  The Brownsville community had itself been the scene of another engagement; a skirmish had been fought at Brown's Mills between Captain Malachi Murphey's company of Whigs and a party of Tories led by Micajah Ganey and David Fanning.31 Brown's Mill was probably in the general vicinity of the church. The name of Muddy Creek has today been changed to Rogers Creek. Footnote 31 - J. A. W.
