    Biography of Susannah Rebecca (Harman) Brown
    AKA Susannah Rebecca Harman/Harmon
    Near Foxville, Fredrick County, Maryland
    Copyright 2012 by M. Alan Brown

    ...Susannah Rebecca (Harman) Brown was born April 30, 1775 in Fredrick County, Maryland the daughter of Marcus (Mark) Harman Jr. who was born about 1730 and whose ancestors were originally from Dresden, Germany, and Christina (Leatherman) Harman who was born around 1732, the two were married about 1755. Christina had previously been married to a Christian Gates (also spelled Getz/Goetz/Gotz) and they had two children Barbara Gates born in 1750 who married Peter Smith/Schmidt on December 29, 1795, she died two years later in 1797; and Jacob Gates born around 1753 who married Rosina or Roseanna. Jacob died August 17, 1842 and is buried in the Foxville Lutheran 4 cemetery and his wife Roseanna died September 2, 1845 and is also buried in the Foxville Lutheran 4 cemetery. Susannah was the sister of Christian Harman who was born May 18, 1771, he married Mary (Anna Maria) Morningstar in 1788 and he died April 18, 1843, Elizabeth Harman; Catherine Harman; and Christina/Christiana Harman was born in 1778 and who married Johan Henrich (Henry) Stempel/Stemple on March 9 or 11, 1798; and the stepsister of Barbara Gates and Jacob Gates. At the time of her birth she would have lived on her father's land being a 30 acre tract in the Catoctin Mountains called "Nolin Mountain or Nole in Mountain" or on a 36 acre tract of land her father purchased July 30, 1774 called "Jacob's Spring." Part of this property is located in what is now Cunningham Falls State Park. It is interesting to note that from the original Brown property, now part of the Brown Farm Environmental Study Area in Catoctin Mountain Park, you can walk on the Brown Farm Trail, cross Manahan Road, pick up the Catoctin Trail, cross Park Central Road and follow it down to Route 77, cross the road and continue straight down the hill to Cunningham Falls. Susannah's father Marcus was in the lumber business and he operated a sawmill on his land. He also had an orchard from which they distilled cider and brandy to sell. The sawmill was located on Big Hunting Creek at the fork of Catoctin Hollow road, then called Harman Hollow road, and route 77. This property was across Route 77 not far from where the Blue Blazes Whiskey Still was located. When her father Marcus died prior to October 11, 1797, he left Susannah 100 pounds current money and the remainder of the bonds and loose estate being shared with her mother and her natural sisters. Susannah's mother Christina also died in 1797 but it is unknown if she died before or after Marcus.
    ...Sometime around 1793 or 1794, Susannah married Thomas Brown Jr. and they resided on the old Brown Homestead off of Manahan Road, probably the tract of land called "Round Meadow," or the tract of land called "Stones Enough." Together Susannah Rebecca and Thomas Brown Jr. had ten children.
