I am searching for the parents of Benjamin B. Brown b. abt 1795, and his birth place. It is thought he was born in North Adams, Berkshire County, MA but they have no records of his birth there. He married Anna Lawrence Way about 1819 and lived in Milo, Yates County, NY where he was in business with his father-in-law, Joshua Way before moving to McHenry County, IL in the mid 1830s. Anna died in 1842 in McHenry, McHenry County, IL. She is buried in McHenry Village Cemetery. Children were; Reliance, William W., Dr. Henry T., Horace, Susan, Mary E. and Homer. Benjamin died at the home of his daughter, Reliance, in 1866, King City, Gentry County, MO and is buried in Empire Prairie Cemetery. Sonja Abate
