BROWN, James H; OR,USA; c. 1853-1880
BROWN, Henry (Hank) logger; b 9 Mar 1864 in Elkhorn? OR; marr Della
(Belle) SYRON abt 1898; d 20 Dec 1934 in Sheridan, Yamhill Co, OR.
Della was b 5 Feb 1878 in Polk Co, OR; dau. of Montgomery SYRON, and
Mary Elizabeth LYNCH. Della d 22 Apr 1911 in Black Rock, Polk Co, OR
(a short-lived logging town west of Dallas).
Looking for ancestors and/or descendents of this Hank & Della BROWN. I
am their g-grandson.
I believe Hank's parents were James H. BROWN and Nancy READ JAMES, who
married 27 Feb 1853 in Polk Co, OR according to Donation Land Claim
#4797. James H. Brown had a DLC near Montgomery Syron's homestead,
and also about 2 miles away from another James H. Brown's DLC.
"My" James H. Brown was said to be "of Mercer Co, KY", b 1826. I
don't know if that means he was born in Mercer Co, or if he moved from
there when he came out to OR. Help!
