Anna was born about 1830. She was the daughter of Frances Lytle and his first wife, Winifred Blizzard. On 11 November 1847, Anna married Henry H. Brown in Grant, Indiana.[1] The 1860 census shows Anna and Henry, twenty-six years her senior, living in Liberty Township with six children: Francis, Melissa, William, Amanda. Mary, and Daniel.[2] She seems to have died before 6 August 1870, the date of the 1870 census, which shows Henry in Boone Township, Madison, Indiana, with William, Amanda, Mary, and four younger children, Wallis, Joseph, Elwood, and Zilphia (born in 1866).[3]

DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Anna by comparing test results with other carriers of her ancestors' mitochondrial DNA.
However, there are no known mtDNA test-takers in her direct maternal line.
It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Anna:
The death date may well be wrong. I can't find a source for it, and you're welcome to delete that information. But Anna did exist. Her father (my third great-grandfather) had about 25 children by three of his seven wives. Rik Vigeland, a Lytle descendant, has done extensive research on the Lytle family. You might want to check out his "Lytle Families of America" site at RootsWeb. Here's a link to Anna's page: https://wc.rootsweb.com/trees/173470/I522/anna-lytle/individual. I've added two other sources for her, a marriage record and a census that lists six of her children.
