Stephen Taylor and Joanna Porter/ Sarah White

We seem to have a problem here with the Taylor line as to who married who from here on down. He could not have married Joanna Porter as you have stated because he died on September 18, 1665 Hatfield Mass with his brother-in-law during an indian attack. This has been a problem for the Taylor line and I would love to chat with you about it and hopefully come to some conculsion. Please e-mail me with a telephone number so we can chat on my dime provided your in US or Canada.
Sincerely,
Danielle Hergenrader

Although I am not a polygamist I feel that the freedom of religion in the United States constitution should protect ALL... religions, even polygamists. I feel that the world is becoming more open and understanding and someday polygamists will be able to practice freely! I am doing a paper n polygamy for my law class. I just wanted to show my support.

Melissa Lampman Brown

Hi, My name is Kim Draney Weston, I am the daughter of Norman Elmo Draney. Grandaughter to Melissa Lampman Brown. I sent some pictures in, along with some updates, on my father Norman Draney Melissa and Elmo Draney\'s youngest son. I had hoped that they would be posted on the site. I would like the updates to be known. My father was born July 18, 1936 in Ogden, Utah. He married my mother Barbara Lou Brown, daughter to Richard William Brown and Esther Irene College, on September 21, 1955. My father died in Glendale, Arizona, on September 24, 1984, the victim of a drunk driver. My mother passed away May 31, 2006. I hope someone can contact me or advise me as to how I might be able to post photos and information it would be great. I have photos of my father\'s siblings, my Aunt Viola and Uncle Gene, that I noticed were not on the site also better pictures of my Grandmother and Grandfather. And just as a curious note, since I never knew my Mom\'s dad, he too was the victim of a drunk driver when she was only 3....but, he was also a Brown...does anyone know if he is an ancestor of Captain James Brown? I imagine he was but don\'t know the facts.
Sincerely,
Kim Draney Weston

Editor:
Hi Kim, Thank you for your e-mail. You can find a little bit of information on the webpage about your parents. You will find that Barbara Lou Brown is the great-great-granddaughter of Ebenezer Brown, one of the co-founders of Draper, Utah. Ebenezer's father and grandfather are from Kirkcudbright, Scotland in the early 1700's so no connection to Captain James Brown, unless it is an indirect sibling connection that I haven't found as yet. You typed that Barbara died in 2006, did you mean 2005? What is her birthdate in 1935? Please send pictures to LucyGenealogy@hotmail.com. This chat room software does not provide for attachments. If you send a biography I can make a full webpage for your parents. Do you have a better photo of Melissa Lampman Brown and/or her husband Willard Elmo Draney? I would love to receive these for this site. I have more information on your family on my PAF file. I am trying to find time and information on how to attach my PAF to this website, password accessible only for the privacy of living family members. Stay on the look out for that possibility.


Hi Lucy, Yes I have better pictures of Melissa and Elmo, I will forward them to you...Yes I did mean 2005. My Mother was born in 1936, in Lehi, Utah...Thank you so much for the information on my Mother's side of the family...My husband has teased me for years that we are imbred... LOL...not funny.
Thank you again,
Kim Draney Weston

Family Histories

Dear family members:
I am very concerned about Jim Klein copyrighting all the family Histories and Pictures that we as a family have sent to him for the building up of the Brown Family Organization in good faith. I know I did not give him permission to copyright the information I sent him. I also do not like the fact that he has copyrighted this information to himself personally and not to the Brown Family Organization. By copyrighting this information to himself he has taken away all our rights to our own property.
I was also upset to find that the movie we saw at the reunion nor the book he told us about was on the disk he made us sign for. What is he going to do with this movie none of us have? Why did he make this movie if he wasn't going to share it with the family?
What are your thoughts on this?

Stephen Fairchild Wilson

E-mail to the webmaster was not able to be relayed to the webmaster of this site so I'm hoping you get this message from here. My goodness what a wonderful website you have! My search for information on what appears to be an erroneous Adams (from Haynie back to Wilson then Phelps then Adams) hook-up, led me to your site where I discovered the typed biography of Stephen Fairchild Wilson, husband of Sarah Jane Brown. I have a copy of the original journal entries and was wondering how I might obtain the typed biography in full. ??? Thanks for any help in this matter that you may be able to provide.
