Notes:

The birth of Ammi T. Brown is documented in "Connecticut Town Birth Records, pre-1870 (Barbour Collection)," Brooklyn Vital Records, Vol. 1, p. 232, in which he is identified as Amma Tufts Brown, b. Nov 22 1799 in Brooklyn, Connecticut, son of Rufus & Mary. Although other variations of his name have been found in census records, he seems to have generally identified himself as Ammi T. Brown. He was named for his uncle, Ammi Tufts, the husband of his mother's sister Lucy.

His marriage to Annis is documented only by their appearance together in the 1850 Census of Otsego County, New York. Other than the births of his sons Ammi A. in Boston in 1829 and Andrew in New York in 1834, we have no record of Ammi T. Brown's whereabouts between his birth in Connecticut in 1799 and his appearance in the 1840 Census in Otsego County.

The name Ammi is from the Hebrew, meaning "my people."

Notes:

Very little has been found regarding Ammi Almanzia Brown and wife Almira Sanders. It is not known for sure when or where they were married or when they moved to Minnesota. Born in Massachusetts in 1829, Ammi was found in the 1840 Census with his parents and brother residing in Burlington, Otsego Co, NY. He was next found in the 1855 State Census of Otsego County, New York, along with his first wife Deborah and their daughter Ida. Five years later, the 1860 Census found him residing in Crawford County, Wisconsin with Deborah, and their two children, Ida and Edwin. (Further evidence of this first marriage is his 1898 application to the Washington Soldiers Home, on which he stated that he had two children, ages 44 and 16.) He was a resident of Palmyra, Jefferson Co, Wisconsin in Aug 1862 when he entered military service for the Civil War. Ammi's and Almira's marriage must have occurred upon Ammi's return from Civil War duties, as they are found together in the 1870 Census in Guilford, Chenango Co, New York. They were next found in the 1885 Census of Wadena Co, Minnesota, with son Addison.

Circumstances taking Ammi from Minnesota (possibly by way of California) to the state of Washington in 1893 are unknown. An affidavit by son Addison Avery Brown, dated Aug 21 1935 at Clarksburg WV, regarding establishment of Addison's birthdate, stated that his family had moved from Minnesota to Montesano, Washington, when he was about nine years old, that the family Bible had been destroyed in a house fire about three years later, that his mother had died when he was about six years old, that his father had died when he was about 18 years old, and that he had no living siblings.

Ammi remarried twice after Almira's Dec 1887 death, first to a second Deborah S. in 1888 in California. They divorced in 1894 in Seattle or Tacoma. He married again in 1895 in Tacoma to a Rachel A. But she left him within a couple of years, though they apparently never divorced.

Addison Avery Brown always gave his parents' names as Ammi Almanzia Brown and Almira Saunders (or Sanders), and official records support that. But Addison's obituary identified his parents as Adli Brown and Rachel Sanders. The basis for that information is not known, other than an apparent confusion of his mother with his stepmother. Ammi's middle name Almanzia has been found in only two documents, son Addison's delayed birth certificate, and Addison's application to the Modern Woodmen of America.

Son Addison's birth certificate, which was not registered until 1943 when he was a longtime resident of Doddridge County, WV, identified his father as Ammi Almanzia Brown, age 54 at the time of Addison's 1881 birth, born in Massachusetts, occupation carpenter; and his mother as Almira Saunders Brown, age 39 at time of Addison's birth, born in New York. Information supporting the delayed filing was provided in affidavit by Edith Maria Weeden, 20 Brown Avenue, Norwich, Chenango County, NY, who was identified as Addison's cousin. Addison always told his son Armand that Edith was Addison's only living relative outside the immediate family. Edith was later found to be Almira Sanders' niece, a daughter of her sister Mary Sanders Terwilliger.

Civil War Service Records reflect that Ammi A. Brown, a resident of Palmyra, Wisconsin, served as a Private with Co A of the Wisconsin 1st Heavy Artillery Regiment from Aug 1862 to Jun 1865. Applications to the Washington Soldiers Home in 1897, 1898 and 1899 show this to be the same Ammi A. Brown, born Sep 13 1829 in Boston, Massachusetts, carpenter by trade, who was the husband of Almira and the father of Addison. He applied for a Civil War pension on Sep 16 1890, classification "Invalid," which likely corresponds to what is now called "disabled."

Census records before 1850 listed only the head of household by name. The following is the household of Ammi Tufts Brown, father of Ammi A. Brown.
1840 Census, Burlington, Otsego Co, New York:
Household of Ammi T. Brown
1 male age 40-50 (this would be Ammi T. Brown, who we know from the 1870 Census was born about 1799)
1 male age 10-15 (i.e., Ammi A. Brown, b. 1829)
1 male age 5-10 (i.e., Andrew J. Brown, b. 1834)
1 female age 40-50 (i.e., Annis)
NOTE: Daughter Julia is not accounted for.

No record of Ammi A. Brown was found in any 1850 Census. However, the following census entry cannot be ignored:
1850 Census, Hillsborough County, New Hampshire (Town of Milford), enumerated on Aug 20 1850:
Ai Brown, 22, b. Massachusetts, carpenter; Rosina Brown, 21, b. Mass; Lola (Lela ?) Brown, 1, b. New Hampshire.
In the next household:
Levi Tuffts, 50, cabinet maker; Mary W. Tuffts, 43; Helen Tuffts, 6. Birthplace for all indicated as New Hampshire, but the use of ditto marks under Lola Brown, above, leaves open the possibility that Massachusetts was intended. It is noteworthy that Ammi A. Brown's father, Ammi Tufts Brown, was named for his uncle, Ammi Tufts, the husband of his mother's sister Lucy (Williams) Tufts.

