I am trying to locate the children of William and Sarah Miller Brown.
Sarah is the daughter of John J. Miller and Rebecca Swerns Miller of Rockingham Co.
Virginia. Several of her brothers migrated from Rockingham County Virginia to Poweshiek
Co. Iowa by 1860. After the death of her mother Rebecca in 1874, her father John J.
Miller sold his property and migrated to Poweshiek Co. Iowa where he died in 1879. In the
Statement of Heirs for John J. Miller, daughter Sarah Brown is living in Muncie Indiana.
Sarah Miller b. 1830 Rockingham Co. Virginia married William Brown August 21 1859 Delaware
County Indiana. I find them on the 1860 Delaware Co. Census and by 1870 Sarah is a widow.
Living in the household is Elizabeth Brown her mother in law b. 1804 North Carolina.
Elizabeth is still living with the family in 1880, after which I loose all track of the
family.
Children of William and Sarah Brown are:
Winfield S. Brown b. 1861 Indiana
Mary A. Brown b. 1864 Indiana
John Brown b. 1868
William Brown b. 1869
Brothers and sisters to Sarah Miller Brown and locations abt 1880:
Jacob Miller - Iowa
Michael Miller - Iowa
Absalom Miller - Iowa
John Miller - Iowa
Mary Miller Dingledine - Virginia
Samuel Miller - Iowa
Elizabeth Miller Roudabush - Virginia
Catherine Miller Niswander - Iowa
Benjamin Miller - Kansas
Thompson Miller - Iowa
Sarah Miller Brown's oldest brother Jacob Miller is my Gr. Gr. Grandfather
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
