Tyrone. JOSEPH BROWN and ELLA CARR had several children, all of whom went to America between 1849 and 1852. Joseph and Ella appear to have stayed in Ireland. All children are listed as being from "Ireland" in documents although there is a later reference to being from 'Northern Ireland". The Brown siblings settled in Colchester, New York and were farmers. There are indications that they were Presbyterians. Based on searching surnames in the counties and tithe lists I believe my BROWNS/CARRS came from Co. Tyrone, or possibly Antrim. Below is a list of the children who emigrated to America: Joseph Brown - b. Sept. 3, 1819 (married Anne Rolison) William J Brown - b. May 1823 (married Jane Davis) Robert Brown - b. March 1825 (married Sarah Davis) Isabelle Brown - b. August 1834 (married Charles Townshend) Charles Brown - b April 1836 Samuel Brown - b. abt 1842 Thomas Brown - b. October 1843(married Nancy Minerva Andress) I am from the Thomas Brown line who settled in upstate New York. He fought in the Civil War and later was listed as a farmer. There is no record of parents Joseph and Ella coming to America. I'm guessing they may have died and so all the children went to America. Based on birth years of the children I'm guessing Ella Carr would have been born about 1800. Would appreciate any information if you are connected with these families as I have hit a brick wall in research. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
