Converse Amanda^[1]

1780 - 1852  (71 years)

• Name	Converse Amanda
  Birth	26 Aug 1780	Stafford, Tooland County, CT   [1]
  Gender	Female
  Death	1852	Freedom/Elton, Cattaraugus County, NY   [1]
  Burial	Elton Cemetery, Elton, Cattaraugus Co., NY   [1]
  Notes	Reuben and Amanda Brown were in VT in 1802 when Nathaniel was born in Strafford VT. They married in 1801; he was born abt. 1778 and she in 1780.Amanda is in all the Converse genealogies: parents are Jesse and Mary (Moulton) Converse of Stafford, Tolland CTReuben and Amanda moved to Elton, Town of Freedom Cattaraugus Co NY betw. 1818 and 1825; one son was born in VT in 1818 and Daniel ( last and 8th child, my husband's line) was born NY in May 1825. Nathaniel is also in the 1825 census and on in Elton/Freedom. Amanda and Reuben are buried in Elton Cemetery. So is Daniel and his wife Jerusha and children who died young. Nathaniel is buried Elton . I know David Edwin is in some Freedom censuses. Seymore laverne Brown ( known as Vern) is probably the Vern Brown buried Siloam; I cannot be sure.Edith Brown Newland was friends with my husband's grandmother; she and clyde probably lived in Freedom, Franklinville, Farmersville. I believe they are buried Siloam, as are my husband's g-grandparents and grandmother. Martha (Martie) Marble was alive last we knew and never talked to anyone. She lived in Freedom. We used to leave her notes on the crosses she put on Nathaniel's grave at holidays; we would leave notes in plastic bags giving her the lineage off Daniel and got no answers until one e-mail from her granddaughter Angel. I answered her and never got a response. Lois has actually talked genealogy with Martha... the lady is very old and suspicious. We cannot get her to talk to us and Arlie has been at this since the 1970s. Lois knows more on the Nathaniel line than I ever will. Look in Elton, Freedom, Farmersville, Franklinville,Yorkshire, Sandusky, Machias, and Delevan censuses. I know the Elton/Freedom lines. The others are family who stayed around. You can also try Arcade. All are Cattaraugus Co. Maybe Arcade is Erie.I have Reuben & Amanda from 1825 ((NY) and on every US census to 1840 together and her to 1850 ( she dies 1852). Daniel is on until 1880 and Jerusha has a will in 1896.I don't have dates in my head for Nathaniel, but he buys land the same time as his father ( look in the Holland Land Co. records) and they build homes and then the family came. nathaniel stayed on the same farm until he died, to my knowledge. I will look on a census in Ancestry and send it to you. --J. Schwan
