The 1870 U.S. Census shows Penelope Brown and family living in Bear Grove Twp., Fayette Cnty., Illinois. Post Office Hagarstown, Illinois. The census shows: Penelope Brown, age 53, born in North Carolina John Quincy Brown, age 22, born in Indiana Jesse Brown, age 20, born in Illinois Henry Brown, age 16, born in Illinois Henryetta Brown, age 16, born in Illinois Allen Brown, age 13, born in Illinois Christina Brown, age 10, born in Illinois Penelope Ruby married my gggrandfather Staten Brown on Feb. 6, 1845 in Rush Cnty., Indiana. She was the 2nd wife of Staten Brown. The above family was living in Hadley, Pike Cnty., Illinois in 1860 although Christina was born after the 1860 census enumeration. Penny & Staten Brown had aa child named Cassius M. Brown living with them in 1850 & 1860. Cassius was born about 1845 in Indiana. Staten Brown evidently passed away between 1860 and 1870. Staten Browns 1st wife was Dicy Coffield and this family was living in Halifax Cnty., North Carolina in 1830 with 5 male children and 1 female child in the home. One of these males was my ggrandfather William Wesley Brown, born Jan. 9, 1823 in North Carolina and I believe another male child was named Sandy Brown, born about 1825. I have no idea of the names of the other children in thee home in 1830. During the 1830's Staten Brown had at least 2 other children, names were Mary, born about 1831 and Andrew born about 1837. I have looked for any kind of information regarding Staten Browns family and could not find any trace of them after 1860 until recently. Does anyone have any information regarding this family? Did Staten Brown pass away in Fayette Cnty? I can not find a death record for him in Pike Cnty., Illinois. Does anyone have any information on the descendents of Staten Browns family? Any information will be appreciated & I will share the inf. that I have on William Wesley Brown. Thank you. Sandy B. Eglise
