Mary Brown was born near Hainesburg, New Jersey, one of five children of John Brown and Mary Magdaline (Brugler) Brown. After her mother's death, her father John remarried to Mrs. Margaret Haines and the family moved to Columbia County, Pennsylvania. This is where she met and married Joseph Otto in 1802. Their first children were born there.
After that, the family relocated to the area of Angelica, Allegany County, New York, where they were enumerated in the 1810 federal census. Joseph and his brothers, George and Matthias then scouted out land in McKean County, Pennsylvania, and determined to settle there. The account below mentions their early settlement:
"In the year 1810 six families from the state of New York, following up the Allegheny from Olean to the mouth of Potato creek, and up that stream some five or six miles, located themselves in the neighborhood now known as Farmer’s Valley. Among them were three brothers, named Joseph, George, and Matthias Otto, whose descendants still reside in that neighborhood. George and Matthias both died many years ago. Joseph lived to be very old, and was one of the prominent men of the county. He held at different terms most of the county offices."
