F.	Elsie I. Brown - her headstone in Turtleskin cemetery says she was born on February 1, 1878 and died on August 20, 1902. She married Dr. James “Quitman” Landrum, a dentist in Picayune, MS. She died young and had no children. Quitman Landrum was her cousin and a son of Luke Landrum and Melissa Lewis. Quitman later married Mena Curet in 1904 and had a family listed in another part of this history.
G.	Leonard Wilson Brown - died as an infant. His headstone in Turtleskin cemetery says born on June 21, 1880, and died on August 25, 1880.
H.	Unnamed Brown - died as an infant.
IV.	Sarah “Sally” Brown - according to her headstone in Turtleskin cemetery, she was bom on January 10, 1835, and died on December 11, 1920. The 1850 Hancock County census shows her with parents and bom in the year 1838. Based on this information and other sources, we feel she was probably bom in the year 1836, rather 1835 as her headstone indicates. Sally married James “Jim” Miller after his first wife, Elmira Brown, who was her older sister, died. We have been unable to find her marriage record to James Miller. They probably married sometime before the Hancock County Court House burned in 1853. We did find where Sarah Miller married Joseph Bowles on March 2, 1871. We also found where she married again as “Mrs. Sarah Bowles” to William M. Yarborough on March 13, 1875. Both records are in the Hancock County Court House
Sarah appears in the 1880 census of St. Tammany Parish as “Sarah Yarber,” age
41	(1839) with sons, Warren Miller, age 19 (1861), Thomton Miller, age 17 (1863), both bom in Louisiana. Also listed is daughter, “Mary A. Yarber,” age 5 (1875) bom in Mississippi. This daughter was baptized in Bay St. Louis, and will be discussed later.
Sally, a red-headed woman, lived with Jim Miller somewhere in Honey Island Swamp in northern Hancock County or southern Pearl River County. After she had two or three children, her husband died, and she was left alone in the swamp. In the process of maintaining her existence, she apparently allowed more than one man to share her bed. The rest of her children were fathered by various men, while her last child, Rebecca, was supposedly fathered by Sally’s brother-in-law, James W. Smith. The younger children were “farmed out” to relatives to be raised according to her living relatives. Because of the way she gave up her children, she fell from the good graces of some of her family. The following information regarding her descendants was supplied by her grandson, Lemuel Miller of Picayune, a granddaughter, Eva Beyer Hardee of New Orleans, LA, Lula Thigpen Brown, and Mrs. Ernestine Davis of Pearlington in years 1975 and 1976. It should be noted that all of Sally’s children used the “Miller” name throughout their lives. She had:
A.	Amanda “Mandy” Miller - married John Beyer on November 3, 1879, and lived in Pearlington. She appears as “Amanda Bayer” in the 1920 census of Hancock County, as bom in 1857, and a widow. She is also listed in the 1910 census, as
