My great great grandmother Lavina Brown was born in Overton County in 1823. The family moved to McLean County, Illinois in 1826 or 1827. Lavina's parent's names were William and I think Frances (but I can't prove it). There is a cemetery record for a William Brown 1778 - 1845 and a Frances Brown 1780 - 1840 in Woodford County, Illinois and I strongly suspect that these are Lavina's parents. The Brown Family members were friends with the Carlock Family and there were some intermarriages. The 1820 Overton County census shows two William Browns. I don't know which one is my ancestor. I have records indicating that my William Brown was a "pioneer preacher from Tennessee." I am seeking whatever family and land ownership records might be available from Overton County. Thanks in advance for any help you may provide.
