James D. Brown

NC > GA

b. somewhere in NC in Aug 1796

James D.(Duncan?) Brown was born somewhere in NC in Aug 1796. He is on the 1850 census of Irwin Co, GA, having married Elizabeth Hornsby (Nelms?) in 1849. There is evidence that Elizabeth was his second wife and a son of his first marriage was another Ezekiel.

In 1860, James D. is in Decatur Co, GA.

Since my great grandfather was a James Duncan, I am guessing that was also his father's middle name. I sure would like to connect my James D. to a family in NC.

I would also like to connect with any descendents of a James D. Brown in Worth Co, GA, as they seem to be related.
