First GenerationFirst GenerationFirst GenerationFirst Generation 1. Edward Brown Edward Brown Edward Brown Edward Brown was born before 1632. He died in 1679 in Lower Norfolk County, Virginia.

The name "Brown" is one of the four most common surnames in England, from which our family springs. It is Anglo-Saxon (German) in origin, originally "Brun", meaning sunburnt or swarthy complexion. Edward is the earliest Brown ancestor that can, by any connection at all, be identified. The records show numerous Edward Brown's, most with children named John and Mary, during this period. [There is a particular confusion with our Edward and an Edward Brown who died in Princess Anne County in 1709/ 1711. There is also an Edward Brown, born in 1640 in Isle of Wight County whose son John, b. 1669, is often show by genealogists as marrying Elizabeth Ivy. But, Elizabeth was born in 1653, making her marriage to our John Brown more reasonable than her marrying a John Brown 16 years her junior.]

We do not know whether Edward was born in Virginia or not. We know that our Edward was not a member of the 1607-1610 Jamestown companies...there was an Edward Browne who was a "gentleman" member of the 1607 "Virginia 100", but he died on August 15, 1607. In the 1620 list of "Adventurers of Virginia" there was a William Browne and in the 1624 census, there were eight "Browne's" listed, but none were named Edward. In 1622, Captain John Smith utilized the services of "one Browne" who had lived among the Indians and spoke their language. Women were not allowed into the colony by the Virginia Company until 1619, so it is possible he was born in Virginia between 1624 and 1632. However, even if he was not born in Virginia, he most certainly was born in England, since the settlement of Virginia was an English undertaking. In June of 1606, King James I granted a charter to a group of London entrepreneurs, the "Virginia Company", to establish an English settlement in the Chesapeake region of North America. By December, 140 settlers sailed from London instructed to settle Virginia, find gold and a water route to the Orient. Only 105 arrived alive. After stopping at Cape Henry at the mouth of the James River, on May 13, 1607 the Virginia Company explorers landed on James Island to establish the Virginia English colony 60 miles upriver from the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay. By one account, they landed there because the deep water channel let their ships ride close to shore; close enough, to moor them to the trees. (Recent discovery of the exact location of the first settlement and its fort indicates that the actual settlement site was in a more secure place, away from the channel, where Spanish ships, could not fire point blank into the Fort.) Almost immediately after landing, the colonists were under attack from what amounted to the on-again off-again enemy, the Algonquian natives. As a result, in a little over a month's time, the newcomers managed to " beare and plant palisadoes" enough to build a wooden fort. (Three contemporary accounts and a sketch of the fort agree that its wooden palisaded walls formed a triangle around a storehouse, church, and a number of houses.) While disease, famine and continuing attacks of neighboring Algonquians took a tremendous toll on the population, there were times when the Powhatan Indian trade revived the colony with food for copper and iron implements. It appears that the structured leadership of Captain John Smith kept the colony from dissolving. The " starving time" winter followed Smith's departure in 1609, during which only 60 of the original 214 settlers at Jamestown survived. That June, the survivors decided to bury cannon and armor and abandon the town. It was only the arrival of the new governor, Lord De La Ware, and his supply ships that brought the colonists back to the fort and the colony back on its feet. Although the suffering did not totally end at Jamestown for decades, some years of peace and prosperity followed the wedding of Pocahontas, the favored daughter of the Algonquian chief Powhatan, to tobacco entrepreneur John Rolfe.

