A Collection of Family Stories and a Biographical Dictionary of Two Black Families : the Browns of West Georgia and the Whites of East Georgia, 1806-1990
Description:... The story of the Brown family probably began in Monroe County in what is now Walton Co., Ga. sometime in the 1830's. Crawford Brown was sold by his father, a Walton County lawyer by the name of Crawford Crane or Crane Brown, to plantation owner, George Rowland Brown. Plantation was located in Lumpkin, Stewart County. There he met and married Tobitha Brown. They were parents of ten or more children. Their oldest son, Charlie Curtis Brown (b. ca. 1854), was the great-grandfather of the author. The earliest ancestors of the White family, James (b. ca. 1840) and Noble White, were of Savannah, Chatham Co., Georgia.
