Can anyone help me? I'm wanting more info on this Brown familyl Browns moved from Squirrel Hill (Now the city of Pittsburgh) in 1819. Wm Brown of Patton Twp sold land 26 Mar 1861 to Peter Linhart who was married to his eldest daughter, Margaret (Allegheny Co Deeds pg 592-593). He reserved the right to fruit in the orchard and the house he lived in, during the life of he and his wife. Bought from Ephraim James Jordan a tract of land directly across Thompson's Run from the Linhart land. Area taken over by Patton Twp in 1849. There was one child in the family when Brown went into service in the war of 1812 and served 3 months. He came back alive but his brother, Alexander, was killed in a skirmish at Harper's Ferry. Wm Brown's mother's maiden name was Evelyn Hively. There were 10 children in the Hively family, which was English but they had lived in New York City before coming here. After selling their New York property, they drove west in a covered wagon with a 6 horse team and a tea kettle full of gold.
