• The following appeared on 12 January 1947 in The Montgomery Advertiser: (in "The Days of Augusta, Alabama," by Peter A. Brannon): An advertisement dated February 10, 1821, in the Republican, announces that Dr. Thomas Brown "has removed to the town of Augusta in this county where he attends to the practice of medicine." Dr. Brown's dust is in the popularly known "Oliver Cemetery" (though it should be "Brown Cemetery") about five miles out on the Ware's Ferry Road near the old Ledyard property. In that small "half-acre" are some Mitchells, some Woods, as well as the family of Dr. Brown. On Dr. Brown's father's gravestone a lengthy inscription recites his Revolutionary War experience. This old veteran was from Culpepper County, Virginia, and was at King's Mountain with John Sevier and at Yorktown when Lord Cornwallis surrendered. He died at Augusta on January 9, 1827, of fever.
       In 1980, Montgomery Eagle Scout Troop 16 erected a monument at the cemetery, then known then known as the Winfrey Oliver Place Cemetery, naming eight of the individuals: Elizabeth Eason Wood, Leonard Abercrombie, Dr. Thomas Brown, Thomas Brown, Eliza Dixon Hall Brown, Edwin Brewer Brown, Henry Pollard Brown, and Thomas Bolling Brown. In August 2008, the Eagle Scout monument was broken off at its base, lying flat on the ground, and the only other monument remaining in the area was that of Leonard Abercrombie.
