Letitia Brown was born in Moneydig, Londonderry around 1820. Her parents were possibly Samuel Brown and Letitia Cannon though I have no further info about this family. In the census Letitia shows up as a soldiers daughter.
Any info about the family would be great
Many thanks

Your other thread has Letitia born c1812-
www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,390306.msg2633461.html#msg2633461
Am wondering your sources for information about Letitia Brown as there were quite a few Letitia Browns in Moneydig.
Samuel Brown of Moneydig married Letitia Canning (c1783-1879 Walpelo, Iowa) and had at least 10 children- John (1805), Martha (1807), Alexander (1809), Elizabeth (1812), Robert (1814), Hugh (c1818), Letitia (1820), Robert (1822), Samuel (1822), Thomas (1825).

Hi
I found the info Family Search. I appreciate you can't base the evidence on just this one entry so was looking for more help to try and pin this down one way or another. I'm hoping to secure the marriage cert of Thomas Eyre which hopefully will tell me their father's names. Again, any help will be appreciated
Best wishes

IGI record of the marriage of Thomas Eyre and Letitia Brown (1836) doesn't list her birthplace, birthdate or parents' names so how are you trying to make a connection?
-
Hi
I made the (assumption) on info I thought I had found on familysearch with reference to her marriage to Thomas which then led into her parents details. After your message, I went loking for it and I can only think I was dreaming as I cannot find it. The details I found did not list any children only that of her parents. So I shall carry on looking because it is there somewhere.

IGI has the marriage of Thomas Eyre and Letitia Brown (1836).
Separate entry for a Letitia Brown, born 182, daughter of Samuel and Letitia (Canning) Brown.
Could it be that you found the marriage in IGI and then the separate Letitia Brown entry and thought it was all one record?
-
Very possible and at the moment the only explanation, though I 'm not usually that clumsy using caution until I'm sure and have firm evidence. Maybe this time I haven't been so cautious, I must remove them from my tree until I can verify the information.

Let us know when you do get a copy of Letitia's marrage certificate- wth her father's name and occupation might be able to sort out her family.

I will and thanks

I am interested in the Browns of the Garvagh/ Moneydig area. My great great great grandfather was Robert Brown of Bovagh. It would be nice to be able to link this Robert Brown into a possibly related family of Browns of Trinaltinagh, who are in the 1796 Garvagh congregation visitation list. The parents were Samuel and I assume Elizabeth, the sixth son was John, who became the respected and longserving minister of Aghagowey. Another son was William who was a lieutenant in the militia. This link with the military may be significant, given your possible military link, which wouldn't have been that common in farming families. I've been given a few details of descendants of the Trinaltinagh Browns; one of them was I believe a naval doctor, so again a military slant

I am also a Descendant (4th gr granddaughter) of Robert Brown/Jane Henery of Bovagh, through their daughter Martha Brown who married Thomas Hogg and immigrated to the US in 1848. Any information you would be willing to share would be appreciated greatly. They were married 14 Sept 1832 per The Belfast Newsletter Publication Date: 2 Oct 1832 -Cheryl

Hello to Aghadowey and Jerseyties, glad to meet more distant relatives! Thanks Aghadowey for typing all of that out; sorry I didn't see the original query or I could have done some of the reply. I will check what I have on the family; probably not much more than Aghadowey but I have forgotten what I have, it's been several years since I looked at them
Where did they go to? I know of a an earlier Hogg from Caheny who married another of my relatives and went to South Carolina
-
Thomas Hogg and Martha (Brown) Hogg and family arrived 5 July 1848 aboard the ship "Speed"
and settled in New York City, New York. The family name is at some point changed to the spelling Hoag.

Hi
Sorry I now know there is no connection to the Brown's. I have found out that my Letitia Brown is actually Letitia Kent. She had originally married a William Brown who died shortly after their marriage. I didn't find this out until I eventually found she was married a third time and I was able to send for the marriage certificate which recorded a William Kent as her father who I think was in Ireland at that time and why Letitia's place of birth was recorded as Ireland

Correction to previous details I posted-
Samuel Brown of Moneydig married Letitia Canning (c1783-1879 Walpelo, Iowa) and had at least 10 children- John (1805), Martha (1807), Alexander (1809), Elizabeth (1812), Robert (1814), Hugh (c1818), Letitia (1820), Robert (1822), Samuel (1822), Thomas (1825).
Letitia didn't die in Iowa (as relatived did tell me) but in Movanagher (where her daughter was teacher for the Female School for over 30 years).
