I am going to assume his middle initial stands for Thomas. His father's name was Thomas Brown his mother was Sarah Murray. All the documents I have found lists her as Murray, but on F-A-G someone has her listed as Morris. I am not sure where he and his wife are buried, for now. I hope to find out more soon. This is my 3rd great-grandfather.
James T. Brown was born in 1812, in Caswell county, North Carolina, a son of Thomas Brown and Sarah "Salley" Morris.
On February 17, 1831, in Stokes county, North Carolina, James married Elizabeth "Bidda" Massey, born 1814, in Caswell county, a daughter of John Massey and Nancy Hastings. Elizabeth's brother, Nathan Massey, married James' sister, Mary "Polly" Brown.
James and Elizabeth became the parents of as many as ten children. He moved his family to Carrol county, Tennessee, where he was listed as a farmer. James became ill with pneumonia and succumbed to the disease after three months, in October, 1849. This information comes from the image of the Mortality Schedule, available to view on FamilySearch.org
Elizabeth (Massey) Brown survived her husband and died in 1880, in her mid-sixties.
