I am looking for any info that can be gained about the Brown family that my 2nd Great-Grandfather Patrick T. "P.T." Brown and Mary Jane "Molly" Chance (1861-1946) belonged to.

As we have it, P.T. Brown (we think the "T' stands for "Thomas" but can't prove it) was born about 1853 and died in 1904. He married Mary Jane "Molly" Chance -- daughter of a John T. Chance -- about 1877. They had Jessie Milton Brown, 5 other sons, and 5 daughters. Jesse married Hilda Elizabeth Page (1897-1982). Jesse's son, Benjamin Frank Brown(1922-2002), was my paternal grandfather; he married Opal Inez Simpson (1927-1984).

When P.T. died, "Molly" took the kids into to Richmond county by train to find work and later remarried Charles Vencent Lemon (1858-1934). We have no knowledge of P.T.'s siblings or parents.

Other known relevant counties in GA for these people are Emanuel, Washington, and Johnson.

I am seeking anything and anyone that can help or is anyway associated with any of these people or their family members.
