Phyllis,

Thank you for your input. I have a copies of the deeds of sale for some of
the Winebrenner land. Actually Morris and wife Hannah sold some land ( not
sure if it was all of it) to son Morris Jr. for $1.00. Later Morris and
wife Millie sold some to the Peoples Mining Company and Morris Jr. also lost
land to a bad dept.

I'm sorry I should have done a "proof" read of what I wrote! To cut to the
chase I want to know the date that Little Brown Lake was formed.

Thank you.

Thanks to the help of the list I was able to locate Little Brown Lake in
Garrett County in August. I also ran into more Crowe cousins that live on
the Avilton/Lonaconing Road and who's property is near the lake. It was
mentioned to me that the lake wasn't always there but I didn't get a time
frame as to when it was formed. Does anyone know when and what was there
before it was flooded? I kind of have a guess that it was stripped by a
Timber Company before it was made into that lake. Does anyone know of an
Indian camp that was back there? They were Shawnee and Algonquin and later
moved on to Pennsylvania taking an old Indian trail that runs back there as
told to me by a cousin whose 93 year old aunt grew up back in those woods.
I don't know of the name of the trail. They were still back there in
possibly the 1920's or 30's. They may have been run off by a Mining/Timber
company which bought land in Midlothian from Morris Winebrenner before his
death about 1850. On checking a map I see the lake lines up fairly well to
the backside of Midlothian and that there is still some strip mining noted
on the present day map.

Thanks for any information or advice on how I many further research this.

Ken - John & Elizabeth's daughter Sarah was born Dec 12, 1813; she is the
sister to my husband's grandfather Joshua Bowman.

These are the Sarah Bowman's that I have on file:

Parent/Spouse Report
NameParents
Sarah Bowman, 12 Dec 1813 Bowman, John, Sr. Beeghley, Elizabeth Barbara
m. Grime, John

Sarah Bowman, 22 Feb 1873Bowman, Solomon Summy, Elizabethm Runner,

Sarah Etta Bowman, 05 Nov 1873Bowman, Joshua H. Royer, Sevilla m. Fike,
Ami K.

Sarah Sally Bowman, 14 Feb 1848Bowman, Daniel Boger, Magdalinam. Phelps,

I don't have a Sarah born in 1805--heaven knows Bowman was a popular name.

Carol,
Have tried locating land records which would show who bought the land from
Morris Winebrenner? It would probably be recorded at Allegany Co.
courthouse.
Send for an index of land transactions for Morris and it might show
something.
