Peter Chardon Brooks, of Boston, was the owner of the land now known as Bloomfield. He sold it to Ephraim Brown of West Moreland, New Hampshire, and Thomas Howe of Williamstown, Vermont, in 1814. Brown and Howe were nephew and uncle. They had been in business together. Eventually, Howe sold out to Brown, reserving one thousand acres in the southern part of the township for himself.
...
An old story worth repeating is that of the dog, Argus, who accompanied the early settlers in 1815. The dog either became tired, dissatisfied or was stolen in New York state. When Mr. Howe was going through that place some months later, he saw the dog and claimed it. The landlord said he had raised him from a pup. Whereupon Mr. Howe ordered Argus into his cutter, told him to watch it, and then dared the landlord to take anything from the cutter. The dog stood guard and did not allow the landlord to come near him, and proceeded with his master.
...
Thomas Howe did not move his family to Bloomfield until 1817, his wife and five children coming with him. She was a woman of very benevolent nature. He was a member of the (p.416) Ohio legislature and he lived to be more than eighty. His children were identified more or less with Bloomfield, Dr. G.W. being one of the early teachers and later a doctor for forty-four years. He was surgeon for three years in the war of the Rebellion and his services were especially commended. He was twice elected to the Ohio legislature. William Howe did not spend much of his early life in Bloomfield. He was engaged in business in Pittsburg and the ore districts of Lake Superior. He was a clerk in the provost office in Warren during the rebellion. He married Melvina Flowers and had nine children.
...
When Ephraim Brown and Thomas Howe decided to come into New Connecticut, they expected to take up land near Cleveland, but the Cuyahoga River and the lakeshore seemed so dreary that they decided on Bloomfield. The family came in a chaise to Buffalo, then to Grand River in boats and by horseback to North Bloomfield.

Ephraim Brown. The life of Ephraim Brown is of interest to Cleveland people for several reasons. He was never a resident of the city, though he was one of the pioneer founders and owners of the great Ohio Western Reserve, and during the first half century of its development he was not only a big factor in its material life and business affairs, but exemplified in a remarkable degree that idealism, love of liberty, and harmony between the conscience and will which have been among the finest products and contributions of Northern Ohio to the American nation. His sketch should also be read as a means of better interpreting the forces and character possessed and exemplified by his son, the late Fayette Brown, one of Cleveland's most distinguished citizens.
Ephraim Brown was born at Westmoreland, New Hampshire, October 27, 1775. He was the oldest of the ten children of Ephraim and Hannah (Howe) Brown. In many ways the family was typical of New England middle class people of the eighteenth century. His father had a small farm and by occasional outside labor at some mechanical pursuits was able to afford comfortable support to his family. He was a man of great sturdiness of character, but one virtue he pushed to excess and by going security for a friend lost all his property. After that he never regained his economic position. Ephraim Brown's mother was a woman of deep religious feeling, and she imparted it to her son.
When the financial calamity came Ephraim Brown, as the oldest son, became the chief support of the family. While necessity forced upon him responsibilities beyond his years, it served to develop in him an indomitable perseverance and a self reliance which were ever afterwards among his chief characteristics. But hard labor did not prevent him from seeking and obtaining access to much of the best culture of his day. He read good books, though books and libraries were not widely distributed when he was a young man, and he constantly sought the society of people whose worth rested upon character rather than artificial standards. His developing character is illustrated by many of his early letters which have been preserved. As was the custom of the time such correspondence was largely concerned with moral, religious and political discussions. The letters are important because they show that Ephraim Brown had a certain fearlessness and sincerity of thought and a tendency to reject the conventional prejudices unless they were ratified by his own thinking. He also showed a readiness to be convinced of error in the face of superior argument.
