It would be interesting as to how Charlotte and Conrad met each other. I believe Charlotte and some of her children came to Washington County, OR around the end of 1892. Daughter, Harriet (nee Brown) Strope with husband and children, daughter in law, Janette (nee Strope) Brown (widowed) with a son, and Emma (nee Stope) Canning, all made the trip from Antelope County, NE to Oregon. Other Brown and Strope children may have also moved to Oregon, but I haven't found them yet. Charlotte's maiden name maybe Deboe. She was from Orange County, New York. She married John Brown abt. 1852 in NY. John and Charlotte, with children, moved to Outagamie County, Wisconsin. From Outagamie County, the now widowed Charlotte, moved with her married daughter, Harriet and family to Knox County, NE. It is there that Charlotte struck a deal with my ggg-grandfather, Samuel Haskin to become his wife. They married in July 1886 and moved to his homestead near Royal, Antelope Co. NE. Samuel Haskin died in 1892 and Charlotte is mentioned in Samuel's Will so I knew she survived him. The surname Haskin is spelled with an "s" at the end and without in various documents. In fact, in Samuel Haskin's Will, the surname of Haskin is spelled both ways. Later generations have dropped the "s".
