had 2 sons who were 10-15 years old. In the book titled "Persons Entitled to Draw in 1827 Land Lottery", Toliver Brown is shown as a single man entitled to one draw in the 83rd or Capt. Marshalls District. On 11/26/1868, Toliver granted deeds of land to sons Asa and William Y. Brown. (Deed Book A p. 447 and p. 449. On 10/30/1869, Toliver and Ann Brown deed land to Samuel Jordan Brown. (Deed Book B p. 113) * A cousin saw a handwritten note in the archives next to Anne's name suggesting that her maiden name was Hall. Certainly not proof. Notes for Ann Hall: Was from Emanuel County Tolliver Brown and Ann Hall had the following children: 8. i. JAMES F.8 BROWN was born in 1834. He died on Feb 17, 1884 in Jefferson County, Georgia. He married (1) NANCY E. DONALDSON in 1851. He married (2) NANCY ELLEN DONALDSON on Aug 14, 1851 in Jefferson County. Generation 7 (con't) 9. ii. ELIZABETH BROWN was born in 1836. She died on Sep 19, 1918 in Johnson County, Georgia. She married (1) JOSEPH HALFIELD in 1860. She married (2) BENNETT POWELL on Mar 08, 1860 in Jefferson County Georgia. He was born about 1929. He died in Johnson County, Georgia. 10. iii. ASA BROWN was born on Oct 13, 1837 in Bartow,GA. He died on May 12, 1899 in Bartow,GA. He married (1) ELLEN LAWSON, daughter of Roger McGill Lawson and Sarah Jane Marsh, after 1875. She was born on Aug 29, 1849. She died on Aug 26, 1931 in Lyons, GA. He married (2) ELIZABETH FIELDS. She was born in 1839. iv. PATRICK BROWN was born in 1840. He died in 1899. 11. v. WILLIAM YOUNG BROWN was born in 1842. He died on Oct 05, 1914 in Bartow, Georgia buried in Bartow Cemetery. He married Calcy Pritchard in 1861. She was born in 1840. She died on Apr 20, 1911 in Bartow, Georgia buried in Bartow Cemetery. 12. vi. SAMUEL JORDAN BROWN was born in 1845. He died in 1917. He married Josephine Ivey on Apr 08, 1869 in Baldwin CO, GA. She was born in 1849. She died in 1918. Generation 8 8. JAMES F.8 BROWN (Tolliver7, Asa6, Benjamin5 Browne, Howell4, Thomas3 Browne, John2 Jr, John1 Sr) was born in 1834. He died on Feb 17, 1884 in Jefferson County, Georgia. He married (1) NANCY E. DONALDSON in 1851. He married (2) NANCY ELLEN DONALDSON on Aug 14, 1851 in Jefferson County. Notes for James F. Brown: [Brown 2003.FTW] He is buried in Nails Creek Baptist Church cemetery, Bartow, Ga. (just off the Wrightsville-Bartow highway at the Johnson-Jefferson county line) James was sometimes called "Jim Cat". That name alone makes your mind wonder but considering what is said to be on his grave maybe he had a lot of Toliver in him? Inscription on gravestone: We'll shed a tear to memory dear Upon his peaceful grave And trust when he get over there That God his soul will save. He was a member of Company E, 48th Regiment, Georgia Volunteer Infantry, Army of Northern Virginia, CSA, Jefferson Volunteers. He enlisted as private Mar. 4, 1862 and was discharged at Richmond, VA June 17, 1862. It is generally believed that he lost a foot in combat. Jefferson County, Ga was created in 1796, and the town of Louisville was run by commissioners prior to 1902.
