Notes
a. Note:   Unmarked grave In 1799 Barbara SMITH FURR, widow of Tobias, married Jeremiah BROWN, a brother to Peter, Michael and Moses BROWN, and on August 10 that year he was made guardian to Mary, Elizabeth and Louisa FURRER, daughters of Tobias and Barbara Furr. Jeremiah Brown is buried in an unmarked grave in St. John's Cemetery in Salisbury, North Carolina. His wife, Barbara SMITH FURRER BROWN is also buried there.
  From Rumple's History of Rowan County, page 227.
 "THE OLD STONE HOUSE" "About three miles southeast of Salisbury and near the old "Trading Path" stands a remarkable relic of the early settlement of Rowan. It is known far and wide as the "Old Stone House". A smooth stone tablet over the door tells the visitor that Michael Braun erected the house in 1766.
  Two hundred yards from the house is the family cemetery. The stone over the graves of Macreda Braun, who died July 30, 1771, aged 37, states in German that she was the wife of Michael Braun and the mother of nine "Kinder".
  The youngest son of Michael Braun of the "Old Stone House" was Jeremiah. He married the widow of Tobias Furrer. Mrs. Furrer was the mother of three children by her first marriage - Mary Furrer, who married John Murphy; Elizabeth Furrer who married Samuel Lemly; and Louise Furrer who married William Henry Horah, all of Salisbury. By her second marriage with Jeremiah Brown she had also three children - Margaret Brown who married Thomas Dickson; Delia Brown who married John Coughenour; and the late Col. Jeremiah M. Brown, whose widow and children still live in Salisbury."
  Note: The "Old Stone House" is shown in both "Early Architecture of North Carolina" and in "Old Homes and Gardens." Restoration by four descendants was started in 1949 and in 1956, it stands beautiful within and without.
b. Note:   Birth also shown as 14 Oct 1769.
