I am researching my GR GR GR Grandfather Elias Brown who came to Eaton Grant in 1839 He recorded there on the 1850 and 1860
Census Records. To the best of my knowledge he was born 12 Aug, 1792-1795 New Brunswick, Canada and was married to Betsey/Elisabeth
Chase/Porter12 May 1883 Woodstock, New Brunswick, Canada. I would like to find more definite information on his birth, his parents, where he/they came from and to find out his
death record. I am not sure if he is buried here or in Canada, I have found information stating that his son my GR GR Grandfather went back to
Canada for a few years before settling in Woodland in 1867.
per Pioneer Presque Isle by Steinhauer vol2..pg 11-12. Deposition of Ferdinand Armstrong from Daveis report of 1827. Book in PI library where I also volunteer.
The way the statement goes it would seem that Brown came in 1827. He’s also in the 1830 Washington County Census listed under Aroostook. pg.19 transcript of such. Also on microfilm.We were not our own county then. Same vol. pg 23 from Deane and Kavanaugh report of 1831 states he’s been here 2 yrs.
The Roe and Colby Atlas fo 1877 has some Brown lots listed. I don’t know how far back the grantor/grantee books at the registry of Deeds goes. there may be useful info there.
Hope this was of some help.
