BROWN GENEALOGY
8/27/2013
Generation One
1. Benjamin Brown,
d. bef 1741 in
The parentage of Benjamin Brown, husband of Abigail Cleveland
(and father of Benjamin Brown (b. ca 1733) who married Hannah Benjamin), has
not been determined. His name is known
only from a reference in "The Benjamin Family in
Although quite possible, it would be only speculation to suggest that this is the Benjamin Brown widely reported as the son of Deacon Thomas Brown and the father of Rufus Brown. If any reader of this genealogy has information which would support or disprove this possibility, please let us know.
He married[1] Abigail Cleveland, also known as Abigail Cleaveland,[2] b. Jun- 3-1715 in Canterbury, Windham Co, CT,2 (daughter of Josiah Cleaveland and Abigail Paine), d. Dec-15-1782 in Canterbury, Windham Co, CT,[3],[4] [at homestead, North Society], buried Morse Cemetery in Canterbury, Windham Co, CT.[5]
Abigail: The precise year of Abigail Cleveland's second
marriage, to John Adams, is not clear.
Genealogist Andrew N. Adams reports a date of 1733, when her son
Benjamin Brown was not more that one year of age. But
In 1746 John Adams and his wife participated in the formation
of the
On Apr 17 1752, John and Abigail Adams acknowledged receipt of
a legacy from the estate of her father, Josiah Cleveland of
John Adams' will was drawn on May 4 1762, and the estate was administered that same year. In it he mentions wife Abigail Adams. Mrs. Abigail Adams' estate was administered Feb 19 1783, and mention is made of her "eldest son Benjamin Brown."
According to an article by genealogist Emily Wilder Leavitt of Boston, written in the "New England Historical & Genealogical Register" in 1894, in "a little graveyard in the northern part of Canterbury the tombstones of both John and Abigail Adams have recently been found: 'Here lies the body of Mr. John Adams who died January 16, 1762-3, in his 66th year.' On that of his wife is inscribed: 'Here lies the body of Mrs. Abigail, wife of Mr. John Adams who died December 15, 1782.'"
Abigail's brother Aaron was the father of Moses Cleaveland,

Many researchers report that this Benjamin Brown (father of
Rufus and 16 others) was born on Sep 1 1713 in
The entry for Benjamin Brown, Patriot Ancestor #A015287, in the DAR Patriot Index reads as follows:
Benjamin Brown, born about 1734 in
The
Adding to the confusion, there is a birth record for another
Benjamin Brown, born May 30 1734 in
All things considered, it appears certain that the Benjamin
and Hannah of interest to us here were married in
Having thus established the parents of this Benjamin Brown as Benjamin Brown and Abigail Cleveland, we must wonder whether the aforementioned Deacon Thomas Brown and Rachel Leavens might actually be his grandparents. Further investigation will be necessary to prove or disprove that possibility.1,[9],4
He married7 Feb-25-1755 in Canterbury, Windham Co, CT,1,[10] [at Canterbury Congregational Church], Hannah Benjamin, b. May-22-1737 in Preston, New London Co, CT,1 (daughter of Jedediah Benjamin and Patience Stanton), d.1 [Possibly in Brookfield, Vermont.].
Children:
i. BENJAMIN BROWN, JR. b. Jan- 1-1756 in Canterbury, Windham Co, CT.[11] He married1 Dec-17-1779 in Canterbury, Windham Co, CT,[12] Esther Staples.
3. ii. JEDEDIAH BROWN b. Mar-30-1757.

5. viii. ARUNA BROWN b. Apr-21-1766.
ix. HANNAH BROWN b. Nov- 5-1767 in Canterbury, Windham Co, CT,[18] ["Benjamin Family in America," p. 114, reports birth date as Apr 27 1769, but Connecticut Town Birth Records (Barbour Collection), show it as Nov 5 1767.]. She married17 ___ Morse.
6. x. BIAL BROWN b. Apr-30-1770.
7. xi. RUFUS BROWN b. Aug- 5-1771.
xii. EBENEZER BROWN
b. Feb- 7-1773 in
8. xiii. THANKFUL BROWN b. Dec-21-1774.
xiv. PATIENCE BROWN
b. Jun-11-1776 in
Other than her birth record, no reference to Patience Brown as a child of Benjamin Brown & Hannah Benjamin has been found. Some versions of the Barbour Collection of Connecticut Vital Records report Jun 11 1776 as Patience's birth date, some report that as her death date, and some as both. We consider it possible that Patience is the same person as Benjamin & Hannah's daughter Thankful, who married Jirah Peabody and for whom no birth record by that name has been found. Thankful's age in the 1850 and 1860 censuses would put her birth in or about 1776.
9. xv. AURELIA BROWN b. Aug-11-1778.
xvi. ABIGAIL BROWN d. bef 1819.
No record of Abigail Brown's birth or death has been found, although she was included in the division of her father's estate in 1819 in the same manner as Benjamin's other known children. Abigail's portion was designated to "the heirs of Abigail Rider."
She married ___ Rider.

