Hi Homer
I think I recall you oncehad a William Bridges in yourfamily --he came over on the little james shipin 1623 to Charlestown Mass----we have that name also andG'pa Brown said we were related to Wm Bridgesby a Brown...
Alsowe have a Lemuel Brown babt 1793/4mass that married a Orra (aura? ) Bessey----it is onthe dgtr's death cert that her mother was a Bessey(Bessy) andOrra diedsept 4 1867waterbury washington co VT
It has been areal tough onefinding this orra Bessey...
she had to be born abt 1796 mass ---
do you have any clues to this one?
Lemuel Brownmarr orra Bessey---they lived in Whitehall washington co NY abt 1835 when their son John Brown was born...I haven't been able to find a birth on either Lemuel nor orra-----but we thoughtJohn Brown was the father of Lemuel when in Whately Franklin co Mass history bookwe foundLemuel's--Bradishand their sister Waitstill who d 3 weeks old...so all 3 children had to be born in mass...and the father was William Brown b 1744 Colchester CT--marr waitstill Swift.
