Thanks for your e-mail. Your info on Abraham & Phylotha's place of marriage is new info to me. Do you have anything else on date or place of their marriage, their parents, etc.

Abraham and Phylotha are my GGG-grandparents.
My info was that they had five grown children, 4 sons & 1 daughter.

The daughter was Mary who married an Abel Krum who had but one child Flora, born in Ashtabula Co, Ohio, who married Edwin Regal and was residing in or around West Springfield, MASS about 1895. That is pretty much I know about her.

Arlineus-(b 1811) my GG-grandfather was married in Astabula Co, Ohio, first to a Sally Turner who died after four children, secondly to Mary Marther who had two children. Arlineus was in Ashtabula from the early 1830's to about early 1860's after a fire destroyed his businesses at Brower's Corner, Jefferson Township, Ashtabula Co., Ohio. He and family moved to Pontiac, Ill until 1885 when he together with his youngest son Martin (my G-grandfather) and his youngest daughter moved to Fullerton, Nance Co., Nebraska. That is where he died and was buried in 1895. I have complete info on most descendants of Arlineus.

Ireneus Brower (b 1816) appears to have tracked the movement of his father from Ohio to Illinois where he ended up in Ottawa, IL. Like Arlineus, Ireneus has married twice and has well documented descendants that I have much info and believe I can find whatever I don't have if you have interest in same. Have seen Ireneus grave at Brower-Hess Cemetary just north of Ottawa.

Hammond Healy (b 1819)came to Nebraska also, settling in and around York, Nebraska before last residing in Sedgwick Co., KS where he died in 1909. Married twice, lots of descendants mostly fully documented if you have interest.

Lot Abraham (b 1821) died 1899 supposedly in Jackson Michigan. Have info on only names of two wives, Cynthia Sage & Mary L & 8 children, 7 of Cynthia. Have never been able to find out anything other than this on Lot Abraham. Will share what I have.

Our oral history is also that Phylotha was related to Noah of dictionary fame. No copyright fees have ever turned up, though.

Martin Brower-my great grandfather had a close friend A.M. Brown or maybe Al Brown who I recollect to have been a college friend from Lombard College which he attended in Galesburg, IL. I have much correspondence of Martin during 1890's and will check to see if I can give you info on this AM or Al Brown. I recall they seemed very close.

Arlineus had a daughter Amogene who married a George Weatherston. There were Weaterstons who have lived almost continuously in Ashtabula Co., Ohio so.

I have all my genealogy stuff on Family Tree Maker software. Am not that expert on gedcom files etc but would be happy to send you hard copy if I can't transmit data by computer.

I would love to have anything you have on any of these Brower lines or any info going back with the Websters & Browns

Thanks again