Very early in life he conceived a bitter hatred of the system of slavery, and that was one of the actuating principles of his subsequent career. In a letter he wrote in 1807 to a Southern relative who had tried to persuade young Brown to come South and improve the superior facilities there for making money, Mr. Brown questioned the method by which wealth might be acquired so rapidly by "commerce in human flesh" and added, "I have been taught from my cradle to despise slavery, and will never forget to teach my children if any I should have the same lesson.'' Other sentiments in that letter thirty years later were expounded and used in the public utterances of William Lloyd Garrison and other distinguished abolitionists. Ephraim Brown possessed his mother's earnestness of inward thought and feeling, and whatever religious disposition he had was made a deep part of him rather than a conventional robe of thought and emotion. He was quick and ready at all times to denounce evil vigorously, and some of his more conservative friends felt that he was too radical on this score. Due largely to his love of freedom and his habits of independent thought, he never became closely associated with societies of any kind.
For a number of years he applied himself industriously to the task of earning a living for himself and those dependent upon him, and in 1803 he engaged in merchandising in Connecticut with Thomas K. Green of Putney, Vermont. Mr. Green had charge of the business at Putney, while young Brown managed the branch store at Westmoreland. He remained a merchant there until he moved out to Ohio in 1815. While in Connecticut he represented his town in the Legislature several times. Soon after entering upon his individual business career, on November 9,1806, he married Miss Mary Huntington. She was the oldest daughter of Gurdon and Temperance (Williams) Huntington, and was born at Windham, Connecticut, August 29, 1787. While still a child her father and mother moved to Walpole, New Hampshire. Mrs. Ephraim Brown came from a talented family, and she herself possessed many qualities of both heart and intellect. Before her marriage she taught school. Her ancestors had come from England in 1639 and settled in Connecticut, and one of the family was Governor Samuel Huntington of Ohio.
In 1814 Ephraim Brown formed a partnership with his uncle, Thomas Howe. From Peter C. Brooks of Boston they bought township 7, range 4, in the Western Reserve of Ohio. This township has since taken the name of Bloomfield. In 1815 Mr. Brown brought his family out to the new possession. The journey required six weeks, and they arrived at the new home on July 16th. Some preparations had already been made for their comfort and support, but then and for years afterward they were face to face with the hardships and privations of pioneering on the edge of the western wilderness. Mr. Brown later assumed the burden of the debt consequent upon the partnership, and in a few years had fully discharged it. In 1819 the Ashtabula & Trumbull Turnpike Company was formed and chartered under the laws of Ohio. Ephraim Brown took an active part in pushing this enterprise, in spite of the tremendous obstacles in its way, and as much as any other man credit was due him for its successful completion. For many years he exercised a ceaseless care for the interests of the company and the preservation of the road. Through his influence a postoffice was established at Bloomfield. Within seven years after the first settlement in Bloomfield daily four-horse mail coaches passed through the place on the way to the lake or south to the Ohio River. In consequence land advanced in value, and the better class of settlers acquired many of the comforts and improvements to which they had been accustomed in the older states. After coming to Ohio Ephraim Brown served several terms in the General Assembly. In his younger days he was a Jeffersonian republican, and from first to last was an avowed abolitionist. He believed implicitly in the complete separation of the church and state, and he therefore strenuously opposed the efforts of a prominent religious sect in 1822 to dominate politics. He was long known as Colonel Brown. He had served as captain of a company of militia in New Hampshire, and afterwards was made governor's aide with the rank of colonel. Ephraim Brown in his social relations was distinguished for his kindness, benevolence and hospitality, and in his business transactions by prudence, promptness and integrity. He was the type of character such as any state or community might prize and might hold up as an example to coming generations.
Ephraim Brown died April 17, 1845, in the seventieth year of his life. His wife survived until January 26,1862. Their nine children, all now deceased, were: Alexander; George W.; Mary, who became the wife of Col. Joseph K. Wing; Charles; Elizabeth; James Monroe; Marvin Huntington ; Fayette; Anne Frances.

