His father, Amos Brainard Sr. one of the earliest settlers of Newburgh, Ohio made his western venture when nearly 50 years of age. He was a farmer and shoemaker, before coming to Newburgh and lived on a farm near Newburg, OH toiling early and late to clear it of the timber and heavy undergrowth that covered it.
Amos was 28 yrs old when his father, Amos Brainerd, Sr., met with a sudden and violent death. One day, in 1823, his father was in a field at work with a yoke of oxen, when a furious storm of wind and rain broke upon him, and while hastening back to his dwelling, a falling tree crushed out his life.
