CRITTENDEN [signature] NOTES: This ENOCH BROWN, born about 1815 in Tennessee, may have been the brother of Michael Brown, who named a son Enoch C. Brown. The older Enoch Brown was on the 1840 and 1850 Fentress Co., TN Census when that county actually met the border of Clinton Co., KY. The birth of a daughter, Marine, was recorded in Clinton Co., KY in 1855. His wife was Susanna (a.k.a. Susan or Anna) HARMON. Enoch Brown and Susanna Brown have not been found on the 1860 or 1870 census but she was back in Fentress Co., TN by 1880 as a widow with children still at home. The census does not indicate she owned any property in 1880. The only RIGNEY on the 1850 Clinton Co., Kentucky Census was
William, born about 1805 in Virginia. (District #1, Page 172-A)  |