Canterbury Vital Records, Vol. 1, p. 91, shows a birth record for Nabby Hide Brown, daughter of Aruna & Olive, born 1799. We have found no other reference to Aruna Brown having a wife other than Rebecca Dyer.

Rufus Brown left no will.
The only record found of his death is his headstone, the weathered
inscription on which is reported by Findagrave.com as "In memory of RUFUS
BROWN, who died July 6th 1832, aged 66 years." But there appears to be an error in the
transcription of the badly worn marker.
Given his documented Aug 1771 birth date, it is almost certain that
either his age was other than 66, or that his death date was other than 1832,
probably the latter. If his age was in
fact 66, his death date was probably 1838, or possibly 1839. Support for this conclusion, as well as a
record of his children's names, is found in Grantor Record Book 65, p. 413,

Mary: Most of the information regarding Mary Williams and her immediate ancestors is from records of the DAR.
Some researchers have reported that she was born Jun 30 1771 in Roxbury, Suffolk Co, Massachusetts, died 1838; daughter of William Williams (son of William Williams & Sarah Stevens) and Martha Williams (dau of Samuel Williams & Theoda Parke).

1 male age 10-15 (i.e., son Ammi A. Brown, b. 1829)
1 male age 5-10 (i.e., son Andrew Brown, who we know from the 1900 Census was born Sep 1834)

1850 Census, Pittsfield, Otsego Co,
Amina Brown, male, 50, b.
1870 Census, town of Guilford, Chenango Co, NY:
Ami Brown, 39, b.
Ami is clearly a misspelling of Ammi, and labeling the elder Ami (Ammi) a female is considered to be a clerical error, especially in view of the listed occupation.
No record of this Ammi Brown was found in any 1860 or 1880 Census.

Household of Arnum Brown
1 male age 30-40
1 male under 5
2 females age 20-30

Despite the name variance, the handwriting is not entirely clear, and the possibility cannot be discounted that this is the household of Ammi T. Brown.

Since there was no entry for Ammi T. Brown, we can only speculate that he may have died in the intervening five years. He also was not found in the 1880 Census.

The name Ammi is from the Hebrew, meaning "my people."

He married38,33 Annis ___, b. ca 1801 in New York,38 census 1850 in Pittsfield, Otsego Co, NY, census 1840 in Burlington, Otsego Co, NY.
Annis: Other than her birthplace and approximate birth date from the 1850 Census, we have found no information regarding Annis, wife of Ammi T. Brown. The 1850 Census is the last record that we have of her. Her death was presumably between 1850 and 1870, since husband Ammi was found without her in the 1870 Census. No 1860 census record was found for either of them.
The name Annis is a medieval (both English and Scottish) form of Agnes much used by some colonial families. It is often misread as ‘Annie,’ a diminutive not used as a formal name much before the nineteenth century.

Very little has been found regarding Ammi Almanzia Brown and
wife Almira Sanders. It is not known for
sure when or where they were married or when they moved to
Circumstances taking Ammi from
If Almira died in about 1888, as is likely based on son
Addison's twice testifying as much, there is evidence that Ammi twice
remarried. The first re-marriage was
confirmed by the discovery of an item in the Tacoma Daily News of Sep 10 1894,
which reported that Ammi A. Brown had filed for divorce from Deborah S. Brown
on the grounds of desertion after only three days of marriage. A news item in the Nov 12 1894 issue of that
newspaper stated in its entirety "Armi [sic] A. Brown has been divorced
from Deborah S. Brown." Just over
three years later, Ammi's marital status was listed as married on his Feb 1898
application to the Washington Soldiers Home.
But on his March 1899 application to the Soldiers Home, his entry for
marital status was "She has left me, I do not know where she
is." Correspondence from fourth
wife Rachel A. Brown, and others, found in his Soldiers Home file shows that
Ammi and Rachel were married on Jun 27 1895 in
Addison Avery Brown always gave his parents' names as Ammi
Almanzia Brown and Almira Saunders (or Sanders), and official records support
that. But
Addison's birth certificate, which was not registered until
1943 when he was a longtime resident of Doddridge County, WV, identified his
father as Ammi Almanzia Brown, age 54 at the time of Addison's 1881 birth, born
in Massachusetts, occupation carpenter; and his mother as Almira Saunders
Brown, age 39 at time of Addison's birth, born in New York. Information supporting the delayed filing was
provided in affidavit by Edith Maria Weeden,

