THE DESCENDANTS OF JAMES BROWN AND ISABELLE A. SHIELDS

 

Generation No. 1

James Brown was born in England, and died March 15, 1906 in Indiana County, PA. at the Greenwich mining operation, mine #4, near Starlight, Indiana County, PA in a mining accident. He married Isabelle A. "Belle" Shields on April 23, 1881 in Dushore, PA, according to the Sullivan Review for April 28, 1881. Reverend R. S. Wagner, the Lutheran minister, was presiding and the marriage report says the bride and groom were both living in Bernice, PA at the time of their marriage. Isabelle was born January 1, 1859 in PA, and died May 4, 1918 in Dushore, PA.

Prior to 1876, Isabelle was married to Moses Eilenberger. Their daughter, Marietta, was born July 9, 1876 in Asylum, Bradford County, PA and died February 25, 1960. This child, Marietta, married William Norman Thayer when she grew up. Thereafter, she remarried and went by Marietta Thayer-Lowery, the Lowery surname being that of her new husband. She is buried at St. Francis of Assisi Cemetery in Mildred, PA. You can read more about the Thayer family in The Faces and Families of Old Sullivan County (Group Two) on this web site.

As it turns out, Moses had also been married before he met Isabelle. Information at the Bradford County Historical Society in Towanda, PA tell us that he was first married to Marietta Bacon on October 20, 1839. She died February 15, 1875, age 54 years, 6 months and 15 days. He then married Isabelle on October 4, 1875. However, Moses died himself on December 26, 1876 at age 64 years and one month. He is buried in Durell, also in Bradford County, PA. Moses had ten children by his first marriage. He was 47 years older than Isabelle, his second wife!! Moreover, he named the child of his second marriage, Marietta, after his deceased first wife. Very interesting!

Notes for James Brown: Mary Lou Bordwell has provided the following information on the Brown family. Carol Brotzman has incorporated additional family information, elaborating specifically on Theresa Brown Huffmaster's family. Information from the Bradford County History was also added. This new History was compiled in 1995 by individual families submitting their own family information.

There is also additional information about the Huffmaster family at The Descendants of Frederick Huffmater and Sally Ann Thrasher by Tina Pastusic.

This was the family legend about James Brown that has been honorably carried forward. According to Mary Lou, My grandmother Fostina told me that James ran from prosecution as a young man in England. He was in a brawl and killed a man so he came to the US.

James Brown would have had to have been divorced from Isabelle Shields some time between 1887 and 1892. The census of Cherry Township for 1900 lists Jacob and Isabelle A. Kinsley married for 29 years (although not to each other obviously for that entire peirod, and it shows Arch and Henry "Kinsley" living with them. The census says they have 5 children with 4 living. The children probably were adopted by Jacob Kinsley and given the Kinsley name when young, or maybe the census taker just assumed that was their surname! They do, however, use the "Brown" name they were born with as adults.

Notes for Isabelle A. Shields:

Isabelle's father, Thomas J. Shields, was born in Ireland and her mother, Edy A. Shields, in the United States. They appear in the 1860 Federal Census for Colley, PA, with Isabelle, age 2, and several other children.

Children of James Brown and Isabel Shields are:

i. John Brown, born April 13, 1882; died young.

ii. Theresa R. Brown, born August 20, 1883 according to headstone; died November 16, 1903 in Cherry Township, Sullivan County, PA.

iii. Henry Brown, born July 08, 1885 in Cherry Township, Sullivan County, PA; died June 16, 1957 in Cortland, NY. His picture is at the head of this page. The article accompanying the picture reads:

CORTLAND BLACKSMITH, in the business 41 years: Harry Brown, who started as a boy

Cortland, Nov. 5--A man who has seen a complete change in the blacksmith business, but who still finds plenty of work to do in it, is Harry Brown, 53, of 92 South Pendleton Street. He has pursued his trade for 41 years, starting in boyhood.
"There's lots of business, but you have to travel to get it", Mr. Brown commented. Blacksmithing is no longer a business in which a man sets up a shop and expects customer do drive their team to the door, he explains.
"There are too many cars on the road; farmers won't take the risk", he says.
Mr. Brown got his start in the Pennsylvania coal mining district, where he shoed mules and horses. He has been 22 years in Cortland, and has passed the last seven years "on the road".
He caries his anvil and firebox on the rear of a light truck, and he makes regular calls in Cortland County, and in parts of Onodaga and Tompkins Counties.

iv. Arch K. Brown, born December 05, 1887 in Mildred, PA; died June 7, 1970. He is buried in Dushore, PA. He married Agnes Foote (1895-1981). Both are buried at Fairview Cemetery in Dushore, PA. His picture is at the foot of this page.

Notes for Henry Brown:

Henry was a blacksmith by trade. His job was shoeing horses for the railroad! In fact, both he and his wife Lucy worked for the railroad. She was a railroad cook. His daughter Fostina recalled how enormously strong he was. Once an automobile got stuck in a rut. Henry just lifted it right up. He had seen the coal mines kill his father. He wasn't going to have that happen to him, so he left PA about 1920. There were no coal mines in Cortland, NY where they settled. Mary Lou Bordwell, his great-grand-daughter, can remember sitting on his lap on their front porch in Cortland. He was a big man with big hands. He died two days past her fourth birthday in 1947.
