| Notes |
- We have found no record to show when or where Ammi A. Brown's first marriage, to Deborah S. Thompson took place. Her parentage is also not known.
1855 New York State Census, Otsego County (Town of Butternuts), enumerated on Jun 29 1855:
Ammi Brown, 25, b. Massachusetts, carpenter, resident of this town for 2 yrs; wife Deborah S. Brown, 18, b. Otsego Co, resident of this town for 2 yrs; child Ida A. Brown, 1, b. Otsego Co.
1860 Census, Crawford Co, Wisconsin:
Ami Brown, 30, b. New York, occupation (blank); Deborah, 28, b. New York; Ida, 6, b. New York; Edwin, 2, b. Wisconsin.
Although our Ammi Brown was not born in New York, he did live there before coming to Wisconsin. Despite the discrepancy, and the five-year variance in Deborah's age, this appears to be our Ammi with his first wife and their children (Edwin later appears with him in the 1870 Census). Ammi was a resident of Wisconsin when he entered the military in 1862.
No record of this Deborah has been found after this census. It is presumed that she died sometime before 1870, when Ammi was found in Chenango County, New York with his second wife Almira and his and Deborah's son Edwin. However, their daughter Ida is not accounted for in the 1870 Census, That leaves the possibility that Ammi and Deborah divorced and that Ida was with her mother in 1870.
