1990, I assisted my sister Cherie, in researching our family history.
We discovered we were decendant's of D.A. Brown, a prominant citizen
and business owner in Toledo's East side. Daniel Ammi Brown, son of
Ammi and Sara (Miltimore) Brown came to the Toledo area during the mid
1850's. Daniel was born in Vermont and married to Amelia Fisher. The
couple had six children with five surviving into adulthood. D.A. and
Amelia's only son, Daniel Anson Brown married Gertrude Gessner of Fremont
in 1898. The young couple lived together in the mansion with their three
young children for a short time during the early 1900's. Their children
were Corolen born in 1900, Betsey Belle born in 1904, and Gessner A.
Brown born in 1908. My Great Aunt Betsey told of playing in the hayloft
of the mansions carriage house with her young brother Gessner. Gessner,
my grandfather, married Dorothy Herman and had seven children together.
Their second daughter Jacqueline, is my mother.
