* 1. unkel Henry Brown is William Henry Harrison Brown, brother to Juliette, Charles's first wife.
2. Juliaette is Charles'granddaughter by William Henry Harrison Loghry and Elizabeth Williams.

Charles married Brown Juliette Eunice on 14 Aug 1831 in Cameron, Steuben Co., NY. Juliette (daughter of Brown Samuel Right (Wright) and Annable Eunice Mary) was born about 1812 in Saratoga, Saratoga County or Albany, Albany Co., NY; died before 25 May 1840 in Cameron, Steuben Co., NY; was buried in Brown's Crossing, Steuben, Steuben County, NY. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Juliette was the only daughter of Samuel and Eunice (Annable) Brown. On Aug. 14, 1831 she married Charles Loghry, son of Joseph Leander Loghry and Mary (Santee) Loughry of Cameron, Stueben County, NY. Her brother, Robert Emmett Brown and Charles' sister, Mary Loghry were married at the same time in a double wedding. After her marriage, she and Charles settled near the Oregon schoolhouse on the road to Brown's Crossing where John Hedges had formerly resided.

Brown's Crossing is at the foot of the Oregon schoolhouse road, down from North Hill Road where a large steel bridge crosses the Canisteo River. Juliette's brother, Robert Brown had a tavern near the river crossing and a farm directly across the river as well.

Julitette died shortly after the birth of her son, Franklin. She is buried at Brown's Crossing at the bottom of the hill on Oregon Schoolhouse Road and the Canisteo River.

The cemetery near the bridge at Brown's Crossing is the burying ground for some familiy members of the Santee, Moore, Loghry and Brown relatives. At one time there were as many as thirty five people buried at Brown's Crossing but today only one stone, that of Isaac Santee remains intact. Years ago when the river flooded, many of the bodies were washed from their resting places and their markers taken by the rushing river water.

Juliette's birth records have not been found. Her family was in Albany, Albany County, NY from April 1812 and moved to Auburn, Cayuga County in 1813. They continued to live in Auburn until the death of her father in Sept. of 1817.
