Private HARVEY S. BROWN, Co. B & Co. C, 86th Illinois

        Harvey S. Brown was born on July 4, 1838 in Pittstown or Troy in Rensselaer County, New York, the son of Royal H. Brown and Alida (Potter) Brown.   Royal was born on September 8, 1813 to John Brown and Polly (Spaulding) Brown.  John Brown was born in Heath, Massachusetts on July 18, 1771 to John Brown and Lucy (Rugg) Brown. John and Polly (Spaulding) Brown had 4 children. John passed away on March 3, 1833 in Raymertown, New York and his earthly remains were laid in the Hillside Cemetery in Pittstown, Rensselaer County, New York.
Royal H. Brown was married to Alida Potter on __________ __, 183__ at __________, New York. Alida was born on March 2, 1815 in __________, New York, the daughter of __________ Potter and __________ (__________) Potter.
        At the time of the 1850 census, the Brown family is found in Watson Township of Lewis County, New York;
Royal H Brown M 37 New York;  Olida Brown F 36 New York;  John Brown M 13 New York;  Harvey Brown M 12 New York;  William Brown M 10 New York;  Sidney Brown M 2 New York;  Orson Eldria M 32 New York;
        About 1856, at the age of 18, Harvey S. Brown apparently struck out on his own moving west to Wisconsin, where he settled in Albion, Wisconsin. There he attended the Academy. He remained there for two years. In 1858 he moved to Illinois where he settled in Peoria County near West Hallock, Illinois.  In the 1860 census of Peoria County, Harvey Brown cannot be definitively located. There is a Henry Brown, age 21, born in New York, working as a farmhand on the farm of Bartholomew and Cornelia Noyes in Elmwood Township in Peoria County, but, this is as close to the correct information that I can find.
        At the time of the 1860 census, the rest of the Brown family are still found in Watson, Lewis County, New York;
Royal H Brown 46 New York;  Alida Brown 45 New York;  Sidney S Brown 12 New York;  Clark L Brown 8 New York
        In the early 1860's, the Brown family came west to Illinois to join Harvey here in Peoria County. They, too, settled in the West Hallock area of Peoria County. Royal H. Brown died on Oct. 23, 1862 and his mortal remains were laid in the West Hallock Cemetery in Peoria County.
        At the time of the 1870 census, Aleda is found residing with her son, Harvey S. Brown, and his family in Akron Township of Peoria County, Illinois;
Harvey S Brown M 32y Farmer 5,000 700 New York;  Rosa A Brown F 26y New York;  Ella Brown F 3m Illinois;  Aleda Brown F 55y New York;  William Potter M 13y New York;
        At the time of the 1880 census, Aleda Brown is found residing with Lucretia Green in Hallock Township in Peoria County, Illinois. Aleda is listed as Widowed and is working as a House Keeper. Her father is listed as having been born in Rhode Island, while her mother is listed as having been born in Connecticut;
Self Lucretia Green F 88 New York;  Other Alida Brown F 65 New York
        Alida died on Mar. 10, 1891, and her mortal remains were also laid in the West Hallock Cemetery.

Now to continue with the biography of Harvey S. Brown.

        On August 13, 1862, Harvey S. Brown went to Marshall County, probably Henry, Illinois where he volunteered to serve in a company which was being raised in the Henry, Illinois area of Marshall County, by a man by the name of Elias C. Brearley for service in the Union army. At the time he volunteered he listed Akron Township of Peoria County as his place of residence.

        When Brearley had about 100 volunteers, he led the Marshall County company into Peoria where they went into camp at Camp Lyon, near present day Glen Oak Park.  On August 27, 1862, Brearley and 88 of his volunteers, including now Private Harvey S. Brown, were mustered into service as Co. B of the 86th Regiment of Illinois Volunteer Infantry.  Brearley was elected Captain of Co. B.
        On September 7, 1862, the men of the 86th Illinois marched out the gates of Camp Lyon, through the streets of Peoria, with much fanfare, down to the railroad depot. There they were joined by the men of the 85th Illinois, who had been mustered into service at Camp Peoria. There at the depot, the men of the 85th & 86th Illinois boarded trains bound for Camp Joe Holt in Jeffersonville, Indiana, which was located across the Ohio River from Louisville, Kentucky.
        The trains carrying the men of the 85th and 86th arrived at Jeffersonville, Indiana on the morning of September 9th, and the men of the regiments began to drill almost immediately.  On September 10th, Privates Harvey S. Brown, Ansel Crouch and ____  ____ were transferred from Co. B of the 86th to Co. C of the 86th, most likely at their request, because Co. C was full of men recruited from the Chillicothe area, including Medina Township and ____ Township.  Company C was commanded by Captain Joseph F. Thomas, who before the war was a Physician in the Chillicothe, Illinois area.

