• Notes

  Two reports about him: Operated a livery stable in Binghamton, N.Y. Also, "lost at sea." Can't confirm either. 1850 census says he was afarmer. Most family information comes from Edna Brown Foster, daughter of WilliamW. Brown. That information with Louis B. Bate, Bountiful, Utah. Believed married about 1844, since daughter Georgianna was born in1845. Also, that is the year, 1855 census says, that Caroline came to BroomeCo. Probably married in New Milford, Pa., or Chenango, Broome County, N.Y. He is found in the 1850 New York census. Film No. 017054, Page 386,Line 28, Chenango, last on the reel. Three other Browns on the same page:Eleazer, 72, farmer; Eleazer Jr., 27, farmer; and Peleg M., 35, farmer.All born in New York. They would be his father and two brothers. Brown Gen., Vol.II, lists German S. Brown's marriage and says he had a daughter and threesons. Assorted deeds recorded in Broome County Clerk's Office indicateEleazer Brown III sold all or some of his land to sons: Hiram, Chauncey C., PelegM., German S., Jerome B. and Eleazer IV. The lands were located betweenChenango and Conklin, in what is now Binghamton, Broome County, New York. Theproperties apparently were located on the north side of the SusquahannaRiver. Details of the completed transactions, with lands being deeded back and forth, various mortgages, etc., are found on Film 573101, Liber 40, Page 390 (two transactions, same date Dec. 23, 1853, with German S.deeding some land to Eleazer); Film 573104, Liber. 46, Page 485, Sept. 8, 1856,two deals between German S. and Giles Orcutt, all Binghamton property; Film573095, Liber 27, March 27, 1845, Eleazer III to six sons; Film 573091 (second half of reel), Liber 20, Pages 331 and 332, involving Eleazer IIIand Isaac D. Lyon and his wife Ruth. Death info from Film 809370: Broome Co. Surrogate's Office. No. ofestate is 30; Date of Letters is May 5, 1860; Letters of Administration,Book L, Page 214? 1850 census name of German P. in error. All land dealssay German S., as well as death record. 1855 N.Y. census taken June 14 lists age as 36, b. Herkimer Co.,landowner, farmer, lived 22 years in town. Found in census afterBinghamton. Says Caroline M. had lived in town for 11 years. Since yearof her marriage? It also says she was born in Pennsylvania. (Wood FamilyIndex indicates born in New Milford.) Census says children all born inBroome Co. Most of the information re the Brown family lineage from Edward Brownedown through German S. Brown, his brothers and sisters and some of their children comes from Brown Genealogy, Volumes I and II.
