Surnames: BROWN and CLARKE Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/5k.2ADE/1212 Message Board Post: Seeking information on the family of Mary CLARKE and John BROWN. They were born in Ireland in the early 1800's. They imigrated to New York and later moved to Green Island, Iowa. They are listed in both the 1850 and 1860 census records for Jackson County, Iowa. It is believed that they had the following children: Margaret, Edward (born abt 1834), William (born abt 1834), Patrick (born abt 1836), Thomas (born in 1836), Mary Ann (born abt 1841), John (born abt 1841), James (born abt 1842), Michael (born in 1844), Peter (born abt 1846, Francis born in 1848, and Katharine (born in 1850). I believe the family was Roman Catholic. I have been told that Mary and John died in Green Island, Iowa, and are buried in Sabula in Jackson County. Any information about this family will be appreciated.