The first representative assembly in the New World convened in the Jamestown church on July 30, 1619. The General Assembly met in response to orders from the Virginia Company "to establish one equal and uniform government over all Virginia" which would provide "just laws for the happy guiding and governing of the people there inhabiting." The other crucial event that would play a role in the development of America was the arrival of Africans to Jamestown. A Dutch slave trader exchanged his cargo of Africans for food in 1619. The Africans became indentured servants, similar in legal position to many poor Englishmen who traded several years labor in exchange for passage to America. The popular conception of a race-based slave system did not fully develop until the 1680's. The Algonquians eventually became disenchanted and, in 1622, attacked the out-lying plantations, killing over 300 of the settlers. Even though a last minute warning spared Jamestown, the attack on the colony and mismanagement of the Virginia Company at home convinced the King that he should revoke the Virginia Company Charter. Virginia became a crown colony in 1624. The fort seems to have existed into the middle of the 1620s, but as Jamestown grew into a "New Town" to the east, written reference to the original fort disappeared. Jamestown remained the capital of Virginia until its major statehouse burned in 1698. The capital was moved to Williamsburg that year. With the introduction of women to the colony in 1619, family life became commonplace in the colony, helping create an environment under which the small settlement, even though suffering many setbacks at the beginning, would in time grow and prosper. Governor Yeardley, the first royal governor, was succeeded by various other governors who were often not well liked by the general colonial population. In 1642, Sir William Berkeley (living in England at the time) was named Governor of the American Colony and he sailed to America early that year. Governor

Berkeley, in contrast to previous governors, was generally well liked by the colonists and served until 1652 at which time he was forced to surrender the colony to Oliver Cromwell who had overthrown King Charles I during the English Civil War that had broken out the same year that Berkeley had set sail for America. From 1652 until 1660, when Cromwell died, England had little governing control over the colony and the General Assembly of Virginia was, under most circumstances, left to govern the colony themselves. But the majority of the Virginia colonists were Royalists (in favor of the Crown) and were pleased when Charles II gained control of the government and became King. Berkeley was reappointed Governor of Virginia in 1660. The majority of the colonists, however, were not pleased with Berkeley's rule during this second term and it resulted in widespread discontent among the population. It was during this second term of Berkeley that the heads of various prosperous families of the colony rose to positions in the House of Burgesses and Virginia became ruled by a very small group of affluent and wealthy families known as the "Tidewater Aristocracy". The widespread discontent among the colonists resulted in what was to be known as Bacon's Rebellion. In 1676, after the colony had experienced various skirmishes and problems with the natives and after Berkeley had failed to take quick action in repelling an Indian attack, the colonists chose Nathaniel Bacon to lead an attack on the Indians. Bacon later lead a rebel group to Jamestown where he captured and set fire to the settlement. As a result of this rebellion Berkeley lost control of the government and leadership was taken over by Bacon. This rebellion was short-lived however, as Bacon died the same year from "lice and flux". Berkeley immediately regained governing control and all those who had taken part in the rebellion were made to answer to their acts of insurrection. Berkeley, however, was soon called back to England, to answer for his treatment of the colonists. After sailing back to England, he became sick and passed away while there. Various royal governors succeeded Berkeley as rulers of the colony, but the Tidewater aristocracy never lost much of their grip on the political and economic control of the colony and maintained their eliteness throughout the 1600's. The settlement at Jamestown was "Virginia" for the first few years. However, in 1611 a small settlement

was established up the north bank of the James River opposite the mouth of the Appomattox River. In succeeding years, small enclaves were established on the south side of the lower James River, on the northern end of The Peninsula at the mouth of the York River (then known as Charles River), and across the Chesapeake Bay on the Eastern Shore. By 1623, there were already complaints that there too many new people coming to Jamestown and the surrounding areas. In 1624, there were 1,033 persons in the area (including eight with the surname "Browne"). By 1634, the English colony of Virginia consisted of eight "shires" or counties with a total population of approximately 5,000 inhabitants, almost all of whom, except those on the Eastern Shore, still lived within about a 30-mile radius of Jamestown. One of these was Elizabeth City Shire, which included an area on both sides of Hampton Roads. The northern portion became Elizabeth City County in 1643, and is now incorporated into the independent city of Hampton, Virginia. In 1636 the southern portion of Elizabeth City Shire became New Norfolk County. (King Charles I is credited with naming the county.) This area was divided again in 1637 into Upper and Lower Norfolk Counties and, in 1691, Lower Norfolk County was in turn divided to form Princess Anne County. By 1700, the total population of Tidewater Virginia is estimated to have been over 80,000 and significant westward and southward migration due to overcrowding and lack of land was already underway.

