There have been a lot of postings on the BROWN family recently. I do not think that my Butler Brown family was connected to the Middlesex group, but if anyone else is researching Brown from around Clay Township, I'd love to exchange info. My g-grandmother was Mary (Catherine or Katherine) Brown. She married William J. Eury, probably in the 1890s. Her parents were Robert A. Brown and Mary (Baker) Brown. On the 1880 census, they are listed in Clay Township, occupation farmer, with the followoing children: Robert A Brown, 45 Mary Brown, 39 Josiah J., 21 Harrison A., 19 Sarah J., 18 Robert F., 17 Mary K., 15 James E., 14 Maria E., 10 Jacob P., 8 Ada M., 6 Warren A., 3 Rose E., 1 With that many kids, I am hoping there is someone else out there with some information on the line!
