Surnames: Brown, Wilson Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/XZ.2ADE/1456.1 Message Board Post: I don't believe there were State census records prior to 1830 for CT but there are the 1790, 1800, 1810 and 1820 Federal census records. I would also like to inquire about your Ezra Brown. I am looking for an Ezra whose wife was either Nancy or Emily from NY. His daughter Lucy Jane, born 6/11/1791 in either Orange, NY?? or Cooperstown, NY. She married my ggg-grandfather, Otis Wilson, 3/27/1817; likely Chenango CO., NY where thier first child was born. They moved back to his hometown in Rowe, MA then on to VT. The family seemed to think the Browns were from CT originally, he served in Revolutionary War, his land bounty was in western NYand his father was Ezara or Nathan. Any info will be appreciated.
