SAMUEL BROWN

A county without the names of Brown, Miller, Smith, and Jones would be sadly 
incomplete, and Monroe has never lacked for any of these. Yet we are able to 
set in order only a few items of our data. A list of the persons present at 
the Samuel Brown sale in 1794, the schedule totaling $426.24, will be of some 
interest, since the names are chiefly of Second Creek district. Matthew 
Alexander, John Akin, William Arbuckle, Thomas Best, William Brown, Samuel 
Brown, John Cantly, James Corbit, John Cornwall, Elijah Cornwall, James 
Dempsey, Hugh Douling, Jonathan Dunbar, William Dunbar, Thomas Flowers, 
Nimrod Foster, Nathaniel Foster, Isaac Foster, John Foster, John Gray, Senr., 
John Gray, Peter Grass (Glass?), James Glenn, Jesse Green, Joseph Ham, Senr., 
Joseph Ham, Junr., David Jarrat, Robert King, William Leach, John Leg, 
Nicholas Leak, Jacob Longingacre, Moses Massy, Henry McCart, Nancy McKensy, 
Will-iam McKinster, Daniel McMullin, Samuel Miller, James Murdock, David 
Nelson, John Perry, Daniel Perry, James Smith, Matthew Wealch, Andrew Young.