        By early October, the men of the 85th & 86th were in the field in Kentucky as part of Col. Daniel McCook's Brigade, in pursuit of Confederate troops.  On Oct. 8, 1862, the men of McCook's Brigade were engaged with those troops in the Battle of Perryville, Kentucky, the 86th Illinois suffering their first casualties.  There would be many more to come.   After the Battle of Perryville, the Confederate troops withdrew from Kentucky and the men of McCook's Brigade marched on to Nashville, Tennessee where they would go into winter camp.
        The men of McCook's Brigade would spend the winter of 1862/63 in Nashville and remain based there through the spring and early summer of 1863.  The life for these new troops was difficult as the living conditions, life style and diet were not conducive to good health.  Today, the Nashville National Cemetery is the final resting place of hundreds of union soldiers who died during that first winter in Nashville.
        In the late summer of 1863, the men of McCook's Brigade participated the early movements of what would become known as the Campaign for Chattanooga, Tennessee. On September 19-20, 1863, the men of McCook's participated in the Battle of Chickamauga, Georgia, a union defeat.   It is not known if Private Harvey S. Brown was with his company during this battle, as just over a month later on October 29, 1863, Private Harvey S. Brown was transferred to the Veteran Reserve Corps (V.R.C.).
        The Veteran Reserve Corps, which was originally called the "Invalid Corps", was a military reserve organization created within the Union Army during the Civil War to allow partially disabled or otherwise infirmed soldiers to perform light duty, freeing able-bodied soldiers to serve on the front lines. Why Private Harvey S. Brown was transferred to the VRC is not known.  He is not listed among the wounded from Chickamauga.  Perhaps he was sick back in Nashville at the time of the battle, or perhaps he was injured in some way during the campaign for Chickamauga or during the battle itself.  Whatever the reason for his transfer, Private Harvey S. Brown would spend at least part of the remainder of the war in the VRC.    How long Private Harvey S. Brown remained in the VRC is not known, either.   Perhaps he served out the remainder of the war in the VRC.  It just is not known at this time. What is known is that Private Harvey S. Brown survived the war and was back in Peoria County by the fall of 1864.
        Harvey S. Brown was married to Rosey A. Potter on November 19, 1865, in Peoria County, Illinois.  Rosaline A. "Rosey" Potter was born on April 14, 1844, in Berlin, Rensselaer County, New York, the daughter of Riley Potter and Phebe (Green) Potter.   Three children were born to Harvey S. Brown and Rosaline A. (Potter) Brown:
        1. Ella G. Brown, born April/May __, 1870 in Peoria County, Illinois. Ella was married c. 1890/91 to Alfred S. Burdick.   At the time of the 1900 census, Alfred and Ella are found in Hinesdale Township, Hinesdale vill., DuPage County, Illinois. They have been married 9 years and have not had any children. They are believed never to have had any children;  A S Burdick Head M Feb 1867 33 New York;  Ella Burdick Wife F Apr 1870 30 Illinois
        Alfred S. Burdich/Burdick died on February 11, 1933 in Highland Park, Lake County, Illinois. He was born on 15 Feb 1867 in De Ruyter, New York, the son of Stephen Burdich, who was born in Preston, New York, and Susan Maxson, who was born in Alfred, New York. Alfred had been employed with Pres.-Abbott Labratories. Alfred's mortal remains were laid in the Rosehill Cemetery in Chicago, Cook County, Illinois on February 15, 1933.    Nothing more is known for certain about Ella G. (Brown) Burdick. There is a Ella B Burdick, who was born in 1870 in Illinois living in St. Petersburg, Pinellas County, Florida in the 1945 Florida state census. She is 75 years of age. Could this be she?