He died before Feb 1776 in Chatham County, North Carolina.

John evidently was married twice, first to Elizabeth Hiley, by whom he had 5 children, and then to Lucy, whose surname is unknown, by whom he had 4. [Elizabeth probably died after (or during) the birth of her last child in 1755 and] John remarried in 1756. John acquired land in Orange County, North Carolina in 1755 and, between 1756 and 1758, he and his wife Lucy migrated from Norfolk County, Virginia to Orange County, North Carolina. Of the children from his first marriage, John and Mary [Ashcroft] appear to have also immigrated to North Carolina (John is listed in the 1775 will, along with Abner, William, Ambrose, and Jesse, all of whom were born in North Carolina, along with Mary Ashcroft, wife of John Ashcroft). The other Virginia children are not mentioned in the will, which may indicate they were left with family in Virginia or died before 1775.

At this time, Orange County (which had been created in 1752) was huge...encompassing all or portions of today's Chatham, Guilford, Wake, Caswell, Alamance, and Durham counties. At that time, Orange County was still the "frontier". John acquired significant land holdings in Orange County: September 1755.....210 acres (sold to Andrew McBrown in 1758) September 1758.....210 acres from Earl of Granville June 1759................100 acres purchased from James Clarke October 1761...........698 acres (Land Grant No. 368) July 1770..................217 acres on the west side of the Eno River purchased from Samuel Allen In February 1776, his will (dated November 16, 1775) was "proven" in the County Court, Chatham County, North Carolina, indicating that he had died shortly before that date. [Note: Chatham County was formed in 1771 from Orange County...John evidently settled in a part of Orange County that became Chatham County. Land sale records indicate that he settled near the Fearrington plantation, just south of the current border between Orange and Chatham counties.] Migration from Virginia to North Carolina in the 18th century was common...North Carolina, except for its eastern coastline, was the "frontier". When colonial Virginia is discussed, most think of it in terms of small widely scattered communities clustered around a rude fort. While this may have been true in the first days, it was certainly not true in the late 17th century. By 1700, there were more than 80,000 persons living in the Tidewater area of Virginia and 20,000 more had arrived by 1717. This increasing population, the choking hand of the Colonial government on the production of tobacco, and the ever- present hunger for cheap land drove both the second generation settlers and the new immigrants westward, spreading out across the Piedmont of Virginia. As this land filled, the next move was southward into North Carolina. During the 1740s, the proprietary governor of the Granville District of North Carolina began to issue grants to Quakers and others from the tidewater counties of Virginia, attracting them into the northern half of NC. By 1750, the "Upper Road" became an important wagon route for southbound migrations into that portion of NC. Land grants, originally available from the Lords Proprieters, were offered by the State of North Carolina up until about 1770.

John married (1) Mary Hiley Mary Hiley Mary Hiley Mary Hiley in 1749 in Princess Anne County, Virginia. Mary was born in 1727 in Princess Anne County, Virginia. She died before 1756 in Princess Anne County, Virginia. They had the following children:

10 F i. Mary Brown Mary Brown Mary Brown Mary Brown was born about 1749 in Princess Anne County, Virginia. She died after 1790 in Anson County, North Carolina.

John and Mary had 9 children, all born in North Carolina except for the first child. The 1790 census finds the family living in Anson County, North Carolina

Mary married John Ashcroft John Ashcroft John Ashcroft John Ashcroft about 1770 in Virginia. John was born in 1737 in Virginia. He died in 1818 in Chester County, South Carolina.

John served in the Virginia Militia during the Revolutionary War. Even though it appears that Mary may not have died until as late as 1816, John married Rebecca Scarborough about 1793 in Anson County, North Carolina and the couple had 6 children...three born in Anson County, North Carolina and three born in York County, South Carolina.

