The Brown Sisters

January 4th, 2008
  • ID: I360
  • Name: Joel BROWN
  • Given Name: Joel
  • Surname: BROWN
  • Sex: M
  • _UID: 155BEF0F0114D2409AEA5777A6291B845536
  • Change Date: 27 Jun 2003
  • Note:

    He was buried in the Quaker section of Short Creek Cemetery in Mt. Pleasant. His death date is unknown, but must be after 1799 because he and Barbara were administrators of her first husband’s will that year.

    It is not known when Joel left England for America, or who he came with. Since his name is found in Quaker records in Virginia, it seems clear that he came from a Quaker family.

    Joel Brown was disowned 12 May 1787 at the Quaker meetinghouse in Winchester, Virginia, for “marrying contrary to discipline.” This was in the Hopewell Friends History, p. 507. So he must have married Barbara before then! He had two children, Joel and Rachel, from a previous marriage. Rachel married Noble Cruthers.

    Apparently Joel and Barbara Brown lived for a time in York, Pennsylvania, then moved to Mt. Pleasant, Ohio, in 1811. From the notes of the curator of the Historical Society of Mt. Pleasant, Ohio: Joel Brown, born 28 May 1762 in Alterton Parish, probably Bedlingham, England, was the son of Daniel Brown, Jr, born U.S., who was the son of Daniel Brown, born U.S., who was the son of James Brown, born 1656, married 1679 to in Marcus Hook, Pennsylvania, to Honor Clayton from England. [It makes no sense to me why Joel would be born in England but his father and grandfather would be born in the U.S.] In any case, the Hopewell Friends History, p. 372, makes an apparent reference to Joel’s family. There are two entries for Brown families “received on certificate from” dated 1773 and 1774 with a son named Joel. The most likely one is “7 June 1773, Daniel and wife and children, Joel, Meriem, Elizabeth, and Daniel, rocf E. Nottingham MM, PA.” I say it is the most likely because Joel named his children these same names.

      Note:
      Quaker records
  • A few years ago, a man descended from Lydia Brown contacted me. He had hemophilia and was trying to track back, oh, *the source* of his , oh, illness. Now, while I haven’t one drop of the Brown sister’s blood running through my veins- so to say- three of the Brown sisters did indeed marry into The Family : Rachel, Cassoline and Hannah. So, he asked if I could pay some attention to the three sisters as I went through the years and see if any of them might also have been a carrier. He suggested what I might look for.

    As the third son of Robert Kerlin ( Robert A., my guy) vanishes from the face of the earth as well as all of his and Jane’s children after 1856, I have indeed spent much time tracking down the movements of Robert A.’s brothers : William, Westley and H.T.Kerlin. They were a close family, and had- for the most part – the same skills. Except for Robert A., they were skilled bricklayers, at times with much money. Robert A. was a tailor. Strikes me as a profession for a big city, like Loiusville, not Steubenville, but this is indeed an aside, fueled by my growing frustation- I cannot find them ANYWHERE.

    But back to the Brown sisters. Yes, I do indeed think that Cassoline, wife of William B. Kerlin of Steubenville, could have been a carrier.

    But my letters to this man remain without response.

    Perhaps he has a new email address, but still, after dredging through the sorrows of the descendants of -and-William B. Kerlin and Cassoline Brown , I tend to fear the worst.
