BROWN posted by Gladys M. Brown on Sunday, October 17, 1999: I'm looking for African American Brown, and Talbots, from Social Circle, Walton Co., GA. My ggrandfather was Charlie Brown, my ggrandfather was Berry Brown (farmer) m. Hexie Talbot in Social Circle. They had 8 children, 4 were born in Social Circle: Broadus b. 1912, Flossie, Phulus (my grandmother), and Alberta. Thaddeus, Gartrell, Inez and Celeste were born in Cairo, Grady Co.(Decatur Co. at the time). Charlie had a part Cherokee African Native wife, Pia (?), and Hexie Talbot had a brother called "Doc" Talbot. They migrated to Cairo, GA. but their people are all from Social Circle and thereabouts. I don't know any of them and would appreciate any information on obtaining some, federal or state census. Are there directories for Social Circle and how far back do they go? Thank you in advance, G.M. Brown