Lucy moved with her husband to Orange County, North Carolina after their wedding in Virginia in 1756. Since she was not named in John's 1775 will, it can be assumed that she had died by then. Chatham County was formed in 1771 from Orange County, putting Lucy into the new county.

16. Jesse Brown Jesse Brown Jesse Brown Jesse Brown (John, John, John, Edward) was born about 1763 in Orange County, North

Carolina. He died before 16 May 1831 in Moore County, North Carolina.

Jesse was only 12-13 years old when his father John Brown died. In August 1779, he was apprenticed to Lewis Kirk to learn the trade of "hatter" until he was 16 years old. Chatham County was formed in 1771 from Orange County, putting Jesse into the new county. Jesse and Mary Melton married in 1785 in Moore County where he appears to have moved by this time after selling his land in Chatham County to John Fearington. He served as a juror numerous times between 1788 and 1790 and appears to have had a trade as a "hatter" (since, on February 22, 1791, Stephen Davis was apprenticed to him until November 14, 1794). In 1792, Jesse was appointed Justice of the Peace and served as tax collector of Barrett's District of Moore County. He appears in the Moore County census for 1800, 1810, 1820, and 1830, where he is listed living by himself, Mary having evidently died between 1820 and 1830. He evidently died in early 1831 since, on May 16, 1831, Jesse Brown, Jr. was appointed as Administrator of his father's estate.

Jesse married Mary Melton Mary Melton Mary Melton Mary Melton in 1785 in Moore County, North Carolina. Mary was born about 1765. She died before 1830 in Moore County, North Carolina. They had the following children:

20. John Brown John Brown John Brown John Brown (Jesse, John, John, John, Edward) was born on 18 Feb 1795 in Moore

County, North Carolina. He died on 21 May 1860 in Montgomery County, North Carolina. He was buried in John Brown Family Cemetery, Love Joy Road, Ophir Township, Montgomery, North Carolina.

In 1820, there is a census record for John Brown living in Moore County, North Carolina. In 1830, the census finds John Brown and his family living in Moore County, North Carolina and lists 2 males less 5 years old [Robin and Jesse], on male 5-10 years old [Nathaniel], one male 30-40 years old [John], one female less than 5 years old [Nancy], and one female 20-30 years old [Sarah]. Sarah's father, Nathaniel Tucker, moved from Moore County to (now) Union Township, Randolph County, North Carolina and sometime after 1830, John and Sarah followed. In 1840, the census finds the family

1 July 2011 Brown and Luther Families of Randolph County, North Carolina Page 8

living in the Southern Division, Randolph County, North Carolina [in Union Township, 4-5 miles west of Seagrove] and includes 1 male 40-50 years old [John], 1 female 30-40 years old [Sarah], 1 female 15-20 years old [Nancy], 1male 19015 years old [Robin], 2 males 5-10 years old [William and Pinkney], and 1 male under 5 years old [Thomas Young]. An entry in John Brown's Bible states "Jessie Brown was born the 20th day of October 1825". Since Jesse does not appear in the 1840 census, it can be assumed he died young. In 1840, the census lists John Brown living in South Division, Randolph County, North Carolina. John and Sarah followed Nathaniel Tucker, Sarah's father when he moved to Randolph County and lived near him in what is now Union Township, just west of Seagrove. After Nathaniel died, John and Sarah moved a few miles south into Ophir Township, Montgomery County, North Carolina where John purchased about 200 acres. The 1850 N.C. Census for Montgomery County, North Carolina lists Dwelling 639 and Family 641 as follows: Brown, John age 55 male farmer born NC Brown, Sarah age 47 female born NC Brown, Nancy age 26 female born NC Brown, William age 18 male laborer born NC Brown, Pinckney S. age 15 male laborer born NC Brown, Thomas Y. age 11 male born NC The 1860 Census, Mortality Schedule, Montgomery County, North Carolina lists the death of John Brown, male, May 1860, farmer. John, along with his children Nancy, William, and Thomas Young, lived in the triangle north of Troy, Montgomery, North Carolina formed by modern highways NC 109 on the west, NC 134 on the east, and the Randolph County line on the north, on Love Joy Road about a mile south of Flint Hill Crossroads. The Brown's were close neighbors of the Callicutt's [see Pleasant Calvin Callicutt]. John is buried in a family cemetery on Love Joy Road, Ophir Township, Montgomery County on his original 200 acre property. This cemetery is located at 35 degrees 27' 28.82"N/79 degrees 55'52.81"W.

