Personal Family History written by his daughter Margaret Brown about 1873 sent to me by Brownie Mortlock mentions her ancestors back to James Beckett and William Porter. Margaret mentions their hard trip to Platte Co, Missouri where her mother and younger sister died. She stayed with her grandparents when her father returned to Virginia. He remarried and the step-mother was mean. She was beaten and stayed with different cousins.
He is variously said to have a middle initial of A or T but I have not found any used in primary documents.
