I finally found a new piece of info on my husband's BROWN line. He descends from a Francis BROWN and Sarah M. BERKLEY, through their son William Berkley BROWN. According to his 1902 death record, William was born ca 1849 in Kingston, Rockingham Co. NH. However, I think perhaps he was born in Lisbon, Grafton Co. NH because his parents married there in 1846 and the Kingston VRs don't mention his birth. I plan to follow up on that possibility. Anyway, Francis was listed on pg. 178 of the Rockingham Co. NH 1850 census. His son William's death record said Francis was born in Kingston NH, not MA, but that could simply be a mistake. He was 26 yrs. old, born in MA, and a carriage-maker. William was their only child at the time. On the same page, 7 households away, is listed Albert BROWN, age 29 yrs. old, born in NH and a carriage-maker. Were Francis and Albert BROWN brothers? Do any of you BROWN researchers out there know of a Francis BROWN born ca 1824 and an Albert BROWN born ca 1821? Hubby's ancestor William Berkeley BROWN married Sophia Jane ELLIS in 1876, possibly in Canton, Worcester Co. MA. He died in 1902 in Boston MA but is buried in Canton. He had a son named William Berkley BROWN Jr. who was born in 1881 in Randolph, Worcester Co. MA. I appreciate any help I can get. Vickie Elam White VEWhite@aol.com or 102657.1616@compuserve.com