John married Sarah Tucker Sarah Tucker Sarah Tucker Sarah Tucker daughter of Nathaniel Tucker and Martha Lawrence. Sarah was born in 1803/1804. She died after 1870 in Montgomergy County, North Carolina. She was buried in John Brown Family Cemetery, Ophir Township, Montgomery, North Carolina.

Sarah was the daughter of Nathaniel Tucker (1777-1838) and Martha P. Lawrence (1776-1855). Nathaniel Tucker was a prominent farmer in Montgomery and Randolph Counties of North Carolina. He served as Captain of the 6th Company, 4th Regiment, 1st Brigade of the North Carolina Militia during the War of 1812. The 1870 Census, Population Schedule (24 Aug 1870), Ophir Township, Montgomery County (Page 9, line 12, dwelling no. 66): Wm. Brown, age 38; Sarah Brown, age 67; Nancy Brown, age 48; Mary Brown, age 27; Enoch Brown, age 9, Margaret Brown, age 3; and Sarah Brown, age 1. This record indicates that Sarah, a widow, was living with her son William and daughter Nancy at the time.

Robin H. Brown appears in the 1850 Randolph County census as a lawyer and as married. He is also found in the 1860-1900 census lists for Randolph County. There are no records of a marriage or any children. The Nathaniel Brown Cemetary is located on the property at 1485 Brownstone Hills Drive, Asheboro, Randolph, North Carolina, in the Brownstone Hills subdivision off NC 42 east of Asheboro (between Browers Chapel Road and Fleta Brown Road).

27. Nathaniel Brown Nathaniel Brown Nathaniel Brown Nathaniel Brown (John, Jesse, John, John, John, Edward) was born on 25 Dec 1821 in

Moore County, North Carolina. He died on 25 Sep 1900 in Grant Township, Randolph County, North Carolina. He was buried in Nathaniel Brown Cemetary, Asheboro, Randolph, North Carolina.

Nathaniel was evidently named in honor of his maternal grandfather, Nathaniel Tucker.

Nat and Susannah were married by and at the home of Wesley Owen, near Seagrove, Randolph, North Carolina, moving to the Brower's Chapel area of Randoplh County shortly thereafter. The 1850 census records for Randolph County, North Carolina list Nat and his wife, but no children (Census entry 160). Nat farmed over 700 acres east of Asheboro, often hiring hands to plow and harvest. He was a Justice of the Peace and in 1851 was appointed to the District School Committee. Nat and Susannah attended the First Methodist Church in Asheboro, making the Sunday trip to town by horse and buggy. The Nathaniel Brown Cemetary is located on the property at 1485 Brownstone Hills Drive, Asheboro, Randolph, North Carolina, in the Brownstone Hills subdivision off NC 42 east of Asheboro (between

Browers Chapel Road and Fleta Brown Road). Nathaniel shows up in the Randloph County census for 1850 (page 20), 1860 (page 19), 1870 (page 20), 1880 (page 105), and 1900 (page 12) The 1880 census for Randolph County (page 105) records that Dicy Cole (age 78) was living with Nat and Susannah, along with a niece named Margaret (age 19) and a servant (James Alford, age 23) who lived in a small cabin behind the main house. Since Rafe Cole died in 1862, care for his mother-in-law would have fallen to Susannah and Nathaniel. [Note: Randolph was divided into 13 townships in 1868 and the Brown family was located, for the most part, in Grant Township at the time. After 1880, some of the area in which the family lived changed from Grant Township to Asheboro Township.]

