This is a long shot, but you may find something at this site http://catskillhouse.us/Genealogy One of my ancestors is Platt Mott who married my gggm Rebecca Moore BROWN. Some Motts are there - so maybe there is a connection to Platts as well. Hope it helps!

Hi Jeff Have you sorted this out yet? I do not see any STATE mentioned, could you help me out there? I am a daughter of a William BROWN, son of John Willis BROWN, son of Jonas BROWN 1823-1896. May go on back to Heinrich BRAUN,1744, Wurtenberg, Germany. He immigrated in 1751 and changed his name spelling to Henry BROWN. I haven't found record of how they got to Ohio, but some were born in Pennsylvania. And I haven't found any immigration records, etc. Just thought maybe there was a chance relationship?

I am trying to determine which Coe Brown is the brother to my great great grandmother. According to his nephew his name was Coe Smith Brown. I have found the following in 1870 and 1880 census records: #1 Coe S Brown b 1826 NY, married to Phoebe J (Rerterson). They resided in Faribault, Rice, Minnesota. The had 3 children, Delphine, Allice, Lewis. #2 Coe aka Courtland Brown b 1822 NY, married to Celestine/Celestia (mnu). They resided in Tampico, Whiteside, Illinois and had 4 children, Henry, Sarah, Hattie, and Annie. I knew nothing more about Coe Smith Brown than the fact that he was the brother of my great great grandmother Emeline, and his parents names are unknown although their mother's maiden name may possibly have been Williams. Can anyone CLAIM either of these families and help me sort out which one is my family line. The marriages and families were such that it can not be the same person unless he had 2 families in 2 different states. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Mark, Unfortunately, the Isaac from Thompson county does not fit the date for him...and the one from Orange and Chemung have been thoroughly checked out to also not be him...darn. I think he stayed in Saratoga county where he is listed in the 1860 census with a grandson, Jacob. Thanks anyway...Sonja In a message dated 1/24/2009 5:41:18 P.M.
