I have Laura's death certificate whihc names her father as John Walklet Brown but am unable to confirm that Frederick and Lorenzo were also his children. Any help or information ould be appreciated

I am trying to find out if W John Brown (buried in Parowan) and John Walklet Brown (possibly my great, great grandfather) were the same man. I know that John Walklet brown had a daughter Laura born 1856 who died in 1871 in Wales. John Walklet Brown is named on the death certificate as her father but I cannot find definite evidence that this man was the father of Lorenzo Snow Brown born 1852 (my great grandfather) or of Frederick Brown born 1849 died 1871. Any help or info would be appreciated

Re: john walklet and ann brown
John W. Brown, a lawyer, and his second wife, Elizabeth Couzens Lowe Brown moved to Parowan from Toquerville, Kane (now Washington) County in 1868 following the death of his wife Ann Liggenstorfer in 1865 and son Samuel Richard Brown in 1866. Information from the New Family Search and a history by Ila Bauer. John died in Parowan, Iron, County in 1896.

Re: john walklet and ann brown
Thamk you for taking the time to reply to my message. I will folow up the informaton you have supplied. Unfortunately I do not seem to be able to find out what appened to John W Brown before he turns up in Utah. I have a death certificate for Laura Brown (in Wales, 1871) which names John walklet brown as her father but the questions remains as to whether he is the same John W(alklet)Brown who (with his wife also called Ann and children frederick, orenzo Snow and Laura) all dissappear from all Wales censuses after 1851. Laura and Frederick both died in Wales in 1871 and Lorenzo Snow first appears in 1881 as a married man. It would fit with John Walklet Brown being their father and going to Utah in the late 1850's hence no more Wales census appearances. Also the child born in 1852 being named Lorenzo Snow suggests a connection with Latter Day Saints. However I still can't prove it! Thanks again for information

Re: john walklet and ann brown
I have some information on a John Walklet Brown being in Toquerville, Utah. William hammond rented a lot and farm from John Walklet Brown who moved to Parowan in 1868. John was a lawyer but people had very little money to pay and farming had proven a hard way to make a living. One of John’s stepsons George A. Lowe’s “favorite stories was telling of the starvation days in Toquerville during the years 1864 to 1868, when they lived on chubs from the Virgin River and Lucerne greens for so long that his mother grew tired of cooking them so (she) staked the kids out. If any one questioned this statement, George pulled up his trousers and showed them the scars on his ankles. “One day an old man, John Dalton, happened to listen in on this story. He looked at the scars—then at George. ‘George,’ he said, ‘you know you are telling a darned lie.’ George confessed that the scars were made when he used to wade out into Little Salt Lake (Parowan) and gather salt to use and to sell.”
Don't know if this is information on your John Walklet Brown. I hope it helps.
