<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Just had to respond to your message to Maragret
when I saw the surname Crabtree at the beginning of your list. My maternal
great-grandmother was Phoebe Malinda Crabtree, married to George Washington
Arnold. Phoebe's parents were George Crabtree and Fairlotta "Lottie" Edgar
Smallomon Crabtree. Her grandparents were Job B Crabtree ll and Malinda
Smith Crabtree. Her great-grandparents were Job Crabtree and Rebecca
Smyth. Beyond that I am not sure. My husband and I, along with my
mother, attended the Crabtree Reunion in the town of Crabtree this past
summer. It was there I began to put together my Crabtree line. A lot
of research has been done by many on the Crabtrees and I hope someday to get in
on some of it. The reunion was so much fun and a good start. Lately
I have been spending most of my research time on the Arnold side of the family
but want to get going on the Crabtrees soon. Would love to share
information with you or anyone who is willing.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>Hello Margaret,<BR><BR>My interest in the Brown family is
because my great-aunt Emma Annetta Smith was the daughter of Francis Hannah
Brown. Emma was a half-sister to my grandfather, Corwin J. Smith. So the
connection is not direct but I like to gather information on peripheral lines.
I have appreciated the help you have given and similar help from
others.<BR><BR>And about a Comer relationship? Sure, but not me. It is my
husband who descends from those Comers. Joseph Comer and Elizabeth Hussey are
his 5xgreat-grandparents. His line descends through their son, Stephen. <?smaller><?smaller><BR><?/smaller><BR>My surnames: CRABTREE, POWELL, PRINE,

<BLOCKQUOTE>Looking for more information on this family, Silas Brown, wife
Jane Ann Blair-Hiatt, children included a daughter, Francis Hannah Brown. I
believe Francis Hannah may have first been married to a man by the name of
Davis. I would especially like to know who was this Mr. Davis, and what
happened to him. Francis 2nd married to my gr-great grandfather, Thomas C.
Smith in 1864. They had one child, a daughter and were then
divorced.<BR><BR>Thanks,
