I have lots of Brown information. I am in contact with another Brown line that lived in this area as well. My Browns are the children of Samuel Brown & Mary Hart: Solomon, Jeremiah, Mary, John Wesley, Lydia Ann (Carli) Samuel Fletcher, Wilson, Florence, Welsley and Nathaniel Reeder. Samuel had one child with his first wife, Emily Renshaw : Joseph Renshaw Brown, the noted pioneer, trader and land speculator and politician. The other Brown line, I don't have, but I have a contact. We have one thing in common: We're related to Dakota Chief Wapasha (Wabasha). John Wesley Brown in my case, married Mary Mooers<Hazen Mooers + Grey Cloud Woman II (aka Margaret Aird) < James Aird + Mahpiyahotawin (Grey Cloud Woman)<Chief Wapasha I. Joseph Renshaw Brown married Susan Freniere who was related to Little Crow, Wabasha and supposedly, Sacajawea. Please contact me with details regarding your line, even if you don't see an immediate connection. My ancestors lived in the area during this same time, so I can keep an eye out for your people if I know more about who they are.
