BROWN, RANEY, WILSON posted by Ruth Menhel on Sunday, June 14, 1998: I am helping a family in looking for any information on Mary Elizabeth BROWN, daughter of W. B. WILSON and Mary Jane RANEY. Mary Elizabeth was born ca 1923-24 in West Helena. Her mother was shot by her father on June 18, 1924 when Mary Elizabeth was an infant and the family lived at 101 Garland Avenue. It is not known who reared Mary Elizabeth but she was heard from in the 1940's and her married name was BROWN. She had at least one son named Charles and they were perhaps living in New Orleans on Magazine Street. Any information on Mary Elizabeth's life/whereabouts/marriage, etc. would be most appreciated. Did she attend high school in West Helena? Did she marry there? We have no resources here for research in Arkansas. How would we obtain prison records for W. B. WILSON?
