Delaware, Henry, and Wayne Counties

Brown and Related Families

My Brown ancestors were mostly country folks, hard working farmers who settled up in Monroe Township, Delaware County, Indiana, by about 1827. To date, they have been traced from Pennsylvania, Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee, Ohio and then into Wayne, Henry and Delaware Counties, Indiana. The Browns (with a few generations of Quakers), their descendants, and collateral lines have been added to the site.

Other pages are devoted to searchable Delaware, Henry, and Wayne Counties historical data. I would love to add more for the benefit of those researchers living away from Delaware County. If you have any information which would help other researchers, I'd be happy to post it for you on these pages, with your name as contributor. Just email me at the address below.
