“Mr Brown had been in the habit of taking extract of dandelion occasionally for some disorder of the stomach. At 11:00 on the Sunday mentioned he went to his store and took from a shelf what he supposed to be a bottle of dandelion and took about a full teaspoon of it. As soon as he swollowed the drug he realized it was Belladonna instead.” Several doctors tried to save him, but he died.
9. Lorenzo Dow Brown- b 1822 in Virginia, was living in Illinois in 1880
On 8 November 1850 Martin Browne applied for and received 80 acres of bounty land for his service in the War of 1812 under the U.S. act of 28 September 1850. On 23 May 1855 he applied for additional land under the act of 1855.
I did not have a death date until cousin Arline Mosshammer’s pedigree document which states it as 1856.
Hoppes’ book (1925) gives the following:
Martin Brown, Jr., who was the youngest son of Martin Brown, Sr., [he was the second son] came to Indiana in the year 1833, accompanied by his father and brother Friend. He was possibly married when he came to Indiana although we have no definite information along this line. He settled three or four miles west of New Columbus, or Ovid, as it is now called, on Fall Creek.
His children are as follows:
Lorenzo, Martin, Garrett, Harriet (who married Joshua Veech; Eliza, who married Duke Scott; and Emmy, who married a Mr. Johnson and after his death she married a Mr. Lemon. She went west and settled in Los Angeles, California, and was still residing there 20 years ago [1905], at which time she was visited by Alfred Brown.
From History of Madison County, Forkner, 1914:
Adams Township occupies the southeast corner of the county. It is bounded on the north by Union and Anderson Twps., on the east by Henry County, on the south by Hancock County and on the west by Fall Creek Twp. It is gently undulating and watered by Fall Creek and Lick Creek and several small streams. It was one of the first five townships organized in the county and was named for its first white settler, Abraham Adams, who came in 1823, the year Madison County was organized, and built a cabin of round logs a short distance east of the present village of Ovid.
The early settlers sent back to their old homes such fovorable reports that during the next five years a number of immigrants found homes in Adams Township. ...Thornton Rector, who had previously settled in Wayne County, Indiana came in 1828. The next year witnessed the arrival of Hugh and John Gilmore, Samuel and L.D. Reger, Martin Brown, the McCallisters—THomas, William and Garrett—and a few others. The Gilmores and McCallisters came from Western Virginia. Martin Brown and the two Regers also came from that state.
The first log cabin was built by Abraham Adams in 1823. The first frame house was built by Friend Brown, and in 1838 Morris Gilmore built the first brick house...
Martin Browne, Jr., went to Indiana in 1829 and was established there when his father, Martin, Sr., and brothers Abel and Friend came in 1833.
