Notes

At that time in history the German ruler gave each family a job to do. Henry's father was to supply fire wood for the area in which they lived. This could be a possible clue to the origin of the "WALLBROWN" name. In Germany, some names were derived from their professions. In German, woods or forest is spelled "WALD". In the 1870 census of Butler County, Pennsylvania, " WALLBROWN" is spelled "WALDBROWN".
