I am searching for information on ancestors of my husband.
I have information that Josephine Marietta Harrison (daughter of Henry Harrison and Elizabeth Jane Higginbotham) married a Jos. T. Brown on June 28, 1866 in Greene Co. I am needing a document verifying that.
I found Josephine Brown in the 1870 census (Boligee) with her two children, Henry and Ann. Her husband was not listed. She moved to Texas where she married again in 1874. Her son Henry is my husband’s great-grandfather, and we know the rest of her life’s history and her second family.
We just don’t know anything about Henry’s father. So I am looking for marriage records and a possible death or divorce record for Mr. Brown.
There is a possibility I have found but cannot verify. Joshua T Brown, son of Joshua T Brown Sr and Penelope Cook was born about 1842 and is in the 1850 and 1860 census of Greene Co.
Does this ring a bell with anyone?