Fayette Brown. One of the vital elements entering into the making of Cleveland as a city was the establishment many years ago of the iron industry at this point where land and water meet and combine to make Cleveland a great transportation and industrial center. It is important to remember that the iron industry would not have been created without the energies, the foresight and the patient wisdom of men. Of the men chiefly responsible for this factor of Cleveland's growth perhaps the greatest was Fayette Brown. Not that his life did not mean more than its results in the upbuilding of Cleveland's iron interests. He was a great business man from whatever point of view considered, and he was not less great as a citizen, whose judgment was always true, whose public spirit was unlimited, and who, when all things are considered, left as his best monument the City of Cleveland itself, which in the final analysis is only an expression of the energies and spirit of a notable group of citizens, among whom Fayette Brown was by no means the least.
He was born in Trumbull County, Ohio, December 17, 1823, and at the end of a long and useful life died at his home in Cleveland January 20, 1910. He was the eighth in a family of nine children. His parents were Ephraim and Mary (Huntington) Brown. Ephraim Brown was also a conspicuous character in his generation, and his name is the subject of a biography found on other pages of this publication.
Fayette Brown during his early youth had every incentive to develop his natural talents and abilities, and his father, realizing the value of an education, gave his children all the opportunities he could afford. Fayette Brown therefore attended the schools of Jefferson and Gambier, Ohio, but at the age of eighteen began an apprenticeship at business life as clerk in the wholesale dry goods establishment of his eldest brother at Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He was with that establishment as an employe until 1845, when the senior partner having retired he was admitted to the firm and for six years was one of its active managers.
Fayette Brown became a resident of Cleveland in 1851. Some months previously he had formed a partnership with the Hon. George Mygatt in the banking business. The firm of Mygatt & Brown, Bankers, is one best remembered in the history of banking in Cleveland. Mr. Mygatt retired in 1857 and Mr. Brown continued as a banker under his individual name until the outbreak of the Civil war. He closed his banking house and accepted an appointment from the president as a paymaster in the United States Army. His personal integrity and his experience as a banker gave him splendid qualifications for the heavy responsibilities of that work, but a year's illness and the demands of his private affairs compelled him to resign.
It was on his return to Cleveland that Mr. Brown became actively identified with the iron industry. As general agent and manager for the Jackson Iron Company he soon became known as one of the most capable iron masters of his day. He remained with the Jackson Iron Company until December, 1887. "While he possessed an exceptional general knowledge of business, Mr. Brown was not technically familiar with the iron industry when he took up his duties with the Jackson Iron Company. It was in keeping with his nature that he should embark enthusiastically upon this enterprise and should familiarize himself with every detail, practical and technical, connected with his work. His associates always envied his perseverance and his indomitable energy and resolution, and it was the impregnable resources of his personal character as much as anything else that accounted for the wonderful success of the Jackson Iron Company and which eventually fortified the iron industry in Cleveland beyond all danger of outside competition. While the operation of the business was exceedingly profitable to all concerned Mr. Brown from the first realized his responsibility to the city as well as to his stockholders, and the prosperity of the company was also the prosperity of the community. During the last half century the Middle West has developed no greater iron master than Fayette Brown.
Naturally he became identified with various kindred enterprises and was associated as a director or otherwise with some of Cleveland's best known business organizations. He was president of the Union Steel Screw Company, was chairman of the Stewart Iron Company, Limited, was president of the Brown Hoisting Machinery Company, of the National Chemical Company, the G. C. Kuhlman Car Company, and was a member of the firm H. H. Brown & Company, one of the large iron ore firms of the country. This company represented the Lake Superior Iron Company and the Champion Iron Company, handling the products of two of the largest iron mines in the Lake Superior region.