Minnesota Land Records, Document 16156, St. Cloud Land Office, on file at U.S. Bureau of Land Management, show that Ammi A. Brown purchased 80 acres of land on Dec 16 1890, with the following legal description: Aliquot Parts S1/2SE, Base Line 5TH PM, Fractional Section No, Township 134 N, Range 34 W, Section # 4.

In "The Famous & Not So Famous," published by the Verndale Historical Society in 1987, it is noted that the relationship between the many Brown families who settled there has not been entirely determined. Of the many pages devoted to settlers of the Brown surname, only the following three entries appear regarding this one:
(1) "Architect and Builder. I am prepared to take contracts for erecting buildings of all kinds. Plans and specifications furnished on short notice. Stair building a specialty." [Wadena County Tribune, Dec 5 1878, attributed to A. A. Brown]
(2) "A. A. Brown has erected a barn near Verndale." [Verndale Journal, Dec 26 1879]
(3) "The A. A. Brown Furniture, 1882, is mentioned in 'Bartlett Township History,' Volume I." It is noted that there were apparently two A. A. Browns, Ammi Almanzia and Albert A., both carpenters and residing in Verndale at that time.

Based strictly on the two Censuses and on son Addison's birth certificate, Ammi would have been born either ca 1840, ca 1832 or ca 1827; but entries on his applications to the Washington Soldiers' Home consistently and specifically state his birth date as Sep 13 1829. Ammi Almanzia Brown was thought by family lore to have died at age 74 of apoplexy, although son Addison, born in 1881, recalled that he was about 18 at the time of his father's death, which would have been shortly after Ammi's last admission to the Washington Soldiers' Home in Orting, Pierce Co, WA in 1899. Discovery of his grave at the Washington Soldiers Home Cemetery in Orting shows that Ammi Brown's death occurred on Jun 20 1899, also reflected in Pierce County death records.

Ammi A. Brown, age 57, nativity Massachusetts, occupation carpenter, local residence Escondido, date of registration Feb 13 1888.
(NOTE: "Great Register" is simply the California name for voter registration records. It probably comes from the fact that the old registration books were huge and very heavy. The pages in the book are arranged alphabetically with each new registration appearing under the previous one. California voter registration began in 1867, the state legislature required each county to record voter information on the local level. The registers contained the voter's name, age, occupation, birthplace, when and where the granting of U.S. citizenship occurred and the court where that took place.

Notes:

Born in Minnesota in 1881, Addison Brown moved from there to the state of Washington with his father in June 1893. Federal Census data of Jun 5 1900 identifies Addison Y. [sic] Brown, age 19, residing in Satsop, Chehalis County (now known as Grays Harbor County), Washington as a servant and farm laborer in the household of Edward F. Foster, b. Aug 1862 in Idaho. Addison's birthdate was given as Aug 1880 [sic], birthplace Minnesota, father's birthplace Massachusetts, mother's birthplace New York. Edward Foster's wife Mary was shown as born in Apr 1864 in West Virginia. The Fosters' neighbors were the family of Jasper and Virginia Mowry; they and the oldest five of their seven children were born in West Virginia, the younger two born in Washington. We can only speculate that it was through the Fosters and/or the Mowrys that Addison was somehow introduced to Nancy "Babe" Haught of Doddridge County and eventually came to West Virginia. This is supported by the fact that Jasper Mowry appeared in the 1870 Census of Doddridge County (New Milton Twp) as the 9-year-old son of George & Mary Mowry, and that Jasper N. Mowry & Jennie (nickname for Virginia) Knight were married in Doddridge County on Mar 10 1856.

Census data of April 19 1910 states that Addison Brown was a 28-year-old laborer living in Montesano Precinct, County of Chehalis (now Grays Harbor County), Washington, with place of birth as Minnesota in 1881, residing as a "hired man" in the household of John C. Smith (age 52, born in Wisconsin) and his wife of 27 years, Jennie C. (age 47, born in West Virginia), and their children. Addison must have come to West Virginia soon thereafter, as he and Nancy "Babe" Haught were married Dec 20 1910 in West Union, and daughter Waneta was born Oct 23, 1911.

In an affidavit dated Aug 21 1935 at Clarksburg WV, regarding establishment of his birthdate, Addison stated that his family had moved to Montesano, Washington when he was about nine years old, that the family Bible had been destroyed in a house fire about three years later, that his mother had died when he was about six years old, that his father had died when he was about 18 years old, and that he had no living siblings.

Addison always told his son Armand that his only living relative not descended from him was a cousin, Edith Maria Weeden, whose address was 10 Guernsey Street, Norwich (Chenango County), NY. We have since determined that Edith Weeden was the wife of Archer Lewis Weeden (b. Mar 18 1870) (married May 20 1891) and was born Edith Maria Terwilliger in New York on Feb 13 1873, daughter of Andrew Jackson Terwilliger (1829-1904) and Mary Esther Sanders (1842-1919) (married Dec 12 1871). Census data shows that Mary Esther Sanders was a sister of Almira Sanders, Addison's mother. It was Edith Maria Weeden who in January 1943 provided an affidavit supporting the filing of Addison's delayed birth certificate in Verndale, Wadena County, Minnesota.
