Wife of Isaac Brown; some believe her maiden name might have been Mooney. She, it is believed, married Brown in 1828 in Davidson Co., Tennessee. ##DNA appears to connect to a James Mooney as probable father.

Her children all had names drawn from history and classic literature:

i. PTOLEMA PHILADEPHUS BROWN, b. August 30, 1829, Warren County, Tennessee; d. November 02, 1903, Soldier's Home in St. James, Phelps County, Missouri. "Ptolema" = Greek; Many possible individuals but a probable one is the mathematician author of 'Geographia' (ca. 150).* "Philadelphius" = Latinized form of the Greek word for brotherly love.

ii. JUAN FERNANDEZ BROWN, b. 1831, Davidson County, Tennessee; d. March 07, 1854, Texas County, Missouri. "Juan" – may refer to the explorer Juan de Categena with Magellan.*
"Ferdinand" – may refer to the explorer Ferdinand Magellan *

iii. ARCHIMEDES BROWN, b. March 22, 1834, Warren County, Tennessee; d. March 14, 1863, the Civil War in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. "Archimedes" = Ancient Greek mathematician *

iv. SELTICANA BROWN, b. 1834, Tennessee. "Selticana" = No clear historic, literary references discovered. A form may be found in the term 'Sultana' meaning a wife of a Sultan. It could also be in reference to Celtic origins in the family (Scotland comes from the name of a tribe of people from what is now known as Ireland. These "Celts" lived across Europe sharing a common language, customs, and art. Sometimes the name was spelled and pronounced with a soft "S" rather than the harder Greek "K" (Keltoi). If this was true, the name would mean she who pertains to the "Selt". Recent data may suggest this is a mae who was named George S. Brown. More research is neded to clarify this.

v. LYCURGUS BROWN, b. 1835, Warran County, Tennessee; d. May 22, 1887, Macoupin County, Illinois; m. MARTHA P. ARMOUR5, Abt. 1860, Missouri; b. 1840, Illinois. "Lycurgus" – many possible from ancient history, but possible the lawgiver of Sparta (570-730 B.C.)

vi. METROBAR JAMES BROWN, b. 1840, Warren County, Tennessee; m. MARY BROWN; b. 1843, Tennessee. "Metro Barjames" - could actually have been Mithro (Persian mythological figure) and "Bar' in Barjames is Hebrew for 'son of' or 'descendent of' – could we have a clue as to the name of one of his grandparents? One source links Mary to a James Mooney.

vii. MARY A. BROWN, b. December 04, 1843; d. April 17, 1887, Texas County, Missouri. Mary's middle name is unknown but thought to have begun with an "A". Her connection to the Brown's is clear in names of one of her children…Arminda, Theodosia, Ozzia, Facelina Mobley.

viii. ELSINORA ODENSIA BROWN, b. February 21, 1845, Tennessee; d. March 1910, Piaza, Illinois; m. (1) KAYLOR; m. (2) THOMAS MCCOY, 1876, Illinois. Twin to Marcellus. "Elsinora" may be reflection of the place in Shakespeare's Hamlet. "Odensia" may be a form of the Scandinavian deity of "Oden" – as a name it has been found in Norway.

ix. MARCELLUS BROWN, b. February 21, 1845, Tennessee; d. 1933, Macoupin County, Illinois. Twin to Elsinora. "Marcellus" = Roman history; too many to name or list.

x. FASCILINA BROWN, b. April 05, 1847, Warren County, Tennessee; d. April 03, 1885, at home in Vernon County, Missouri; m. REUBEN HIRAM MAIN, March 05, 1866, St. Louis, Missouri; b. Aft. 1840. "Fascilina" = It is suspected this is a Latinized word meaning graceful or agile. Similar names can be found for a few women in Ancient Rome.

xi. MARCIUS SABINUS BROWN, b. November 05, 1849, Rolla, Phelps County, Missouri; d. August 17, 1912, Calera, Bryan county, Oklahoma. "Marcius" and "Sabinus" are both names linked to early Roman history. Marcius a family name of a line of rulers and Sabinus a similar use, as well as the name of a 4th century historian and a 3rd century bishop from Seville.*

xii. LEONIDAS HANNIBAL BROWN, b. 1853, Texas County, Missouri. "Leonidas" = a Spartan ruler who led the charge of the '300' against Persian forces and another was a 3rd century Christian martyr.

xiii. LIBERTADES WARE BROWN, b. 1849, Texas County, Missouri. "Libertades" = Plural form of the Spanish term for liberty. This would have been right after the Mexican American War of 1846. "Ware" = This is likely a reference to Joseph Ware, author of The Emigrant's Guide to New Mexico, California, and Oregon; giving the different overland and sea routes (1849). Actually believed to be the son of Juan F. Brown by father unknown.

DNA evidence seems to connect this woman with the line of James Moony Sr. 1780 who married a Harriette Parnell. James was the son of Hans Jacob Manny 1715-1795 and Catherine Ecker 1717-1795.
