Comment by Christine B on September 5, 2009 at 10:10am: Thank you Nancy. I did come across some Browns in Cape Cod. I will check into those further and see if I come up with something. .

Comment by Christine B on September 4, 2009 at 6:50am: I found my J.H. :: My gram was looking threw papers and found a list of names in tree like form .
J.H. is John Haskel Brown b. abt 1827 probably in Maine married Mary Ann Campbell.
His parents were William Rodney Brown and Susan Jordan born roughly 1801 Maine.
Anyone have Brown connections in Maine or Massachusetts?

Comment by Robbyn Porter on August 31, 2009 at 3:00pm: Hey Cyndy, I'm not sure about the connection, but I'll check it out. I don't live in Buffalo, I live in FL. If I did live in Buffalo, I'd definately be a snowbird! I'm sure all the people at the genealogy societies, the libraries and court houses would be out waving bye to me in the fall b/c I would bug them to death all summer!

Comment by Joanne Schleier on August 31, 2009 at 2:39pm: I just posted a video on my Brown ancestor's cemetery in Locust Grove, Henry County, Georgia. Her name is Atha Brown Sandifer.

To view it go to my blog at: "keeper of the records dot blogspot dot com".

Comment by Cyndy Bensema on August 22, 2009 at 11:46am: Robbyn, I have a 4 Gr Grandfather, Archibald Brown, who immigrated from Scotland (not sure where or when) and married Martha McMullen/McMillan from Argyleshire, Scotland and lived in Buffalo, NY. I know Brown is a common name, but maybe there is a connection. They were married at the Scottish Reform Church in Buffalo in 1851. They had 3 sons: Hugh, born in 1855, Neil, born in 1858, and Archibald (jr?) born in 1859. I only have info on children of Archibald and none of them are Spencer. All of the brothers died after 1900. If any of this makes sense or you want more info, contact me. I'm happy to share what I can! Do you live in the Buffalo area? I don't, I'm in AZ, but go back every once in awhile.

Comment by Christine B on August 22, 2009 at 9:13am: I am looking for any Brown family from the Milbridge, Maine area in he 1800s. I have a J.H. Brown (J.H. Is unknown) b. 1827 who married a Mary Ann maiden name unknown. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Comment by Robbyn Porter on August 20, 2009 at 8:27pm: Searching for relatives of or information, pictures and stories concerning Spencer Elton Brown, Buffalo, Erie, NY and also Cheektowaga, NY and Newfane / Niagara, NY area. 1902 - 1930. Wife Edith, and 3 y.o. daughter when he was killed in a parachute accident.

Comment by Rosemary Taylor on August 10, 2009 at 9:45am: I have several lines of Brown, although I have not proved a few of them, and they are older lines.

Margaret Elizabeth Brown (1834 TN-1866 MO), daughter of Squire Brown (1795SC-MO), and Elizabeth Williams (OF Coffee Co., TN to Missouri). She married William Smith, and died young in Phelps Co., Missouri.

Elizabeth Brown married Benjamin Meader/Meadows, a minister, of Bedford Co., Virginia c1800, migrated to Barren Co., Kentucky in 1850 census, living next to her daughter, Edna Thornhill. There is an indication Elizabeth may be related to Daniel Brown of 1700's Guilford Co., NC. Edna, was confused about her birthplace, so they may have lived in different places, although Bedford Virginia seemed to have been home.

Comment by Teresa Taschereau on August 9, 2009 at 1:46pm: My Browns are from the Hemmingford area and my greatgrandfather married Marietta (Henrietta) Tallman. Looking for any further info that anyone would have on them.

Comment by Glenn Roy Browne on August 8, 2009 at 12:45pm: My father Thomas Crawford Brown came from Belfast, Ireland in 1920 to Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. He was only 14 years old and got a job with the Canadian Pacific Railway by saying he was 16 years old. One family story says he added the e on Brown because his father already worked for the CPR and they had a rule that they did not hire relatives. Another story states that when he was called in for work they could not find his name in the Winnipeg phone book because of all the Browns listed. Adding the e made it fast and easy to reach him. Regardless of the reason I grew up with Browne. When my dad retired he had completed 51 years of service with the CPR.
