If you are related to this family, please drop me an email ! Have found new information leading to the parents of Sanford Brown .....

Parmer Sanford Brown was born on September 23, 1830⁶ in Herkimer¹ County, New York. He lived in Granby Township, Oswego County, New York and married² Rosetta Davis on July 29, 1849. He worked as a boatman (bargeman) on the Erie Canal. They moved from there to Gratoit County, Michigan in 1864, finally settling in 1868 on a farm in Clinton County near Elsie, Michigan. They lived there until they divorced. Their oldest son, John Eugene Brown bought the farm from Sanford prior to Sanford leaving Michigan.

On February 26, 1873, in Ovid, Clinton Co, Michigan, Sanford married Madora Emily Page and they moved to Dickinson County, Kansas. They homesteaded there until 1880, when they moved to White County, Indiana near Headlee.

In the fall of 1894, Sanford and Madora moved to Lawrence County, Arkansas. Burt, there oldest son, stayed on the farm until February of 1896. When Sanford returned to Indiana in the summer of 1895 to sell the farm, he took ill and died there on September 21, 1895. He is buried in the Mt. Pleasant (Ploss) Cemetery just south of Headlee³.

William Bert and Mollie (DELZELL) Brown, along with James O. (Mollie's father) & Lloyd Delzell (Mollie's brother) came to Arkansas before February⁴ of 1896. James and Lloyd returned to Indiana and are buried in Pulaski, County, Indiana just north of Headlee.
