not far from the Alabama line, so i want to check Alabama AG Browns as well as MS.
On the stone it has A G Brown born FEB 20, 1827 died in the CS Army June 17th 1862.
Ok, i pulled up the usual Suspects here, the 9th MS CAV, the 24th Ms Inf CO A Gaines Warriors, that my SCV Camp #2215 gets it name from, and bam there he is, in the 24th, sounded easy right? wrong, Today one of the Researchers on Find a Grave sent me this.

Of a memorial for A G Brown and his wife in Sunset Cemetery
Richton (Perry County)
Perry County
Mississippi, USA
On this Find a Grave Memorial # 35461474 it has the birth year for AG Brown as 1845, our stone says 1827. and this researcher suggested our stone was the old stone for him, number one the birth years dont match, and number 2 i seriously doubt someone removed a stone in perry county, and hauled it by 4 by 4 and foot, to way back in that damn swamp were we went.
Do i have 2 AG Browns here? is this another case of a family making a tombstone or ordering one with the wrong info attached? We are finding stone after stone Headstone application on fold 3, that say the stones are shipped to Leakesville, but the stones are no where to be found. The A G Brown stone we found, all though made similiar, is not an official CSA stone. I guess my question would be, what AG Brown or who if you prefer, was born in 1827, and died in 1862 and was burried in Greene County MS?
The cemetery if you can call it that, contained 3 graves, and was found way in the woods close to the Chickaswahay River between Leakesville, MS and State Line MS.
There were 3 graves
1.Columbus Elliot son of GW and LM born 2-26-1872 and died 3-10-1885 We believe this to be the son of George Elliot CSA soldier who is burried here.
2. MJ Williams daughter of B and M Williams 8-3-1854 to 11-23-1863
3. AG Brown 2-20-1827 died 7-17-1862.
