I found several Everett Brown's in the city directory in Cleveland but insufficient information to follow a line. I have tried and will continue on thru ssdi, do to several Everett's in Cleveland area he has been hard to track. He resided with Frank and Laura his grandparents in the 1910 census as grandson age 7 as did his father Charles. Everett went to live with his mother after Charles remarried Further research needed! This generation of Family members do not know what happened to him? Other cousins have provided sufficient information that Everett was not the only child by Charles and Sadie. It appears that there were James Everett, Frank William, and Della? and both Frank and Della did die very young? Sadie is listed as having a daughter too? In Memphis as Sadie Wilson. This matches what Jeanmarie Bosch told me. I found Everett in Memphis, TN in the 1920 census and his actual name is James Everett Brown and he has 3 children, James E. Brown Jr., (1927-2003), William Lee Brown, (1930-2007), and Betty Jean Brown (1932-2014), w husband William R. Nelson, she has son Joseph Lee Nelson (1965-2003). James Everett Brown wife was Lenora Mary Ford (1907-1995)

William Lee Brown md to Virginia Wheatley (1931-1972) and had 2 dau's and 1 son William Lee Brown Jr. (no dates)

James Everett Brown Jr. had 3 son's and 5 dau's

Betty Jean had 3 dau's and 2 son's

James Everet Brown Sr. was employeed as a Machinist at the Illinois Central RR.

It appears he used Everett when in Ohio but used his first name James normally?
