The Luzerne Union, Wed, Apr 11, 1877:
"From Dallas: Mrs. SARAH ORR, and ANNA FULLER, living in Lehman, near the line of this township, are the two oldest women hereabouts, being respectively over ninety years of age."
From The Descendants of James Brown 1716-1922 by John Jordan Brown:
"DANIEL BROWN, son of James and Sarah Allison Brown. In the will of James Brown, he decreed that his son Daniel should live with his mother until he was of full age, unless his executors should decide that he should learn a trade. The result was that Daniel learned the trade of milling. This trade was the cause of his tragic death. An accident in the mill, whether caused by the machinery or otherwise, is not known, resulted in his untimely death. He was born on May 3, 1763. Daniel married Rachel Brands. Rachel was a sister of David Brands. The latter was the great grandfather of Mary Brands, who married Dr. J. J. Brown of Bloomsburg, Pa. The children of Daniel and Rachel Brands Brown are:
Sarah, of whom there is no information. ***
John, the father of Mrs. Jacob Yohe.
David, the father of Jacob Brown.
Dorothy, who married Peter Snyder. Went to Michigan.
Jacob,
James, Carlisle Brown's father. He died April 26,1875."
***This is undoubtedly John Orr's wife, Sarah Brown. They left Knowlton Township, Warren County, New Jersey, in the early 1800s and settled in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania. This might explain why there was no information about her in the Descendants of James Brown family history. Also, John and Sarah's first two children were named Daniel and Rachel, probably named after their maternal grandparents.
