Levi Brown
was Elisha Brown's brother. Levi married Lydia Briggs. She was one of triplets. Levi and Lydia had
three sons, Albert (died as an infant), George and Willis. Levi is the Uncle of Will Lincoln Brown.
Levi is buried with his wife and sons at the Quaker Burying Ground in North Collins, NY. Levis was
the "Marshal" (that is, census-taker) for the 1855
NY Census of Evans Twp., so it is his actual handwriting that appears on
this
census image of the page
where his family is enumerated. His home and farm was in the SW
1/4 of Section 16 of that township.
