THE BROWN
SURNAME IN UPPER and LOWER CANADA



My own short BROWN family pedigree
My BROWN ancestor was William 'Priest' Brown, born 1769 in Dutchess County, New York; married Chloe McINTIER ca 1790 in New York state (his brother David was born at the 'Oblong', Dutchess County - he married Mercy Mosher, David settled in Ontario; probably before his brother and father). His father was also William Brown (1734 - 1813, died in Ontario). William was located on the 1790 Saratoga, New York census, a neighbour of his father-in-law, Jesse McINTIER; the Browns arrived in Canada ca 1792. We have been unable to locate any records for the Brown family in Dutchess County.


I've only just started trying to set up these surname pages. If you are interested enough to check them out, does that mean that you possibly have ancestor info or resources that you would like to have listed on these (so far - nonexistant) pages?

I may some day set up pages something similar to my 'Kelly' pages with resources and "ancestors 'n researchers'" pages. As long as your ancestor lived in Upper or Lower Canada for some time during the 1700 - 1800's then I am REALLY interested in their origins! Send me an e-mail message so that we can get started on sorting out the various family groupings under these surnames! If you know of any other site containing these Cdn families let me know - I haven't found any yet during my surfing!

This site shall provide a place to post a brief note on your Brown ancestor in Upper or Lower Canada during the 1700 and 1800's. (You may perhaps wish to provide your mailing address for those without access to the internet, or incase your e-mail address becomes unavailable at some time in the future).

If you would like to have your info posted here, or if I have placed your information on this page, and you would rather not have it posted; please let me know