Mr. Brown was a member of the Union Club, the Golf and Country Clubs of Cleveland, the Castalia Club, the Winous Point Shooting Club, the Point Moullie Shooting Club, the West Huron Shooting Club, the Huron Mountain Shooting and Fishing Club, and the Munising Trout Club. To describe all the influences and activities of this notable Cleveland citizen would exceed the limits of this sketch, but something more should be said in a general way to give sharper definition to a sketch which will enable a later generation to picture this veteran iron master and citizen. His was a life from which nothing but good can follow, and a character that may well serve as an example for all that is highest and best in manhood and citizenship. While he attained a high degree of prosperity it was never gained at the cost of other men's success. He was also interested in everything for the good of Cleveland and the welfare of its people; was an advocate and practicer of healthy outdoor life, a keen sportsman, taking his vacations and recreation in shooting and fishing. He was an expert in all things pertaining to sportsmanship. Up to the age of eighty-five he spent many days in the duck marches belonging to the clubs of which he was a member and with as keen an interest and unerring an aim as he had always been noted for. He exemplified to a high degree that classic ideal of mens sana in corpore sano. When he worked it was with indefatigable energy. When he engaged in recreation he did so with as keen an appetite and vigor as when following his business affairs. He kept himself healthy in mind and body and spirit, and though he lived to be upwards of 87 years of age he never really retired and he came to the end of his life with scarcely a faculty diminished until the day of his final illness. At his funeral gathered notable men who had played important parts in making Cleveland the metropolis of Ohio, men who had been fellow workers with Fayette Brown, fellow builders of Cleveland, and they did honor to his memory as one of the greatest of them all and who had signally enriched and expanded his beloved city by his many enterprises.
On July 15, 1847, Fayette Brown married Miss Cornelia C. Curtiss of Allegheny City, Pennsylvania. Mrs. Fayette Brown was born December 4, 1825, and died April 5, 1899. They were the parents of three sons and two daughters: Harvey Huntington Brown, whose part in Cleveland affairs is described elsewhere; Florence C. Brown, of Cleveland; Alexander E. Brown, a great inventor and manufacturer, who died at Cleveland April 26, 1911; William Fayette Brown, who died in 1891; and Mary L. Brown, of Cleveland.

In 1814 Ephraim Brown of West Moreland, New Hampshire, and his uncle, Thomas Howe of Williamstown, Vermont purchased from Peter Chardon Brooks of Boston a tract of land five miles square in the northern part of what is now Trumbull
County. Howe and Brown were boyhood playmates since they were about the same age. It is said that the first business transaction between the two took place when the uncle
and the nephew were both less than ten years of age. Howe rented a setting hen of Brown for the season; and at the expiration of the time agreed upon, returned the hen with half of the chickens. In 1815 Howe sold his share of the township to Brown reserving 1,000 acres in the southern part for himself. Thus Ephraim Brown had to assume the responsibility of developing the area. He hired S.E. Ensign of Mesopotamia to survey the land -- no easy task on account of the swamps. The township was divided into 170 lots, containing 50 acres to 100 acres each, and named West Moreland, probably because Brown had
originally lived in West Moreland, New Hampshire. Later the name was changed to Bloomfield.
Ephraim married Mary Buckingham Huntington on 9 Nov 1806 in Westmoreland, Cheshire, New Hampshire, USA. Mary (daughter of Gurdon Huntington and Temperance Williams) was born on 29 Aug 1787 in Windham, Windham, Connecticut, USA; died on 26 Jan 1862 in North Bloomfield, Trumbull, Ohio, USA.

In the spring and early summer of 1739, he bought three full township rights in the new town called Great Meadows, NH, the records of those deeds are found at Springfield, MA. In 1739 or 1740 he became one of the early settlers of that town.
The year 1744 brought the Indian war, with all its attending horrers, the settlers were obliged to seek safety and shelter in the forts. On the 11th of October 1745, as he was cutting wood a few rods from the fort, he was surprised by a band on Indians and taken captive before help could reach him. He was taken to Canada, where he was kept a prisoner in Quebec for a year and a half, when he died of prison fever 25 May 1747, just as he was about to be redeemed.
