We now have three genealogy files on this site: our main database which is a combined ‘Ives-Leedom’ tree, plus two additional working trees with so-far unconnected people I've found along the way, ‘Leedoms-unknown’ and ‘Netherlands-unknown’. All of the Search results will identify which tree contains the individual or place in question.

Different sources sometimes have conflicting information and there are undoubtedly a few typographical errors in here as well. Please feel free to send us any corrections to errors you may find in our files. Additions are always welcome too!

    • from 'American Biographical History of Eminent and Self-Made Men with Portrait Illustrations on Steel, Volumes I-II':

      Hiram Brown of St. Joseph, Michigan, was born at Locke, now Summer Hill, Cayuga County, New York, June 15, 1804. His father, Liberty Brown, was one of the first settlers in that part of the country, and resided there until his death, which occurred in 1845. He was a native of Windsor, Hampshire County (now in Berkshire), Massachusetts, and, after exploring the western part of New York, settled in Locke; there he married Phebe Hopkins, who died in 1824.

Hopkins, A.W. Hopkins, and J.E. Tuckerman, 1917), and Liberty Brown's probate records.
