Surnames: Brown, Pennell, Patton, Jewett Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/UEB.2ACE/459 Message Board Post: I am searching for the parents or relatives of Cyrus K. Brown, b. Oct. 2, 1833 in Somerset Co. He taught school in Bloomfield in 1854. He may have been related to the Pennell family. We have a letter written in 1899 from a G. D. Pennell who called him uncle. G. D. also mentions an Ephraim Jewett who may be related. We also have a small picture labeled Ma Patton, which may be connected,too. Cyrus moved to WI, IL and finally to MO, where he was a surveyor. I would greatly appreciate any help in finding information about him.
