John BROWN m. Catherine Devore (?) in Floyd Co., Indiana in or abt 1851, and had five sons
during the 1850s: William, Andrew, John, James, and Charles. Before 1860, John BROWN died
and in 1861 Catherine remarried to Hiram HOPPER, her neighbor in Greenville, IN. The boys,
with the exception of Andrew who died before 1860, remained with Catherine after she
married Hiram. Also remaining with Catherine, and least initially, was Seth BROWN, born in
Iowa in 1836, who was John's son by his first Marraige. By 1880, only the youngest
son, Charles, remained in the HOPPER household.
By 1900, it appears that all of the sons had left Greenville for parts unknown.
Can anyone provide additional information on any or all of these sons of John and
Catherine BROWN, all of whom were born in Greenville during the 1850s?
