Moses Brown
Moses, Sr, his son Thomas and John A. first "came to Andrew County," possibly having traveled down the Ohio, Mississippi and Missouri Rivers by steamboats, "and walked across the prairie dividing the Platte and the Grand Rivers and traveled all day without seeing a man or a house or a domestic animal." They finally came to a cabin of a lone hunter named William Wesse who lived on a hill west of the present site of the town of Gentryville. Moses, Thomas and John A stayed that night with the hunter. The next day they walked across Daviess County to arrive on November 18, 1841 at Moses' home on Sugar Creek.
Moses Brown, the son of Jacob and Mary (Armfield) Brown was born in Guilford County, North Carolina and married Hannah Carter, the daughter of Isaac and Mary (Bray) Carter in 1797. To them were born two children---Rachel and Isaac. After the death of his wife Hannah, Moses married Elizabeth Hadley, the daughter of Thomas and Eunice (Jones) Hadley. From 1807 to 1818 Moses and Elizabeth became the parents of six children---Joshua, who was born in 1808; Jacob, in 1809; Hadley, in 1811; Sarah B., in 1814; Thomas, in 1816; Moses, Jr., in 1818.
Moses Brown became a prosperous North Carolina farmer. Moses had purchased 100 acres of land on Forbush Creek before his marriage to Elizabeth Hadley; and in 1808 after his marriage to Elizabeth Hadley he purchased nine acres from his father, Jacob Brown. Later he purchased eighty acres on North Fork of Deep Creek. He also received 110 acres of land in grants from the state of North Carolina. Moses was also active is political and governmental affairs in Surry County, North Carolina, where he lived during his last years in North Carolina. He was appointed constable in 1804 and continued to serve until 1816. In 1806 he served as a deputy sheriff and also as a juror on the Grand Jury and Superior Court. In 1808 he was commissioned by the governor as a captain in the County Militia, in which he served as commander of his regiment for several years
The time came when some of the Brown families began contemplating a movement into the Western Territory. Those planning this journey were Jacob and Mary (Armfield) Brown and some of their children and their families. Among these were Moses and his wife Elizabeth (Hadley) Brown, Thomas and his wife Mary (Hutches) Brown; Jacob Jr., and his wife Abigail (Hadley) Brown; Nancy Anne, the wife of John Hopper; Solomon and his wife, Lydia (Adams) Brown; Mary; Rachael; Isaac Margaret and Jonathan.
Members of the Moses and Elizabeth (Hadley) Brown family, who migrated to Ohio, were Rachel, Moses' daughter by his first wife Hannah Carter, and Rachel's husband Jonathan Adams; Joshua; Jacob A.; Hadley; Sarah; Thomas; and Moses, Jr. The youngest son, Daniel was born in 1822 soon after the family arrived in Preble County.
Some of these Brown families were soon to move to Indiana. By 1825 Moses and Elizabeth Brown and their family had moved from Preble County, Ohio to Henry County, Indiana; Moses "had been granted a land patent of eighty acres." As Moses had done in Ohio, he began building a house and cultivating the soil. In 1830 he was employed to reconstruct the Henry County jail; thus is this project he proved that he also knew carpentry, as occupation that was to continue from his time through six generations of the Brown family. Soon after their arrival Moses and Elizabeth Brown's youngest child Eunice was born.
In 1834, Isaac, the oldest son of Moses and Hannah Carter, who had remained in North Carolina when other members of the Brown family had migrated to Ohio, joined the family in Henry County.
Forty-six members of the Moses Brown and the Peter Dowell families left Indiana in the spring of 1839 in a caravan of twenty-two covered wagons and began their journey to Missouri. Their journey extended into several weary weeks.
Members of the Brown families in the caravan included Moses and Elizabeth (Hadley) Brown, their five sons---Isaac, Joshua, Jacob, Hadley, and Thomas---and their families; Moses and Elizabeth's younger sons, Moses, Jr., and Daniel, and their younger daughter Eunice. Families of Moses Brown's five sons totaled thirty-one members. These were Isaac and Rebecca (Lakey) Brown and their seven children---Marianne Mahalia, Moses Elliot, Heater Delaney, Tennessee, William Alexander, Mary and Sarah; Joshua Hadley and Sarah Ann (Welker) Brown and their six children---- John Adam, Moses G., Noah, Eunice Lucinda and Sarah Jane; Jacob and Sarah P (Clanton) Brown and their four children---Emeline, Elizabeth, Mary and Charles Hadley, Hadley and Anna (Dowell) Brown and their two children---Alfred and Margaret; and Thomas and Mary (Hutchens) Brown and their two sons---Francis Marian and John.
In addition to Anna, the wife of Hadley Brown, and their two children, the Peter Dowells first family included Joel and his wife Sarah (Huston) Easton Dowell and Peter's daughter Mary. Peter's second family included his wife, Mary (Canton) Dowel, and their six children---Henry Martin, Peter Clingman, Lindsia, John Davis, Margaret Elzinah and Alexander.
Members of both the Dowell and the Brown families remained in Indiana. Sarah, the oldest daughter of Moses and Elizabeth (Hadley) Brown and her husband Joseph Jones, did not join the caravan, although they did move to Missouri at a later time. Peter and Margaret Dowell's daughter Delphia and her husband Moses Brown, the son of Isaac Brown, who was the youngest son of Jacob Brown, and her family also remained in Indiana.
When Moses Brown, Sr, and his son Thomas returned to Missouri in the fall of 1841 from a business trip in Indiana, they were accompanied by John A. Brown, a son of Solomon Brown, Moses' brother.
Moses and Elizabeth Brown did not live long after their arrival in Missouri. Moses died in 1843 at the age of sixty-three years, and Elizabeth died three years later at the age of sixty-six. They were buried on their farm in the area that is now the Mitchell Cemetery, located west of Melbourne, Missouri.
