Dear List: I'm researching James Brown b. 5 Mar 1783, d. 18 Sept 1864 and his wife Jane Porter Brown b. 27 Mar 1790, d. 10 June 1870. James was an early settler to Mercer Twp., Butler Co.,Pa., near Harrisville, along with his brother Ebenezer, in 1797. Jane Porter's father was Samuel Porter of Mercer Co., Butler Co., Pennsylvania. Two Butler Co. histories say that their father was born in Ireland, served in the Revolutionary War and lived for a time in Westmoreland. Since both brothers named their first son Alexander I believe that James and Ebenezer's father will be named Alexander. Is anyone familiar with this Alexander? James and Jane's children: Alexander b. 1811 m Eliz. Hoskins Ebenezer b. about 1816 m. Hannah Samuel b. 27 Mar 1813 m. Sarah Vaughan from RI James b. 24 November 1813-14 m. Jane Ralston and/or Andrew R. b. abt. 1826 Washington George Calvin Alice Jane Margaret Other possible children: Adam Harvey Matthew Nathan Butler Co. histories say there were fourteen children and not all lived. Samuel, Harvey and Nathan served in the Civil War, possibly others. Kate Ross __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! Shopping - Thousands of Stores.
