If you go to the genweb page for Wexford county Michigan, you will find a link to an index for the 1830 Michigan territory census. It might help you. I don't think that Jackson or Calhoun were counties then. Once you get to the census index, if you click on the notes link, it has a link to a map of Mighigan territory in 1830. You should be able to use it to find the appropriate area to search the index.

At the time they had one son that I mknow of who was Elijah Barton Brown. If any one has any ideas I would be glad to hear from you.

I'd look at land records. Look at the land grants listing at the BLM site. http://www.glorecords.blm.gov/ click on "search land patents" Also at local land transactions if you figure out which county. And I would look at the late 1800's biography books that some of the counties have - since 1830 was very early these books might mention your ancestor as an original settler.
