Biography

This following biography was auto-generated by a GEDCOM import.^[1]

Solomon Brown was born October 12, 1794 to Jacob Brown and Mary Armfield Brown.

The following information is based on the Record of John A. Brown written for his children, after 1894 and before his death in 1907. It was typewritten by Pearl Cole Swisher, and notarized by Ruby Brown in Page County, Iowa on July 4, 1936. A copy of the typewritten record is included in the images for John here on wikitree. This record was printed in the Armfield Newsletter, June 2011 courtesy of Ethyl M. Taylor. (Small editing changes were made in this text to address historical inconsistencies observed by Allen Brown and the editors of the Armfield Newsletter, to improve punctuation and grammar, and also in an attempt to make the narrative easier to follow. The voice of John Brown's writing is virtually unchanged. A discussion of the major changes follows the narrative on John A. Brown's profile. You may observe the record as it was printed in the Armfield Newsletter, including their footnotes in the images also on John Brown's profile.)<2>

John A. Brown was born December 1, 1821 to Solomon Brown and Lydia Adams. His parents were married New Year's Day 1813 in North Carolina. They moved to Preble County, Ohio in 1814.<1><2>

"My father lived ten years in Ohio, had five children born there. (I was the fourth.) The oldest, Matilda, was born in Carolina. They sold out and settled in Henry County, Indiana. He lived there ten years and died on the 8th of June 1834 of milk sickness. His father and mother broke up housekeeping in 1826 in Ohio and moved out and lived with us until their deaths; hers in 1827 or 8, and his in 1831 or 32. Mary Armfield Brown died of consumption in her 69th year. He in his 77th from the kick of a horse. They were buried at the Quaker cemetery on Flat Rock, my father by their side.

My father settled in Henry County, Indiana, in November 1824, in the green woods. He had gone before and built a round log cabin with clapboard roof, held on by weight poles, and puncheon floor. It was four miles west of us to the nearest settlement. The land was all vacant and continued so for ten or twelve years. The woods were filled with wolves, wild cats, deer, raccoons, and wild hogs. The land was covered with heavy forest trees, consisting of beech, sugar tree, walnut, hickory nut, hackberry, white and red elm, white burr, red and pin oak, poplar, black, gray and blue ash, linn, and buckeye. It took labor to make a farm at that time. It generally wore a man out to do so.

My father and mother had ten children born unto them, three girls and seven boys. The oldest, 1) Matilda, in North Carolina on the 16th of January 1814; 2) the next, a boy, born dead; 3) Lewis, on the 3rd of April 1817; 4) Polly in 1819; 5) myself, John Adam in 1821; 6) Jacob, 7) an infant son in 1824, who died of croop when three weeks old; he was the first person buried at the old Flat Rock graveyard; 8) Rachel was born on the 14th of February 1828; 9) J. Read in August 1830 and 10) B. Franklin in January 1832.

On the 8th of September, 1841, I left home and came to Missouri; first to Andrew County, and the same fall, to Daviess County on the 18th of November. I wrote to my Mother and the rest of the family that winter to sell out and move here, which they did the following season. I went back to assist in moving. The balance of our history you have learned from conversations that you have heard me have with you and others. Mother lived until the 3rd of April, 1861.""<1><2>
