Age 47. s/o Alexander Brown I. w/ Lucy Hoard. http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/HOARD/2003-06/1055903432 Article taken from "The Early History of Fluvanna Chautauqua County, N.Y. with numerous biographical and family sketches by Betty Sherwin" . Alexander Brown, Jr. and Lucy Hoard I his wife, and two children, came to Fluvanna between Dec. 25, 1825 and October 1827. He built a shingled house opposite Minor Shaw near the lake shore in 1828. Mr. Brown also built a tannery near the western part of where the "Johnson Ice House" stood. It was operated by him for a number of years. At that time tanbark cost $1.50 per cord and was ground under a large stone. As all tanneries at that time used this method for grinding bark, a description would be of interest. These stories were circular, about eight inches thick and about seven feet across. This was set on edge with a horizontal shaft attached to a revolving center post; a horse was hitched to this shaft and the stone was rolled in a circle on the bark placed on the floor. Some times water power was used for this purpose. In 1845 or 1850 steam came into use for propelling machinery for the larger tanneries. This small tannery was a convenience to the early settlers, as nearly all farmers at that early period had leather made for their family boots and shoes, and also for other purposes. Mr. Brown conducted this tannery until about 1846. Mr. Brown died May l3,1849. Mr. and Mrs. Brown were the parents of ten children. Lorenzo and Harry came with their parents; Samuel, Almon, Abagail, Alexander, George, Jane and Sarah, were born in Fluvanna. Lorenzo, unmarried, for many years, lived in the house now the home of James L. Brown (a nephew). Samuel Brown married Abagail Gates; Abagail married Isaac Sherman; both of these families lived in Fluvanna until their death. Sarah Brown lived with Mrs. Sherman until her death in 1917. Almon Brown lives at Chautauqua; George and Jane went west to Kansas. Alexander Brown enlisted and served during the Civil War. At the close of the war he returned and married Sarah Hudson, March 1866. They were the parents of five children. Hudson, married Eva Rhodes, lives in Harmony; Minnie married George Fargo, also lives in Harmony; James, married Grace Stephenson. He is a prominent citizen of Fluvanna. He owns and operates a saw mill and cider mill. He was elected school trustee at different times, was elected Highway Superintendent for the Town of Ellicott 1919, and is prominent in other activities. Mr. and Mrs. Brown are the parents of five children. After Alexander Brown and Sarah Hudson were married, he bought the house which stood across from the old homestead of the Bentleys and moved it down to his farm, corner of the Strunk road where it now is. This house was built on land owned by Walter Simmons and was moved to the corner opposite the Bentley house sometime about 1832. Warner Shaw and his mother lived there until after he was married in 1836. Mrs. Shaw then lived alone until the farm was sold to Mr. Bentley in 1846. Mr. Bentley sold the corner where the house stood to George Chase soon after they purchased the farm in 1849.
