Watson on page 217 The quote is taken from extracts of deed book 27. "p. 236 ELIJAH CARR of Logan Co., Ky., son of ELIAS CARR, deceased, sold his interest in the land mentioned in the preceding deed to EBIN VICK, April 8, 1828." ......................................................... WIFE: Mary L. BROWN BORN: 2 June 1807 in Virginia OTHER MARRIAGES: none known DIED: 17 Feb. 1865 Logan Co., Kentucky FATHER'S NAME AND DATE OF BIRTH: see notes MOTHER'S NAME AND DATE OF BIRTH: see notes NOTES: Mary is buried at: Duncan-Browder Cemetery ----------- I would be willing to bet that Mary's father is Bentley Brown b. between 1770 and 1780 in Virginia and d. in Kentucky between 1836 and 1844. According to the LDS Family search records (Ancestral File): Bentley Brown's parents were Benjamin Brown Jr. and possibly Susanna Jarman. This is interesting because Mary L. Brown probably has a brother named Benjamin. .........................................................
