      Francis Menifield Brown was born in Virginia. He was the son of William Brown. It is believed that his mother was the daughter of James Strother and her mother a Coleman. It is believed that Francis was born in Fauquier or Culpeper County because of a civil court case his father, William Brown, was involved in, indicating his presents in these counties about the time Francis was born.
     

      1791, Francis arrived in Garrard County, Kentucky as an infant with his family. This is known due to the father's civil court case summons and the fact that he was proceding to Kentucky at the same time. A brother of William Brown stated to the sheriff of Culpepper County, Virginia that William was in Fauquier County and was in the process of leaving for Kentucky.
     
     
      1 September 1812 Francis took a six month military enlistment for A.B. Bell and participated in the War of 1812. He served as a private in Captain James Anderson's 7th Company of Lt. Col.

KY for Francis Brown. 1821 Poll Tax Lists shows 30 acres of land of Boone Creek, Garrard Co., KY for Francis Brown and one black person above the age of 16 years. 1822 Poll Tax List shows 50 acres of land on Boone Creek, Garrard Co., KY and one black person above the age of 16 years. Also shows 5 children, but Francis only had 4 children at this time unless one black person is included in the total count. Another child could not have been born and died to be in the count. 1823 Poll Tax List no longer shows Francis M. Brown from this date on. He is believed to have moved to Washington Co., IN. 7 May 1827 Francis was appointed a road supervisor in Washington Co., IN (probably in Jackson Township). Nicholas S. Smith, (husband of Martha Brown's aunt, Elizabeth (Radcliff) Smith, was also there working as an extra hand for another supervisor in the same line of work. Washington County, Indiana was a predominately Quaker settled area.
     
     
      13 December 1827 Francis and Martha Brown made a government land purchase from the District Land Office at Crawfordville, Indiana while they were living in Washington County, Indiana. The Land consisted of 160 acresin the NE 1/4 section, T15N, R4W (deed entry record, page 107) Monroe Township, Putnam County, Indiana. Land certificate #6077 dated 2 April 1829. 1831 Francis M. Brown supposedly went to Crawford Co., Illinois where the town of Robinson now stands to look over the area before relocating his family to this area. He probably went to see Nicholas S. and Elizabeth (Radcliff) Smith and stayed with them during his visit. 14 September 1832, upon returning from his trip to Crawford Co., IL, he decided to sell out and move. Francis M. and Martha Brown sold most of their land to John Coombs for $600.00 located in the NE 1/4 of section 9, T15N, R4W less 40 poles square in the NE corner of the NE 1/4 of section in Monroe Township, Putnam Co., IN (deed record B, page 429). Witness: Rober C. Brown and William Brothers. Francis sold a 40 poles square parcel in the NE corner of the NE 1/4 of section 9, T15N, R4W to Daniel Banks (his nephew and son of William and Elizabeth (Brown) Banks for $40.00 (deed record D, page 257).
     
     
      1832 Francis M. Brown came to Crawford Co., IL to the east side of the village of Robinson (which did not exist at this time) and entered 160 acres of land. He was a native of Virginia, from whence he had gone to Garrard Co., Kentucky, thence to Washington and Putnam Counties, IN, and finally to Crawford Co., IL. Nicholas S. Smith, a family connection of Brown's, had settled here, and it was through the representation of the former that Francis came here. The journey was made in a big schooner wagon drawn by two yoke of oxen. In this was bestowed the household effects, the wife, and so many of the eight children as could not make part of the way on foot. Two cows and a mare and colt completed his whole wordly possession, aside from the entry price of his land. On arriving here, the family found shelter in a deserted cabin built by William Patton, on the site of the old brickyard. Francis's land lay just beyond the limits of the present village, to the northeast, and when the question of erecting a cabin on this property came, there as the proposed site, a pleasent grove situated on a little knoll just east of the village, but Martha, always accustomed to wooded country, feared such an exposed situation, and desired the cabin built on lower ground in the edge of the timber. It was finally left to vote of the children, who, sharing the prejudices of their mother, decided in favor of the low land and timber. 30 November 1832 Francis M. and Martha purchased their first parcel from the District Land office in Palestine, Illinois consisting of 158.27 acres ($1.25 per acre) for $197.83 in being the NE 1/4 of section 34 T7N R12W in Crawford Co., Illinois. The land later became part of the town of robinson located in the northwest part. 1 September 1834 Francis M. Brown receives from the U.S. Government the certificate of ownership for the 158.27 acres that was acquired at the public land sale at Palestine, Illinois on 30 November 1832.

      " Sergeant Joseph Crocker, youngest son of Dea. William Crocker born in 1654, resided at West Barnstable. He inherited the north-easterly part of his father's farm, bounded easterly by the Otis and Hinckley estates. That portion of the ancient Crocker estate on the north of the County road and bounded easterly by the lands of Mr. John Smith was not included in his estate. His house was on the Meeting House road. If the records are correct, not far from the present location of the Cape Cod Railroad Depot. A reservation of three rods in width was made for that road. IN 1703 HE WAS RATED THE HIGHEST AND PROBABLY WAS THE MOST WEALTHY MAN IN BARNSTABLE.
