(1) In 1883, in a biographical sketch of Dr. Iral L Brown of Montgomery County, Indiana,
we find the following uncle described:
Elijah, who as born in Kentucky came to this county in 1831, married Sarah Lewis at the
crossing of the Raccoon, and subsequently farmed in Boone County until his death.
The Browns in question start in Virginia, then move to Floyd/Perry County Kentucky ca 1800
and stay there until some of the family moved to Indiana in about 1830.
