In my voluminous files on Evinger ancestry, there are various papers showing David Brown was bron in Warren Co, IN. He married Elizabeth Evinger, daughter of Rev. Henry Evinger and wife Elizabeth _?_. In The Bishops Church of the United Brethren in Christ by Paul Rodes Koontz and Walter Edwin Roush, Volume I by P. R. Koontz, 1950; The Otter- bein Press, Dayton, Ohio [pages 201 & 208;] it says ...Michael Brown, migrated from Alsace to America, and settled in the beautiful Tulpehocken valley of eastern Pennsylvania. Here [Philip Wm] Otterbein was pastor of the German Reformed congregation from 1758 to 1760. Michael Brown and his wife were among the first to respond to [Otterbeins] evangel- ical preaching. Five sons and three daughters with the parents constituted the Brown family. One of the sons was Peter, father of Bishop William Brown ... About 1824 Peter Brown and his family lived in or near Taylor Creek, a few miles west of Cincinnati, Ohio. His sons were John, Simon, David, and Wil- liam. ...David Brown married the daughter of Henry Evinger, a charter member of the Miami Confer- ence.