        2.  Etta Alida Brown, born May 2, 1874 in Peoria County, Illinois. Etta died on March 4, 1880 in Peoria County and her mortal remains were laid in the West Hallock Cemetery in Peoria County, Illinois. See her Find A Grave Memorial# 25490984.
        3. Riley Potter Brown, born February 10, 1879 in Peoria County, Illinois. Riley was married on July 17, 1902 to Sarah Charlotte "Lottie" McWilliam. Sarah was born on July 18, 1880 in Grand Junction in Greene County, Iowa. Sarah died on June 20, 1926 in Boy River, Cass County, Minnesota.  Two daughters were born to Riley and Sarah, one dying in infancy:  A. Ora L. Brown, born c. 1902/03 in Illinois;  B. Ella Brown, born and died in 1906.;
        At the time of the 1905 Wisconsin state census Riley and his family are found in Prentice, Price County, Wisconsin;  Riley P Brown Head M 26y Illinois;  Sarah C Brown Wife F 25y Iowa;  Ora L Brown Daughter F 2y Illinois
The mortal remains of Sarah Charlotte (McWilliam) Brown were laid in the Milton Cemetery in Milton, Rock County, Wi
        At the time of the 1930 census, Riley is found in Boy Lake, Cass County, Minnesota:  Riley P Brown Head M 51 Illinois;  Gertrude Brown Wife F 46 Michigan
        Riley Potter Brown died on January 19, 1965 in Cass County, Minnesota. His mortal remains were cremated at the Lakewood Cemetery in Minneapolis, Hennepin County, Minnesota, but CREMAINS WERE RETURNED, so they were not buried Lakewood. See his Find A Grave Memorial# 35507344.
        4. Mary Ethel Brown, born October 1, 1880 in Peoria County, Illinois. Mary Ethel Brown never married. Mary Ethel Brown died on October 12, 1932 and her mortal remains were laid in the West Hallock Cemetery in Peoria County, Illinois. See her Find A Grave Memorial# 25490973.
        At the time of the 1870 census, Harvey and his family are found in Akron Township in Peoria County, Illinois:  Brown Harvey S. 32 M Farmer 5,000 700 New York;  Brown Rosa A. 26 F New York;  Brown Ella 3/12 F Illinois; May Brown Aleda 55 F New York;  Potter William 13 M New York;
        At the time of the 1880 census, Harvey Brown and his family are found in Hallock Township, Peoria County, Illinois. He is married and is listed as a Dealer In Horses. Both of his parents are listed as having been born in New York:  self Harvey Brown M 40 New York;  wife Rosa A. Brown F 36 New York;  daughter Ella G. Brown F 10 Illinois; son Riley Brown M 1 Illinois;  other Nancy Marwood F 19 New York;
        In 1887, some of the surviving members of the 86th Illinois organized and held a reunion of the old 86th during the week of August 27th, the 25th anniversary of the mustering in of the men of the 86th. Harvey did not attend this 1st reunion, though more than 110 surviving members of the 86th did. The reunion was such a success that they continued to he held every August through 1923, when the few who were able to attend that reunion tearfully decided that they were too few and too old to continue to hold them.  Through the years, Harvey was able to attend the 1890, 1892, 1900 and 1901 reunions.
        In 1893, Harvey and Rosa moved the family to Wisconsin, where they settled in Milton, Wisconsin.
        In 1898 they moved to Whitewater, Wisconsin, where they remained until Harvey's death.
        At the time of the 1900 census, Harvey and Rosa are found in Ward 3 of Whitewater City, Walworth County, Wisconsin:  Harvey is listed as having been born in July of 1838 in New York. His parents are both listed as having been born in New York.   He and Rosa are listed as having been married 34 years:  Head Harvey S Brown M 62 New York;  Wife Rosa Brown F 56 New York;  Son Riley P Brown M 21 Illinois;  Daughter Mary E Brown F 20 Illinois.
        Harvey S. Brown died on May 8, 1902 at __, Wisconsin. The following obituary was found in the "The Sabbath Recorder", Vol 58, No 21, p. 334 that was published on May 26, 1902:

