Curious if you have found the connection with the Gideon Brown families that were also in Missouri with branches to NW USA, Indiana, etc.There is likely a connection with the Brown families from Indiana to Texas Co., MO then to Montague County, Texas, then crossing into southern Oklahoma.
There might be more information from the Galveston Daily News that had long columns about the appeals during that 1876- 1879 years. The newspaper is now available through the ancestry.com newspaper collection and also through newspaperarchive.com online.
Have you been able to check the tax records at the Montague Co., courthouse for those years? There should be more information about the families during the Grayson Co. years at that courthouse, too.
The Indiana to Texas Co., MO then Montague Co., TX Brown families belong to some cousins. Have you found a connection with a Gordon family also in Montague Co.?
