Hello Greg,
Thanks for the reply to my posting. Unfortunately, I don't have any info on James M. Brown's parents. (one of the things I am trying to find out). It seems that all the children listed below were fathered by James M. Brown Sr. and Dolly. Apparently he died at sea sometime after 1825 and Dolly remarried Nymphas Stacy in 1829. Some of the children (if not all) were subsequently adopted by Nymphas Stacy and some took the Stacy name while others kept the Brown surname. James Monroe (or Munroe) Brown Jr. 1820-1907, (my great-great grandfather), took Stacy as his last name.
What all this means to me is that apparently I don't have any Stacy blood but Brown. I had the Stacy line going all the way back into England but now I would like to get the Brown line.
Any help you can give me would be most appreciated. If I find anything more I'll let you know.