Nathaniel married Susannah Cole Susannah Cole Susannah Cole Susannah Cole daughter of Raford Cole and Dicy Wright on 18 Oct 1849 in Seagrove, Randolph, North Carolina. Susannah was born on 30 Nov 1828 in Why Not, Randolph, North Carolina. She died on 18 May 1909 in Grant Township, Randolph County, North Carolina. She was buried in Nathaniel Brown Cemetery, Asheboro, Randolph, North Carolina.

Susannah's father, Raford (Rafe or Raeford/Raiford or Raphard) Cole, was a member of the famous pottery family of Seagrove, Randolph, North Carolina who started Cole Pottery.

Clark Cox section, Asheboro, route 1. The late William Stevenson taught school at Poplar Ridge several successive years, walking from his home near Giles Chapel, a distance of around five miles having to leave, during short winter days, before daylight and return home after dark. He carried a lantern in the morning until dawn, leaving it at a home on the way and getting it on his homeward jour-ney. Isaac Brown war typical of the times, securing as he did sufficient education to make him a useful citizen. He married Isabella Henry, of the same community; to this union there are nine surviving sons anti daughters: J. R. and Elsie Brown, Asheboro, Misses Effie, Sudie and, Fleta Brown, at home; Fletcher, Raleigh; Mrs. J. M. Buffalo, Mrs. Paul Wheeler, Durham; Mrs. Colbert Winningham, of Star. Rev.

Enoch was born at the home of John Brown, his grandfather. In 1870, the census finds Enoch (7) living with his mother in her brother William's household in Ophir, Montgomery, North Carolina. The 1880 census finds Enoch (15) living with his mother in her bother Pinkney's household in Uwharrie, Montgomery, North Carolina. Sometime after 1900, Enoch moved to Winston-Salem, Forsyth, North Carolina. No census records are found, but it is probably that he moved there to work in the tobacco factories. Enoch married Mary Hill in 1923 at the age of 78. He may have been married previously, but no records have yet been found.

35. Reuben Brown Reuben Brown Reuben Brown Reuben Brown (Nathaniel, John, Jesse, John, John, John, Edward) was born on 7 Jan 1854 in Randolph County, North Carolina. He died on 13 Apr 1924 in Grant Township, Randolph, North Carolina. He was buried in Browers Chapel UMC Cemetary, Randolph County, North Carolina.

A family story is that Reuben met Mary Jane while delivering a load of whiskey to Montgomery County. On the way home, he picked up a load of pottery to sell, but the wagon ride was so rough almost all of it was broken. He stopped at the creek at Humble's Mill and threw the broken pieces in the creek. [The visit to Montgomery County could have been to his uncle Thomas Young Brown (who was also Mary Jane's uncle by marriage, having married her father's sister Lydia Callicott) or his uncle William Brown, both of whom lived near Ophir and the Callicutt family.] Like his father, Reuben became a farmer and beekeeper, inheriting 230 acres of his father's property on the east side of Asheboro (on Browers Chapel Road, about 1 mile south of NC 42, in Asheboro Township). The 1880 Randolph County census lists Reuben Brown, 26, farmer; Mary J., 22, wife; Millis, 7/12 (7 months old); and William McDaniel, 12, servant. The 1900 census lists "Rubin" as head of household, 46 years old, married 22 years. Reuben died of diabetes and heart failure (diagnosed as "dropsy" at the time) and is buried with his wife at Browers Chapel UMC Church. [Note: Randolph was divided into 13 townships in 1868 and the Brown family was located, for the most part, in Grant Township at the time. After 1880, some of the area in which the family lived changed from Grant Township to Asheboro Township.]

