Hi, Suzanne, I also have a Lorenzo BROWN, born in a similar time from as yours, from Warren Co., PA, probably from somewhere around Sugar Grove...or at least near the Chautauqua Co., NY/Warren Co. line. However, I believe that his parents were Ursula TEAL/TEEL and Stephen (?) BROWN. And his siblings were Charles and Clara. Lorenzo is said to have removed to MI, not MN. Lorenzo had a dau (name unk.) who m. John BUCKLER in Bloomingdale Twp, Van Buren Co. MI. Lorenzo's sister, Clara, m. a Mr. GALE and they lived in Mayville, NY. Ursula TEAL's/TEEL's mother was Clarissa PEMBER Teall, to add to the list of names you hopefully might recognize. Sorry to say, I don't recognize any of yours other than Lorenzo. I hope you or someone else might know about my set of BROWNs. Jane thaia@goodnet.com --------------- > My great grandfather Lorenzo Brown was born in Warren County, Pa. in about > 1842.