"Harvey S. Brown was born at Pittstown, Rensselaer Co., N. Y., July 4, 1838, and died May 8, 1902. He was the son of Royal H. and Alida Potter Brown. When about eighteen years of age he came West, going to Albion, Wis., where he entered the Academy. In 1858 he moved to West Hallock, Ill. This continued to be his home until 1893 when he went with his family to Milton, Wis. In 1898 they moved to Whitewater, Wis., where the family resided at the time of his death. In 1862 he enlisted in the 86th Illinois Infantry and remained in the army for about two years. He married Rosaline A. Potter, daughter of Riley and Phebe Green Potter, Nov. 19, 1865. They had four children, three of whom, with the widow, survive him: Mrs. Alfred S. Burdick, Riley P. Brown of Chicago, and Miss Ethel Brown of Whitewater.  Mr. Brown was not a member of any church, but was a regular attendant at the service of the Seventh-day Baptist church when it was possible for him to be present.     A. S. B."

Harvey S. Brown's mortal remains were returned to Illinois where they were laid in the West Hallock Cemetery in Peoria County, Illinois.

        Rosaline A. (Potter) Brown died on February 5, 1939 in Ravina, Illinois. "The Sabbath Recorder", Vol 126, No 13, p 220, Mar. 27, 1939 had the following obituary;

"Rosaline Potter, wife of the late Harvey S. Brown, was born in Berlin, N. Y., April 14, 1844, and died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Alfred S. Burdick, Ravina, Ill., February 5, 1939. Though confined to her room for the past eight years, she retained all her alert mental faculties, interest in people and events, together with her charming sense of humor.
While young she became a member of the Seventh Day Baptist Church at Berlin, and later at West Hallock, Ill., remaining loyal and faithful to that fellowship until her death. Her daughter Ella, Mrs. Alfred S. Burdick, survives, and one son, Riley P. Brown, of Boy River, Minn. Two daughters preceded her - Alida in 1880, and Mary Ethel in 1932.  Mrs. Brown was tenderly cared for by her daughter and was laid to rest in the West Hallock cemetery.    H. C. V. H."

 The Journal-Telephone, Milton Junction, Wisconsin, Thursday, June 24, 1926, p 1:
        Sarah Charlotte McWilliam, familiarly known as 'Lottie,' was a daughter of D. P. McWilliam of Milton, Wis.  When she was born, July 18, 1880, the family lived at Grand Junction, Iowa.  They continued to live there until Lottie was 20 years of age and had become a member of the Seventh Day Baptist church at that place.  In the year 1901, the family moved to Milton.
        She was married to Riley Brown July 17, 1902.  Mr. and Mrs. Brown lived for two years in Chicago, seven years in northern Wisconsin, and for the last fifteen years they had lived at Boy River, Minn., where Mrs. Brown died June 20, 1926. The body was brought to Milton where the funeral service was conducted at the home of her parents by Pastor James L. Skaggs on Wednesday afternoon, June 23, and burial was made in the Milton cemetery.
        Two daughters were born to Mr. and Mrs. Brown.  One died in infancy.   The other, Ora. L., was present with her father at the funeral.
        Mrs. Brown was one of a family of ten children, and she is survived by eight: three brothers and five sisters.  Two of the brothers, Ervin and Darwin, and a sister, Clara, live near Milton.  The other brother, Arthur, is at Tillamook, Ore.  The other sisters are Belva, of Boy River, Minn.; Bertha, of Plainfield, N.

[Mike Brown Note: Elizabeth's maiden name is Truelove, sometimes spelled Trulove.  I believe they may have met in AZ as there is a Sidney Brown operating a saloon with his oldest brother John in the 1880 census, although Sidney's age doesn't match.  Elizabeth may have been there visiting family, an aunt named Louise Davis, that she grew up with in CA after her parents died.  Elizabeth's father, William, was a prospector who died in 1869.  I don't know what year Sarah died.  I can't locate her in the 1870 census, which by then her children are living in CA with their grandfather, Joel Davis, Sarah's father. 

Concerning Sidney S. Brown, I have not been able to locate him in the 1870 census.  It would be interesting to see if the 22 year old was still in NY or had started his way west by that time.  My info on Sidney in the 1880 census is speculative and unconfirmed, but it is the best lead I have at this time.  I am also stumped on the next generation beyond his parents, Royal H. Brown and Alida Potter. Royal named his first born John, Sidney's oldest brother.   I found the names John Brown and Polly Spaulding in NY, who had a son named Royal H. and who was born in the correct year, but I have been unable to find enough information to confirm it's our Royal.]
