• Notes

  Lewis Brown was born in Hanover, Luzerne, Pennsylvania, USA in 1857. In 1860, Lews Brown was residing in Hanover, Luzerne, Pennsylvania, USA with his parents and siblings. Lewis Brown had not been found in the 1870 census. In 1880, Lewis Brown was residing in Beloit, Rock, Wisconsin, USA, by himself and employed as a painter. In 1885, Lewis Brown was residing in Belmont, Woodson, Kentucky, USA, with his wife and ten month old son George. He was employed as a farmer. (There were other Browns living nearby. They have not been identified as relatives, but may be a source for future research.) In 1900, Lewis Brown was residing in Beloit, Rock, Wisconsin, USA with his wife and children. He was employed as a merchant. In 1910, Lewis Brown was residing in Beloit, Rock, Wisconsin, USA with his wife and children. He was employed as a painter. In 1920, Lewis Brown was residing in Beloit, Rock, Wisconsin, USA with his wife and daughter, Norma and her husband. He was employed as a paper hanger. Lewis Brown died in 1927. I believe the following note was from Bill Hancock: "Son George H. Brown was born in Beloit, WI June 23, 1884. Sometime afterwards the Lewis C. Brown family, moved to Kansas, ultimately Yates Center, Woodson Co. as son Fred A. was born in Kansas Sept. 14, 1888. Also in Yates Center with them, judging by the number of family pictures taken by photographers in Yates Center, were William F. Hatch and family. Perhaps the entire Henry F. Hatch family were in Yates Center. Research the land records in Yates Center at some point."
