Harvey is buried in Lafayette cemetery just some 60 miles east of where I live here in Nebraska. He married Ruth Vaughan b. May 15 1796. She died in 1861 in Madison, WI and he traveled on to Nebraska w/ his children and died 23 years later in 1884. I have never done enough research to find out Ruth's ancestry. I believe she is related to the Vaughan family married into the Browns later. I believe her father is either Seymour or Sylvester. I have Seymours married into my Knapp line that m. > Sturdevants m. > Gilberts and m. > Brown. So many of these families histories are interwoven for 100s of years. My information comes mostly from a large unpublished book done by the late Dr. Christensen who strangely enough lived here in Beatrice also. It is just the descendents of Harvey Brown. All my other data is shared from other descendents or relatives I have contacted online. I'm sure you probably know that Sylvanus was married to Kezia Cushman of the Mayflower Cushmans. One of the big problems is that there was a general in NY also named Sylvanus Brown and although our Sylvanus/Sylvenus was a notable figure in guerilla fighting during the revolution much of his information and stories are confused w/ the general's. At one time, I had a free website and had current emails for several descendents of Sylvanus but, that was years ago. We have never found Sylvanus' parents but, believe he was related to local Browns and had a brother named Tristan but, separated from his father b/c of revolutionary war politics.