1 July 2011 Brown and Luther Families of Randolph County, North Carolina Page 15

The following was Reuben's obit, printed in "The Courier-Tribune", Asheboro, North Carolina, on April 17, 1924: "MR. REUBEN BROWN DIED SUNDAY MORNING AT HIS HOME ON STAR ROUTE

"About 4:00 o'clock Sunday morning, April 13th, Mr. Reuben Brown died at his home on Asheboro Star Route, following an illness of several months. The immediate cause of his death was dropsy. The funeral and burial ser-vices were held at Browers Monday afternoon at 2:00 o'clock. About a year ago, while Rev. V. M. Stanley,. of Asheboro, was visiting him, he gave him some money and requested that he conduct the funeral services. Mr. Brown was about 70 years old, and the son of Nathaniel Brown, also of Randolph County. Two brothers, Thomas and Isaac Brown of Asheboro Route survive, also his wife, Mary Callicutt, daughter of Pleasant Callicutt of Montgomery County. The surviving children are Millis Brown, Asheboro; Mrs. W. W. Brown, Hugh T., Rexie, Penn, and Miss Lillie, of Asheboro Star Route; Mrs. Ethel Koontz, High Point; Mrs. Bertha Cagle, Seagrove."

Reuben married Mary Jane Callicutt Mary Jane Callicutt Mary Jane Callicutt Mary Jane Callicutt daughter of Pleasant Calvin Callicott and Leah Ann Sarah Revel about 1878. Mary was born on 16 Nov 1858 in Ophir Township, Montgomery County, North Carolina. She died on 27 Oct 1940 in Asheboro, Randolph, North Carolina. She was buried in Browers Chapel UMC Cemetery, Randolph, North Carolina.

The Callicutts came to Montgomery County from Virginia after the Revolutionary War. For details on Mary Jane's ancestors, see "Callicott Connections" by John T. Callicotte (P.O. Box 8387, St. Petersburg, FL 33738), 1984, (Published by Gateway Press, Inc., 1001 N. Calvert Street, Baltimore, MD 21202), pages 16-18, 24-29, 43-45, 549-553, 590-593, and 608-610. While her father spelled is name "Callicott", Mary Jane and her siblings assumed the spelling of " Callicutt". A family story is that Mary Jane died in 1940 soon after the death of her first born, Millis, due to depression over his death. The following rather strange obit was printed on October 30, 1940 in "The Courier-Tribune", Asheboro, North Carolina: "Seven Members Of Brown Family Die On A Sunday "With the death of Mrs. Mary C. Brown on Sunday, seven members of the family of the late Nathaniel Brawn, grand-father of Zell Brown of Ashe-boro, have died on the Sabbath day. "The first of these was Nathaniel Brown himself. Then his three sons, Reuben, Thomas and Isaac. all died on Sunday. In addition to these deaths, Mrs. Reuben Brown and Mrs. Isaac Brown both died on Sabbath days. A daughter of Nathaniel Brown married A. D. Hamilton, and he, too, died on a Sunday. Mrs. Mary C. Brown, who died Sunday. was the widow of Reu-ben Brown and was the seventh member of the family to die on a Sunday."

North Carolina. She died on 15 Apr 1907 in Asheboro, Randolph, North Carolina. She was buried in Browers Chapel UMC Church, Randolph, North Carolina.