His death was a severe blow to his family, and to the community where he was known, as one of his contemporaries wrote of him, "he was greatly beloved by all who knew him." He was possesed of cultivation and refinement far beyond the ordinary. He kept a journal during his prison life which was of inestimable value, for the many items therin recorded of other captives whose fate otherwise would never have been known. It is also a priceless legacy to his descendants, showing as it does, the beautiful Christion character of one who could endure the severest hardships with a grace and dignity rarely to be found.In 1748 these notes were used to publish "A Narrative of The Captivity of Nehemiah How in 1745-1747" (see title page posted here)
Nehemiah Howe was captured by Indians on 11-Oct-1745, during King George's War, near Putney, VT and taken to Canada where he died 18 months later.

An Old Family Burial Site...
"A Tombstone, surrounded by wild strawberry plants, embedded in the soil of the country town of Lancaster, Massachusetts bears mute testimony of facts. The rough slate is boldly cut with the following inscription:
JONATHAN-FAIR BANKS-AND-HIS DAUGHTER-GRACE FAIRBANKS For two hundred and ninety-nine years this stone has weathered the elements to maintain the memory of a tragic event that cut short the lives of Jonathan and Grace. Two nearby stones, carved by the same hand, record the fateful September of 1697 when twenty-seven towns folk were massacred by Indians. Killed in that raid was the town's minister, the Rev. John Whiting. The Jonathan buried in Lancaster surely was not that earlier Jonathan (deceased 1668) whose Dedham home is preserved by the family Association. No, the identity of Jonathan of Lancaster is documented in the monumental book by Lorenzo Sales Fairbanks, Genealogy pp. 49-50. Lorenzo Sales explains that the Jonathan who met his untimely death in Lancaster was the son of Jonas, the third son of the original Jonathan of Dedham. Jonas had moved to western Massachusetts as one of the original settlers of Lancaster in 1657. He was a founding father of that town. Although a carpenter and a farmer, he had a sense of style and self-worth that exceeded his monetary position in society. Even before moving to the frontier of the seventeenth century he was, in 1652, fined a few shillings for violating the sumptuary laws (passed the year before) by wearing great boots before his estate amounted to more than 200 pounds. Jonas married Lydia Prescott of Watertown who bore him seven children. The fourth was Jonathan (b. 7/8/1666). Within ten years, Jonas was dead - having perished in an Indian attack on Lancaster on Feb. 10, 1676. That raid also took away the life of Jonathan's older brother Joshua, who was at the time fifteen years of age. It is not surprising therefore that when Jonathan matured he became a soldier, and was one of the first to venture on long expeditions into the wilderness. He shared in the ill-fated expedition against Quebec in 1690 with Sir William Phips. On Aug 24 1688 he married Mary Hayward of Concord. She gave him three children: Hannah, (d 1704), Grace (d 1697), and Mary (d 1745) Grace was about seven when she perished in the Indian raid of 1697 that killed so many inhabitants of Lancaster, including her father and his younger brother Jonas (b. 1673). Jonathan's wife was carried away with six other Lancastrians as captives, like Mary Rowlandson who had been taken in the l676 raid and wrote a famous account of her captivity and return. All captives from Lancaster but one were redeemed by government intervention and returned to their remaining family members a year later. During the raid of 1697, another brother of Jonathan s, Jabez, saved many Lancastrians in a garrison, or fortified house. He later became a notable soldier commissioned by Governor Dummer, employed as a Captain for long distance travel and scouting throughout the 1720's. "
Died:
Massacred with two children by indians.
