In Virgie Collier Speights files, information from Faye Speights, of birth, death, and marriage of their seven children.
28. GILBERT BROWN
BIRTH: Not listed on 1850 census so born later than that date
Baptisimal date is earlier than marriage date. Could this be a child by a previous marriage or possibly the daughter of a second John Sowerby at this location. Possibly a father?
BIRTH: DOB of son indicates Mary Jane's birthdate will be between 1868 (she would have been 14 at his birth) and 1827 (she would have been 55) The most likely date of her birth, assuming she was 25 at his birth, would be 1857
BIRTH: A possible census record of 1860 indicates a birth year of 1857
Could this 1860 Census record be Mary Jane? - It indicates a birth year of 1857