Artiemicia's unusual name is actually a misspelling of the name Artemesia, from the name Artemis, the Greek name for Diana, the Roman Goddess of Light, Moon Goddess, Queen of Heaven, Lunar Virgin (note that to the Romans, “virgin” meant a woman who had never been married or pregnant, not a woman who had never had sex), Goddess of Wildwood, Divine Huntress, Protector of Animals, Lady of Beasts. Diana was the Greek Goddess of the Amazons Artie's lengthy obit was printed in "The Courier-Tribune", Asheboro, North Carolina, as follows: "Artiemicia Brown daughter of Reuben and Mary Brown died April 15th, 1907 age 16 years 2 months and 11 days. "She leaves a father and mother, four brothers and five sisters and a host of friends to mourn her loss. The family in their bereavement have the sympathy of the entire community, "Miss Brown was sick but a few days. On Sunday evening she appeared to be better, but the end came at the early dawn Monday morning the Death angel led her gently away from her loved ones into the silent land beyond. She will be missed in the Sunday school, and in the home, for she was a good girl, kind and obedient and loved by all who knew her. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. Alson Humble, and was attended by a large number of people, showing the esteem in which she was held in the community. The body was laid to rest in Browers Cemetery. It is sad to see one so young and fair taken away just in the bloom of youth and in the first flush of young womanhood when the world held so many enchantments and promises fore the future. But we must bow to the will of Him who doeth all things well. She left us in the spring time of line and in the spring of the Seasons, when all nature was reanimated with life. She loved the spring time, the wild scenes of nature, the birds the flowers, the deep shadows of the forest and all the display of the God of nature in its manifold beauties, no more will she wonder with her little sisters who were her constant care and pluck the wild flowers and wreathe them in garlands. "She is gone from the scenes of her home and her ourth to dwell by the river of Life when the flowers never fade and the smile of the Lord is the feast of the soul. "There is no death! The stars go down To rise upon some fairer shore; And bright in heaven's jeweled crown they shine forevermore. And ever near us, though unseen, The dear immortal spears tread; For all the boundless universe is life There is no death."

1 July 2011 Brown and Luther Families of Randolph County, North Carolina Page 22

Worth Street. The family has lived in Asheboro at 351 Worth Street, in the house that Millis built in 1929, from 1930 onward, but also had an 80 acre farm east of town on Old Cedar Falls Road, where they raised tobacco, vegetables, etc. and maintained livestock pens and barns. The farm was old after Millis' death. Millis started several businesses...both Mary Brown Parker and Gordon Brown report that he had no interest in finding a "job". He became a farmer, raising primarily tobacco, and animal trader (horses and mules). While Norma Brown was religious and opposed the consumption of alcohol, Millis was known for keeping a jar or two of moonshine in the basement of the house for the occasional "snort". According to Gordon Brown, by the mid-1930's, Millis fell onto hard times financially and both Luther and Mary were working in local hosiery mills to help support the family. Millis Jr. was also working and contributing to the family support until his marriage in 1936. Millis was killed by accident...a horse kicked while he was loading animals and he died from the associated head injury (cerebral hemorrhage). According to his obit in the Greensboro Daily News, "…a pole accidentally fell and struck him on his head, fracturing the skull" while he was "…aiding Ben McDowell in moving some horses from a stable to a farm…."

Brown, 83, of 351 Worth Street, Asheboro. died this morning at 3:30 in the Randolph Hospital following an extended illness. "A native of Montgomery [sic], she had been a resident of Asheboro for 41 years. She was the widow of Millis M. Brown, and a member of the First United Methodist Church. "Funeral services will be conducted at 3 p.m. Thursday at Pugh Funeral Home Chapel by the Rev. Dwight Millis, pastor of First United Methodist Church, and burial will follow in Oaklawn Cemetery. The family will see friends at the funeral home Wednesday evening from 7 to 9. "Surviving are two daugh-ters, Mrs. Robert (Mary) Parker of Asheboro, Mrs. H. W. (O'Berira) Stanford of

He never married and lived at the Worth Street family home until his death. After the death of his father in 1940, Luther assumed the role of primary caretaker of his mother and the household. Luther served in the US Army during WW II (1943-1946), achieving the rank of Staff Sargeant while serving in a Weather Squadron of the U.S. Army Air Force. He was stationed at Chofer Army Air Base, Tokyo, Japan when he was mustered out in Februray 1946. After his death, a list of "places I have been" was found and he listed New Calidonia; the Admiralty Islands; Hollandia, Dutch New Guinea;, and Biak Island, Netherlands East Indies. Except for his military service in WW II, Luther worked at Bossong Mills most of his adult life. In the 1960's, he purchased approximately 25 acres from Zell Brown on Buffalo Ford Road, east of Asheboro in Grant Township (very near the original Nathaniel Brown farm), starting a thriving greenhouse tomato business.
