Dear List, I recently made a trip to the DAR Genealogical Library and in my short time there (I could have spend a LOT more time there!) I was able to make a new connection in my family tree. I am a descendant of Aaron Brown and his wife Hannah of Canton, ME. Anyone with additional info or questions on this line or the allied families are invited to email me or answer me here. Thanks, Heidi Agin heidi_agin@juno.com Descendants of Aaron BROWN. See end of document for current source citations. First Generation 1. Aaron BROWN1. Aaron married Hannah2.

I do not have corroborating documentation to prove that this couple is the same as my Aaron Brown and Hannah, but the time frame fits very well, based on the date of birth of the first child, as well as the middle name of Proctor given to several of the Brown children.
