    • RESEARCH_NOTES:
      1. Censuses:
      1840 US: Jackson Twp., Clermont, Ohio:
      James Brown, males: 1<5, 1@20-29; females: 1<5, 2@5-9, 1@20-29.
      On the same page we also find:
      David Brown, males: 1@10-15, 1@60-70; females: 1@60-70. [8 entries from James.]
      Abner Brown, males: 1<5, 1@5-10, 1@10-15, 1@20-30; females: 1<5, 1@5-10, 1@30-40. [Immediately next door to James.]
      Ephraim Pridmore, males: 1@5-10, 1@10-15, 2@15-20, 1@50-60; females: 1@5-10; 1@10-15, 1@40-50. [3 entries from James; most likely Sarah's uncle Ephriam Predmore.]

      1850 US: Jackson Twp., Clermont, Ohio, 19 Jul 1850, 103/103 (father David and brother Abner live within a few entries of James):
      James Brown, 44, farmer, NJ.
      Sarah, 39, NJ.
      Cenith, 14, f., OH.
      Henry, 13, OH.
      Lois, 11, OH. [Named after her aunt.]
      Azubia A., 9, OH. [Named after great grandmother, wife of Benjamin Predmore.]
      Isaac, 7, OH.
      Rebecca, 5, OH.
      William, 3, OH.
      Elizabeth, 16, OH.

      1860 US: Fayetteville, Perry Twp., Brown, OH, 21 Jun 1860, 453/453:
      Sarah Brown, 48, widow, $200, NJ.
      Lowis, 19, domestic, $100, OH.
      Subima [Azubia], 18, domestic, OH.
      Isaac, 17, OH.
      Rebecca, 14, OH.
      William, 12, OH.
      Thomas, 10, OH.

      2. We find an interesting entry in Familysearch's "Ohio Marriages, 1800-1958": David Brown and Barbary Turner or Winner, 7 Dec 1828, Brown Co., OH, per Ohio-VR; Source Film Number: 384273. Due to all pre 1855 Winners in Brown co. being related to Jonathan Winner, it would seem logical to assign Barbara as a daughter to Jonathan. This however does not prove out and is actually refuted by the 1850 census. We don't find any younger David and Barbara in a nationwide 1850 census search; however, 1850 shows a couple of exactly the same name in adjoining Clermont co. in their 70s. Barbara is from PA and not NJ and this was most likely a second marriage for David. Mary's surname of Turner or Winner is coincidental. David Brown is the father of James Brown of this database and others in the area including an Abner Brown as well as perhaps Benjamin Winner's wife Polly/Mary Brown. Ephraim Predmore, brother of Jonathan's wife Sarah Predmore, also married a wife named Mary A. Brown who could perhaps be a sister of David's. We follow David in the censuses as follows:
      1830 US: Perry Twp., Brown, OH (immediately next to each other):
      Jonathan Minor [Winner], males: 1@20-30, 1@50-60; females: 1<5, 2@10-15, 1@15-20, 1@20-30, 1@50-60.
      Benjamin Minor [Winner], males: 1<5, 1@20-30; females 2<5, 1@5-10, 1@20-30.
      David Brown, males: 1<5, 1@10-15, 1@15-20, 1@20-30, 1@50-60; females: 1@20-30, 1@50-60. [Appears to be a multi-generational family.]
      1840 US: Jackson Twp.: David Brown, males: 1@10-14, 1@50-59; females: 1@50-59. On same page is Ephraim Predmore who married Mary A. Brown.
      1850 US: Jackson Twp., Clermont, OH, 19 Jul 1850, 96/96 ( In the same census five entries away is Abner Brown, 39, NJ, with wife Martha, 45, PA, and 8 children with the oldest being David, 20. Abner is probably a son of David.):
      David Brown, 72, farmer, $1000, NJ.
      Barbary, 70, PA.
