We're looking for descendants of Laban and Demaris Barney Brown, who lived
in Seymour Indiana from about 1839 until their deaths. Laban was an early
grocer in Seymour, and the family was prolific and well-known throughout the
county. In particular, we'd like to know if any male Brown descendant of this
family might have submitted a sample for Y-DNA analysis. That may be the only
possible way to discern who Laban's father, William, might have been related
to. I'm happy to correspond and share information with descendants.
