Rufus Fayette Brown or Eunice Brown of Coventry, CT
Posted by: Stephen Hansen (ID *****2126) Date: May 07, 2009 at 13:15:34

I have recently extended my great-grandmother's family back to her grandfather, Rufus Fayette Brown, born c. 1824 in Connecticut. The earliest source I have for Rufus is his entry at age 26 in the 1850 US census for Coventry, CT.

In that census he is living with his wife Nancy A., their newborn daughter Francis L., and what is probably his grandmother, Eunice Brown, age 84.

I also note that the 1830 and 1840 US census for Coventry also list a Rufus Brown. This would not be the Rufus Brown of the 1850 census, but could be his father's entry. The head of household for the previous entry in that census is one David Brown, whose age would be appropriate for that Rufus's father. David Brown is living with one other, a female whose age is consistent with that of Eunice Brown of the 1850 census.

I would appreciate any additional information regarding this family.

Sincerely,
Stephen Hansen
