  Family Record - Francis Marion Brown and Ophelia Alice Jones Brown This image is scanned from a dark copy of a badly worn and folded handwritten document that records significant dates in the family of "Shanghi" Brown and his second wife, Ophelia. It is the source of birth and death information used to create this genealogical record. Unfortunately there are also handwritten notes by other family members when they tried to understand what was written on the document.
