ARMSTRONG, BROWN, CAMPBELL, REYNOLDS posted by Maggie Brown Moerdyke on Monday, May 4, 1998

Am working on the BROWN family tree and have indeed worked with Barbara Krooman and Pat who have listed queries on these exact pages - am asking the following: Levi Walter BROWN (certainly a well-known, yet not much written on person in the history of Fulton Co., Wauseon) - need to know where his general store was located and during what years it operated (might have been Burlington?) Any information on Levi Walter BROWN'S parents Benjamin BROWN and Ruth REYNOLDS (I have births,deaths, marriage and location - just interested in tidbits) Daniel BROWN and Sallie Last Name Unknown - parents of Benjamin BROWN - need to confirm death, marriage and birth dates, children, spouses, and dates Daniel BROWN and ? - parents of Daniel BROWN listed above - no idea if they came along with other family members 1835/37 from Vermont Any information you can send my way would be greatly appreciated. Maybe there would be a few newspaper abstracts informative enough to fill in the missing links. Any articles, inscriptions, biographical sketches of the Levi BROWN family please send my way. Also, do you have anything on my great uncle Reas CAMPBELL - he married my great aunt and favorite aunt Ruth ARMSTRONG BROWN (CAMPBELL) who donated her home for the museum - I have absolutely nothing but dates, where he is buried, where he died, not even place of birth is listed, and that he was the retired postmaster (what years?) with two children from a previous marriage. No names given, no ex-spouse amongst all the personal papers I have here - can you help me out, please. Most appreciatively and thank you,
