Note: HI73
Note: (Research):In the 1875 census of Irving, Kandiyohi, John is living next door to a Laurie Rand, age 26, who is living with J.B. Rand, age 64 or 84. Could this be his wife? J.B. could be her father, as a J.B. Rand was on John's probate records. John also has a 9 year-old female, Lily living with him. Who is this? The Stearns County, Minnesota death records (FHL Film #1309459 item #9) show an unnamed Brown who died 28 Oct 1871. Parents were J.W. and Mary Brown. This could possibly be John and Laura's child.
