[or-roots] Silas Brown, Lane County, about 1860

[Jean Raabe]

Anne,

Just had to respond to your message to Maragret when I saw the surname Crabtree at the beginning of your list.  My maternal great-grandmother was Phoebe Malinda Crabtree, married to George Washington Arnold.  Phoebe's parents were George Crabtree and Fairlotta "Lottie" Edgar Smallomon Crabtree.  Her grandparents were Job B Crabtree ll and Malinda Smith Crabtree.  Her great-grandparents were Job Crabtree and Rebecca Smyth.  Beyond that I am not sure.  My husband and I, along with my mother, attended the Crabtree Reunion in the town of Crabtree this past summer.  It was there I began to put together my Crabtree line.  A lot of research has been done by many on the Crabtrees and I hope someday to get in on some of it.  The reunion was so much fun and a good start.  Lately I have been spending most of my research time on the Arnold side of the family but want to get going on the Crabtrees soon.  Would love to share information with you or anyone who is willing.

Jean Raabe

  Hello Margaret,

  My interest in the Brown family is because my great-aunt Emma Annetta Smith was the daughter of Francis Hannah Brown. Emma was a half-sister to my grandfather, Corwin J. Smith. So the connection is not direct but I like to gather information on peripheral lines. I have appreciated the help you have given and similar help from others.

  And about a Comer relationship? Sure, but not me. It is my husband who descends from those Comers. Joseph Comer and Elizabeth Hussey are his 5xgreat-grandparents. His line descends through their son, Stephen. 

  My surnames: CRABTREE, POWELL, PRINE, PEEK, HUDELSON/HUDDLESTON, RUTLEDGE, HAMILTON, DICKERSON, KITCHEL, EMPSON, FLANARY, BOGGS, BEELER, PETRE, STALCOP, MUSGRAVE, McDONALD/MacDONNELL and others too numerous to mention.

  My husband's surnames: COMER, BARNUM, ROBINSON, HOLMES, SHUGART, BOATRIGHT, ENSIGN

    Hi Anne,
        Yes, I am connected to the Brown and Richardson families.
        Here it comes and it is a little confusing:
        Silas Brown's parents were Benjamin Brown and Elizabeth Richardson.  Elizabeth Richardson was the daughter of Daniel Richardson & Nancy Townsend, who were my 4X great grandparents.  Elizabeth would be my 3X great aunt.  I am descended through Gideon Richardson.
        Are you researching the Richardsons and Browns?
        Your name rang a bell for me; I have an Ann Comer in my database.  She was born 30 Dec 1763 to Joseph Comer and Elizabeth Garretson Hussey.  Any relation?
        Margaret

    Looking for more information on this family, Silas Brown, wife Jane Ann Blair-Hiatt, children included a daughter, Francis Hannah Brown. I believe Francis Hannah may have first been married to a man by the name of Davis. I would especially like to know who was this Mr. Davis, and what happened to him. Francis 2nd married to my gr-great grandfather, Thomas C. Smith in 1864. They had one child, a daughter and were then divorced.

    Thanks, Anne