Although relationships are not stated, it would appear that the elder Ammi is the father of the younger, who in turn is the father of Edwin. Based on the earlier census, Edwin's mother was Deborah, not Almira. No entry for this Edwin Brown was found in any subsequent census.
No entry for Ammi Brown was found in the 1880 Census,

The 1880 Census of Minnesota lists in Aldrich Twp, Wadena
Co, Albert A. Brown, age 40, carpenter, born in New York; and Almira Brown, age
35, his wife, born in New York, her father born in Connecticut, and her mother
born in New York. Despite the discrepancies,
the possibility cannot be discounted that this is the couple in question. The same Census shows Charles W. Brown, age
35, born in
The 1885 Census of Minnesota lists in Aldrich Twp, Wadena County, A. A. Brown, age 53, born in Massachusetts; Almira Brown, age 41, born in New York; and Addison (misspelled Adison), age 3, born in Minnesota.
Minnesota Land Records, Document 16156, St. Cloud Land Office, on file at U.S. Bureau of Land Management, show that Ammi A. Brown purchased 80 acres of land on Dec 16 1890, with the following legal description: Aliquot Parts S1/2SE, Base Line 5TH PM, Fractional Section No, Township 134 N, Range 34 W, Section # 4.
In "The Famous & Not So Famous," published by the Verndale Historical Society in 1987, it is noted that the relationship between the many Brown families who settled there has not been entirely determined. Of the many pages devoted to settlers of the Brown surname, only the following three entries appear regarding this one: (1) "Architect and Builder. I am prepared to take contracts for erecting buildings of all kinds. Plans and specifications furnished on short notice. Stair building a specialty." [Wadena County Tribune, Dec 5 1878, attributed to A. A. Brown] (2) "A. A. Brown has erected a barn near Verndale." [Verndale Journal, Dec 26 1879] (3) "The A. A. Brown Furniture, 1882, is mentioned in 'Bartlett Township History,' Volume I." It is noted that there were apparently two A. A. Browns, Ammi Almanzia and Albert A., who were carpenters and residing in Verndale at that time.
Based strictly on the two Censuses and on son Addison's
birth certificate, Ammi would have been born either ca 1840, ca 1832 (most
likely), or ca 1827; but entries on his applications to the Washington
Soldiers' Home consistently and specifically state his birth date as Sep 13
1829. Ammi Almanzia Brown was thought by
family lore to have died at age 74 of apoplexy, although son Addison, born in
1881, recalled that he was about 18 at the time of his father's death, which
would have been shortly after Ammi's last admission to the Washington Soldiers'
Home in Orting, Pierce Co, WA in 1899.

Sanders and Olive L. Mowry), d. ca 1888 in Minnesota,[80] resided 1885 in Aldrich Twp, Wadena Co, MN,[81] census 1870 in Guilford, Chenango Co, NY, census 1850, 1860 in Norwich, Chenango Co, NY.
Almira: Addison Avery Brown always gave his mother's name as Almira Saunders and stated that she was one-half American Indian. Almira's birth was in New York sometime between 1840 and 1844, based on the following: Age 9 at 1850 Census would put it in about 1841, age 20 at 1860 Census would put it in about 1840, age 41 at 1885 Census would put it in about 1844, and Addison's birth certificate gives her age at his birth as 39, putting her birth in about 1842. But with her sister Mary's birth date confirmed in both the 1900 Census and her death record as Feb 1842, and with Almira appearing in the 1850 Census one year younger than Mary, Almira's birth date is more likely to be about 1843.
Almira was with her parents and siblings in the 1850 and 1860 censuses of Norwich, Chenango Co, NY, and she was with husband Ammi (and his father and son from a previous marriage) in the 1870 Census of Guilford, Chenango Co, NY.
Almira was not found in the Census of 1880. That year's census of Wadena County, Minnesota, lists an Almira as the wife of Albert A. Brown, giving her age as 35 (b. ca 1845) and reports her father's birthplace as Connecticut, and her mother's as New York. Despite the similarities in names and locations, this does not appear to be the same couple.
The 1885 Minnesota Census places her in the household of A. A. Brown with son Addison, identifies her as Almira and gives her age as 41 (b. ca 1844), birthplace New York.
No entry for her was found in the 1900 or subsequent censuses.
In an affidavit filed by son Addison in 1935 to establish
his date of birth, he stated that his mother had died when he was about age
six. This would put her death in about
1887 or 1888. In 1915, in an application
for membership in the Modern Woodmen of America, a fraternal beneficiary
society,
