My paternal great grandmother is Mary Catherine Brown. She was born at Schuylkill Haven County, Pennsylvania 31 March 1848 and died 27 May 1919 (place yet unknown). She married Russell Miller Dewey 22 October 1868 in Black Hawk County, Iowa.
The question is, who is HER mother? Her father is Levi Brown (parents unknown). Levi was born 08 March 1823 in Pennsylvania and died 27 Jan 1899 at Black Hawk County, Iowa. HER MOTHER was born about 1825 in Pennsylvania according to census records. An 1880 census also states both her parents were born in Pennsylvania. I know she is a Catherine is a Poffenberger as one of Mary Catherine's sibling'd death record indicates that is his mother's maiden name.
Can anyone help with this mystery? The Book from Germany to Antietam is of no help to me.
Thanks,
Michelle
