My husband's grandfather, Howard Harrison Brown, was born in Champaign, OH in 1862, and moved around a lot: IN, KS, MO, NE, where he died in 1940. Census records indicate his parents were both from Scotland. Hit a wall with his father.

My Brown lines starts with Elizabeth Brown - she was born in 1808 in Chester County, Pennsylvania -- her parents were William Brown and Sydney Stapleton/Stepleton. William Brown's parents are Jacob and ? -- so if you have Chester County Browns, I would love to hear from you..

Fun Facts About the Brown Surname:
Brown is the second most common surname among African Americans in the United States. Some freed slaves adopted the surname Brown following the Civil War for the obvious reason that it described their appearance, but there were also many who adopted the surname Brown in honor of abolitionist John Brown, as well as for other reasons.
