Hello 'pdoher', I've some Brown's who may be of interest to you: THE FAMILY OF GEORGE LAVERTY & ELIZABETH BROWN |William|Isaac| Jane|John|Elizabeth| Matilda| George LAVERTY, born 1782 in Ireland, died July 1866 in Oak Mountain, Woodstock Parish, Carleton County, New Brunswick, buried 31 July 1866, by the Anglican minister of Woodstock, N.B., burial site unknown. He married Elizabeth (BROWN) LAVERTY. Notes for George LAVERTY: After extensive research in New Brunswick and Ireland for the roots of the LAVERTY family, no records have been found to establish the birthplace of George. Family members believe it was County Armagh. Research by Armagh Ancestry, 42 English St., Armagh, N. Ireland in 1993 covered Presbyterian records only. They suggested looking at Church of Ireland data. It would appear that George and Elizabeth arrived in North America c.1816, as census records show that William was born in Ireland in 1815 and Isaac in New Brunswick in 1817. We have no information on their early years except for the birth of John in Maugerville, Sunbury County., in 1825. A fire in the church rectory there in 1845 destroyed existing records. An 1877 fire in the Saint John Customs House affects early immigration records which might have provided some clue to George's origins. The earliest record we have is a statement from Michael O'Donnell dated 18 July 1832 transferring his claim for land to George Laverty and a petition by George Laverty for said land in Richmond Settlement, Carleton County, Lot 10, Tier 2 dated 24 August 1835. This property is shown on map #111 of Land Grants in the name of William Laverty, granted to him 6 September 1860. It contains 200 acres in the area known as Oak Mountain, just south of Speerville, near Debec. In 1997 this property was owned by Gordon Acott, R.R.#5, Debec, N.B.EOJ1JO (Property Ident. #10086551. We do not know the exact burial place of George. PANB F-1094 Anglican Church Records, Woodstock Parish lists his burial on 31 July 1866, age 84 years, by Rev. S.D. Lee Street. Anglican burials at that time took place in the cemetery at Lower Woodstock. Lee Street himself is buried there. There is no Laverty stone and perusal of an early map at the Anglican church in Woodstock in 1997 showed no record. Many of the old graves and stones were moved when the Mactaquac Dam was built. We know nothing of the death and burial of George's wife, Elizabeth. He may have been buried with her. She died before 1851 as he is listed as a "widower" in that census. The Laverty property in Oak Mountain borders on what later became the cemetery for St. Andrew's Presbyterian (later United) church. St Andrew's was built in 1886 and an earlier church south of that location in 1868, both after George's death. The owner of the land, Gordon Acott, has no knowledge of any graves on his property."

Thanks so much for sending this info to me ... Will hold onto it in case I come up with a connection. In the 1900 US Census for Weymouth Town I have found: Brown George Head b Feb 1853 b Canada & immigrated 1889 Brown Bridget Wife b Dec 1851 b Ireland & immigrated 1889 Riley Philip H Stepson b Jan 1879 b Canada & Immigrated 1889 Riley Simon W Stepson b Dec 1880 b Canada & Immigrated 1889 It appears that George and Bridget were married in Canada , probably Nova Scotia, before they went to the U.S. but I haven't been able to find a marriage certificate for them as yet. Bridget was a widow when she died 3 July 1921 and had been married twice. She was Bridget (Timmons) (Riley) Brown. Bridget's father was Phillip Timmons, mother unknown. Bridget was residing with her son Philip Riley in the 1910 census in Weymouth Town so sometime between 1900 & 1910 George apparently passed away. Would appreciate your keeping me in mind if you ever come across any connection to this George Brown and Bridget (Timmons) (Riley) Brown.
