I went back and checked the book. The book also has her as Elizabeth Jane, so that matches the marriage record and the census record. Following is a transcription of the book entry:
BROWN, Robert w.; CO. I, 28th REG. (1842-08/13/1862).Robert W. Brown e. in Yadkin Co. at age 19, where he resided, on 8-13-1861. He was wounded in the right shoulder at Frayser's Farm, VA, 6-30-1862, and d. in a Richmond, VA, hospital 8-13-1862 of wounds received (NCT VIII, 208). He is believed to be the Robert W. Brown, b.6-8-1842, d. ca. 1865, the s. of Jacob and Elizabeth Calloway Brown, and a brother to George Washington Brown. Others in this family were Enoch J. Brown; Hanna Brown; James F. Brown, who m Sarah Ray; Christina who m. Eli Smith about 1869; Thomas T m. Caroline Davis; Elizabeth Jane Brown, who m. William Pleas Bren-dle [sic]; and John Conrad Brown, who m. Priscilla Adams, ca. 1880 (per Neish Brown).
Horribly, sad, right? Poor boy. I can also see the beginnning of George W.'s record above (who appears to have survived the war), but the entry is not fully in the free preview, so I am definitely purchasing this book come payday. If anyone else reading this is from Yadkin County, I encourage you to do so as well. It looks to be a wonderful accounting of how the war affected the county.
In the census recording, I have Robert J, George W, John, Thomas, Eliza and James. I do not have Enoch, perhaps he was born after 1860? I will pull the 1870 record if I can find it next week.
