Mark, I think we have talked before, but do you know who this Melvin Brown was? I have many Melvins in my family also. What part of Cayuga co. were they from? My 3rd great grandfather lived in Auburn at the time of his death. He was a newspaper publisher there. I have yet to find out who his siblings were but I am sure one was a Melvin. There also was a Josiah but I can't place him in the family as well. My family of Browns scattered from Stillwater, Saratoga Co. to Milo, Yates Co; Camereron, Steuben Co. and Auburn, Cayuga Co.
