I need information about John M. Brown and the family of Nelson Brown. John Brown is the son of Nelson and Mary A. Brown. He was born around 1838 (supposedly in Athens County, Ohio) and died around 1910 in Mason County, WV. He may have married Lucy Margaret Cooper around 1859 in Gallia County, Ohio and they had a son, William Anderson Brown in 1859 in Leon, Mason County, WV. Nelson was supposedly born in 1814 in Pennsylvania and Mary A. was born in 1825 in NJ. Mary died in Leon in 1883 and Nelson died in Leon in 1889. I think that my John M. Brown is the son of Nelson and Mary, but I am not sure since I can't find a birth certificate to confirm it. I have letters sent into the Mason county offices to have them search for one, but I was hoping that someone on the internet might also know. Thanks.
