NOTE: John J. Brown was an alias that my grandfather Rome Waughtel used for many years. I do not have the full particulars nor complete story for his actions in so doing. They were married under this alias, of which I have a copy of the marriage record wherein the name had been changed (at a somewhat later date it looks to be) and although my father Roma James Waughtel was born during this interim, he was not named immediately after birth, and from what I recall my grandmother stating, a neighbor lady finally named him since my grandmother's thoughts were that he should not be named until he could pick his own name. Their is no birth record filed for him in the State of Wyoming, under either Roma James Waughtel or Roma James Brown, as they have told me records were not kept prior to 1909, and although he was born in 1910, records were sporadic. At least I and my siblings were born under the Waughtel surname. Antoinette
