• BROWN, HOLT, SEATON
• I am searching for any information that I can find on Henry Brown. His parent's names, when and where he died. He was the second husband of Nancy Ann Seaton Davis Brown. Nancy Ann's first husband, John Davis along with her brother, William Patton Seaton were killed during the Civil War in Cocke County, Tennessee by another cousin of theirs, Jesse Holt. My great-grandfather was Henry Brown and he was appointed administrator over the estate of Andrew Jackson Seaton. Jackson died before his wife Susannah Wilhoit Seaton. There was some trouble of sort's there, according to some very old almost illiegable records that Goldene Fillers Burgner sent to me, concerning the estate being settled. I feel as if Henry left Greene County, and went to Warm Springs, NC aka Hot Springs...as I found something of him being on a 1880 Census there, unless this was another Henry Brown. When I checked the Census, I couldn't find him. Nancy Ann and her children were listed in the 1880 Greene County Census....and, Henry isn't buried there in Greene County with Nancy Ann. Please contact me with any information....even if it is bad news! Thelma Waddell Wisecarver P.O. Box 267 Cleveland, NC 27013 1 - {704} 278-9382  Thanks In Advance For ANY Information!
