Asahel Brown born in Canada in 1827 or 1828
I am frustrated in my search for information on my great-great grandfather Asahel Brown who, according to the US Censuses, was born in Canada in 1827 or 1828.
He lists his parents as having been born in Connecticut, so his parents may have been US immigrants to Canada, either forever or just for a while. Asahel Brown entered the United States from Canada in 1845.
It's possible that he went to Lowell, Massachusetts in the 1840s before relocating to Wisconsin. In Lowell, there is a record of Asahel Brown marrying Lucinda Alger. The record gives Asahel's parents as Samuel and Polly. It gives Lucinda's parents as Nathaniel and Mary.
Asahel later married, in Wisconsin, a woman from Maine named Lucetta Elizabeth Harman. Upon her death, he married in Wisconsin Johanna Greyerson, who was born in Norway.
Given the information that I have, I am inclined to think that his parents (or at least his father) may have sought his fortune in New Brunswick (possibly Quebec) during the early part of the 19th Century. I'm at a dead-end and any insight that anyone has regarding Asahel would be greatly appreciated!
