Lynda: From your comments, Sanford Brown was b. abt. mid-century 1850. Perhaps these early Indiana Browns cross with yours? I have a Hannah E. Brown, b. November 05, 1841 near Richmond, IN who married Clarkson Davis, b. January 07, 1833 in Fountain City, Wayne Co. IN. Clarkson Davis is in my direct family line. I also have an Edward Stinson Brown, b. March 05, 1887 in IN who mar. Golden Glee Ragle, b. April 22, 1894 in s. IN, on June 19, 1913, also in southern Indiana. Golden Glee Ragle is in my direct family line. Side info: Clarkson Davis entered Friends Boarding School -- was first teacher of mathematics. Eventually took charge of Spiceland Academy. He and his wife Hannah both taught until he died ca. 1888. He had TB most of his life. Clarkson was called "Doc," and taught also at Earlham College. John Ragle
