In 1895, Cyrus Henry Brown began collecting family records of the Brown family, initially with the intention of only going back to his great-grandfathers. As others became interested in the project, they decided to trace the family lineage back to Thomas Brown and his wife Mary Newhall, both born in the early 1600s in Lynn, Massachusetts. Thomas, John, and Eleazer, three of their sons, later moved to Stonington, Connecticut around 1688. When North Stonington was established in 1807, the three brothers were living in the southern part of the town. Wheeler’s “History of Stonington” contains 400 records of early descendants of the Brown family, taken from the town records of Stonington. However, many others remain unidentified, as they are not recorded in the Stonington town records. For around a century, the descendants of the three brothers lived in Stonington before eventually migrating to other towns in Connecticut and New York State, which was then mostly undeveloped. He would eventually write this second volume of his Brown Genealogy adding to and correcting the previous edition. This book is free to search, read, and/or download.

William T. Stephens applied for Choctaw citizenship by intermarriage in 1896, citing an 1887 decision by U.S. Indian Agent Robert L. Owen, which was affirmed by the Secretary of the Interior. He was enrolled by the Dawes Commission under the Act of June 10, 1896, but the Choctaw Nation appealed. A U.S. court upheld his enrollment in 1897, but the Citizenship Court later ruled against him in 1904, despite lacking jurisdiction. Stephens died in 1903, and his heirs sought to secure his rightful place on the final rolls. His first marriage to Catherine Wall in 1858 had originally granted him Choctaw citizenship.
