Notes for NANCY BROWN:

Tennessee Divorces 1797-1858 compiled by Gale W. Bamman & Debbie Spero p. 29

" John W. Edwards, 1827, Giles County. John was married in 1812 to Nancy Brown of Giles County. They lived together about 6 years and had 4 children, during which time they would disagree and part for short intervals. About 1817 he could no longer take his wife's insults and violent temper and so made over all his property to George Brown, the father of his wife. He gave her nine negroes and other property. John, however, was deceived by his father-in-law and was stripped of every piece of property he possessed. Nancy filed her petition for divorce in Giles County in 1826. He intended to let her have the divorce, but before they came to court she had ran off with Jason Hopkins. Petition is accompanied by the signatures of 116 persons."
