for what it's worth (and I don't know that) here's something from the Biographical Cyclopedia of the Juniata Valley: HIRAM BR0WN, Meadow Gap, Huntingdon county, Pa., was born June 8, 1830, in Springfield township, Huntingdon county, son of John and Annie (Wagner) Brown. Joshua Brown, his grandfather, was a native of Maryland. He removed to Huntingdon county, and bought a farm near Maddensville. Joshua Brown was married to Charlotte Morris, and during the Indian depredations they took refuge at Fort Littleton, Fulton county, Pa. It was a time of continual fear; the men even had to stand guard when the women went out to milk the cows. Mr Brown and his wife were members of the old school Baptist church. They died on the farm, and are buried in the cemetery attached to the Baptist church in Springfield township. A brother of Joshua Brown's resided in North Carolina. [End of excerpt] I don't know of any complete list of Joshua Brown's siblings, or of any Baltimore County research into the family. On the other hand, Ebenezer has the ring of a "Christian" name that a family associated with "Old School Baptists" might well have taken to; note the Old Testament names Joshua and Hiram here. You will look long and hard before you find an Episcopalian, Presbyterian, or Catholic baby being christened Hiram or Ebenezer, in that era. ----- Original Message ---- From: ross kate <jkross4@yahoo.com> To: pahuntin@rootsweb.com Sent: Wednesday, November 7, 2007 11:44:43 AM Subject: [PAHUNTIN] Ebenezer Brown -1790 - 1797 - Huntingdon Co., Pennsylvania Hello I am researching an Ebenezer Brown who according to a Butler Co. history is said to have come from Huntingdon Co., Pennsylvania to Butler Co. about 1797. I am asking list members whether they have come across any reference to an Ebenezer Brown in any documents they may have been accessing for information about their surnames. The time frame is 1790 through 1797. Thank you, Kate Ross northern Ontario Canada __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
