Looking for information for the following ancestors in BROWN COUNTY: Emily ARCHER, b in Hiawatha in 1878. Her mother 's name was Mary E. Archer. Found a John and Mary ARCHER in Brown County in the 1880 census, but they do not list a daughter by that name. Emily married Charles R. Montgomery and they lived in the late 1880's and early 1900's in Holt and Grundy County Missouri. Can anyone help with this. It would be nice to find a birth record, but that is not available at the court house. Would anyone have access to church birth/christening records for that time period in Hiawatha? Any Archers related to Emily.