Jonathan married Mary Hayward on 24 Aug 1688 in Concord, Middlesex, Massachusetts, USA. Mary (daughter of Joseph Hayward and Hannah Hosmer) was born on 21 Sep 1667 in Concord, Middlesex, Massachusetts, USA; died on 5 Jan 1734 in Lancaster, Worcester, Massachusetts, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:
Boaz Brown was born 14 Feb 1641/2 in Concord Mass. He was admitted as Freeman in Concord 15 Oct 1673. Boaz was one of several men from Concord who were responsible for founding Stow in 1683 when they purchased the indian plantation Pompositticut. He was also chosen as one of the first selectmen for several terms thereafter.
Boaz was the first minister of the Stow Congregational Church. He moved to Dedham where he was called Ensign in the tax records of 1695. Sometime after 1715 he returned to Concord, where he died 9 Apr 1724, at the age of 83. He is buried in the South Burying Ground in Concord.
Excerpt from Boaz Brown's will.
"..unto my two grandsons Amos Brown and Boaz Brown ye children of my youngest son Edward Brown deceased I do will and bequeath all my housing and lands to me belonging within ye limits and bounds of ye aforesaid Town of Stow.". The will also mentions his "..three grandchildren, Deliverance Brown, Mercy Heald, and Ephraim Brown ye surviving children of my eldest son Boaz Brown deceased".

FAIRBANK. Jonathan Fairbanks or Fairbank, immigrant ancestor, was born in England before 1600, and came to Boston with his family in 1633. He remained there about three years, then settled in Dedham, where he was pioneer, and a signer of the Dedham convenant. His house is still standing in Dedham, and is now owned by the family association, having been occupied to the present time by Jonathan and his lineal descendants. He was a town officer, and died December 5, 1668. He married Grace Lee, who died December 28, 1673. Children: 1. John. 2. George. 3. Mary. 4. Susan. 5. Jonas, mentioned below. 6. Jonathan.
(II) Jonas, son of Jonathan Fairbanks, was born in England and came to Dedham with his parents. He signed the covenant in 1657, and March 7, 1659, became one of the fathers of the town. He was a farmer and believed to be a carpenter also. In 16752 he was fined for wearing great boots, not being worth two hundred pounds, the amount of wealth prescribed by the laws of the colony, in 1651 to suffice for men who could lawfully wear great boots. He removed to Lancaster in 1657. There he met his death in the assault by King Philip and fifteen hundred warriors, February 10, 1675, 76. Some fifty persons were slain that day, including Joshua Fairbanks, son of Jonas. Jonas Fairbanks married, May 28, 1658, Lydia Prescott, born in Watertown, August 15, 1641, daughter of John Prescott, who came from Sowerby, Halifax, England, the English home of the Fairbanks family. she married (second) Ellis Barron, of Watertown, Groton and Lancaster.

(III) Captain Jabez, son of Jonas Fairbanks, was born at Lancaster, January 8, 1670-71, and settled there after the war. He died March 2, 1758. He was a very efficient soldier and officer in the Indian War, and was no doubt incited to heroic exploits by the massacre of his father and brother in 1676, and of his only surviving brother in 1697, during a raid on the town. At the time his brother Jonathan and one of his children were killed, Captain Jabez was the means of saving a garrison and perhaps many lives, including that of his little son Joseph. Twenty-one persons were killed this raid, two were wounded, and six carried off captives, of whom five were ransomed later, including the wife of Jonathan Fairbanks. In 1700 Jabez Fairbanks had land granted him on both sides of the brook above Thomas Sawyer's sawmill. This site was the homestead of Jabez and his descendants for a hundred years. He was deputy to the general court in 1714-21-22-23. He married (first) Mary wilder, who died February 21, 1718, in her forty-third years, daughter of Thomas and Mary (Houghton) Wilder. He married (second) March 25, 1719, Elizabeth Whitcomb, who died May 11, 1755, aged about eighty years. Children of first wife: 1. Joseph. 2. Jabez. 3. Elizabeth. 4. Jonas. 5. Thomas, mentioned below. 6. Abigail. 7. Jonathan. 8. Grace. 9. Joshua. 10. Anna.
