NOTES for death record:
The line on the death record is blank for residence, but other lines on same page show Hopkins Co. KY, so assume her residence was Hopkins County.
Her father's initial "F" or "T" is overwritten by the line above, so it is unclear if her father's named started with a "F" or a "T".

Hello, William and Amy are mentioned here: http://www.vagenweb.org/mecklenburg/w0tbrown.htm The transcriber of the death record on Ancestry has noted that her father's first initial was "F" but to look at the actual record one can see that the letter is the same letter used in "Thomas Buchanan" http://interactive.ancestry.com/1222/KYVR_994039-0466/194612 As of today, no issues have been reported with the DAR record of Richard "Hutchison" http://services.dar.org/Public/DAR_Research/search_descendants/?action=list&MyPrimary_Seqn=207491&MyLineageCount=1 There are numerous secondary sources that place this Amy with both husbands as well, such as: https://books.google.com/books?id=e3EdAQAAMAAJ&focus=searchwithinvolume&q=amy+brown Thanks as this takes my Brown research back a step too.

Brown is a very common surname. Please do not link to this person unless there is supporting documentation. If information is derived from other people’s research, then please provide their sources. If citing DAR, please provide the application date, or the supporting documentation submitted to the DAR. The DAR itself, does not consider applications accepted before 1976 as acceptable proof.
