 History of DeKalb Co., IL, 1885
 William W. Brown, deceasedc, was a pioneer of Sycamore Township in 1838, and
 entered his claim of about 200 acres of land on section 14 of
 Congressional
 township 41, range 5. On this he settled and began the usual pioneer improvements. When the land in the State of Illinois was put into market he
 secured a large acreage in addition, a considerable proportion of which he
 bought for the benefit of his sons. The nearest markets were Chicago,
 Milwaukee and Sheboygan, and Mr. Brown drove an ox team with his wheat crop to
 the former place. One fall he sent a load of dressed beef to Sheboygan.
 He
 imporved quite a considerable portion of his land, and was a resident
 upon his
 homestead until his death.
 He was born on the North or Hudson River in the State of New York in
 1782,
 and grew to mature life on his father's homestead. He was in early
 manhood
 when his parents settled in the township of Rockland in Sullivan county,
 where
 they were pioneers. He was there married to Sally Hall, the first white
 child
 born on Mutton Hill in Sullivan county. He became a land-holder there and
 cleared 104 acres of his farm. He sold the place in 1831 and removed to
 Cortland county, where he lived until 1835, in which year he bought a
 farm in
 LaGrange, Lorain county, Ohio. He sold it in 1838, and set out with his
 family
 and household goods in a wagon with an ox team as a means of locomotion. They
 were on the road four weeks, and during the trip passed but four nights under
 the shelter of a roof. The remainder of the time they camped.
 Mr. Brown died in 1850. His wife survived him 32 years, dying in 1882. Following is the record of their 11 children: Mary is deceased; Sally A.
 and
 Obadiah, the youngest son, live on the homestead; Lucinda is dead; Isaac
 lives
 in O'Brien Co., Iowa; John lives in Lac-qui-parle Co., Minn; Betsey J. and
 Mehitable are deceased; Amy lives in Bourbon Co., Kan.; Deborah resides
 in the
 township of Genoa; Bradley is deceased.
 Obadiah Brown was born Nov. 27, 1834 in Ohio, came to Illinois with his
 parents, and was married in January, 1877, to Lavina Harmes, a native of Grahamville, N.Y. He is a Republican in political faith.
