War of 1812 Lookup / HELP
I sure could use some help from one of the generous kindhearted ANGELS on this web site.
I have an old handwritten Family History (no sources) that states " John BROWNserved in War of 1812, was taken prisoner, and beaten badly. John went West, having lived in GA., ALA., MISS., and ARK. A son was born in 1802 in SC, another child was born in 1810 in GA; another son was born in 1820, one source says GA, another source says AL.
The 1850 US Census Lauderdale Co., MS Southern District ; Pg 119 (written) (taken 11/29/1850 & 12/12/1850)
Fam# 857
John A. Brown M 65 Farmer SC
Sarah F 66 SC
James M 13 or 12 MS
Henry M 29 Atty. at law AL
I believe this is the John BROWN I am looking for. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
