Henry Boardman Brann/Brown/Brawn

continuing from the previous post, as you can see the family interchanges between Brann, Brown, and Brawn. in this book they discuss Henry under the last name Brown. his birth record states Brann. i found a couple of census records that state Brawn. they all point to the same person as his birth record matches that of his birth date stated in this book.

digging deeper-Brawn/Brann/brown family of Winslow Maine area

I’m researching a specific family that I have yet to find an accurate tree-i’m sure one exists or at least pieces of that tree exist in a book somewhere.

This is on John Brann (1800-1885) probably born in Frankfort Maine and Catherine Richards 1789-1872 (who had married a Warren prior). Their children together were Henry, Job, Hiram, and Catherine. John’s wife Catherine is seen later in Winslow living with two of her Warren children under the last name of Brawn. I’ve seen one tree have John listed as Job or Isaiah(source was a message board post apparently) with a Mary Warren Spencer as his wife which is not accurate. someone who descends from Catherine and her first husband Samuel Warren did not know about the Brawn family. my daughter has at least one fairly close DNA to a descendent of Catherine and a Samuel as well.

There are lots of Jobs, Henry’s, hirams throughout that tree. the son Henry Robinson Brann, from whom my daughter and husband trace their ancestry to, ended up interchanging his last name between Brawn and Brown, mostly stuck to Brown.

the info the Richards/Warren family has on Catherine Richards Warren matches Catherine Brawn’s info for date of death from the cemetary collection on familysearch.org

on find a grave, someone posted a picture of her gravestone: find a grave

this is from the message board post that helped me find out all this info and tie it together. one error is that Sophronia was a Brawn-she is actually from Catherine’s first marriage so her maiden name is Warren.  otherwise it wouldn’t make sense that Jon and Catherine were married at their own daughters home especially during that time period! and the info checks out on Johns marriage to Rosella Bowden.
