3. EVE² NEWMAN, born circa 1794-1801; married [—?—] BROWN. An Eve Brown was living near Michael Newman in 1850, but no husband was listed. I am assuming she was our Eve (Newman) Brown.

10	iii.	Lydia Brown; born circa 1839. An Emma Downing, born circa 1844, was also in the Harrisburg household in 1850 and 1860 with Eve Brown.
