VI. JOSEPH BROWN FAMILY.
1. The man who was known as " JOE. BROWN," who lived at 3 and 94, was properly called BRUNO THEBERGE. His son, called PETER BROWN, is properly PIERRE THEBERGE. Look for this family under Theberge. Another son, called CHARLES BROWN, must be sought under CHARLES THEBERGE. The name of Brown was improperly given to these people, although the name is now well fastened upon the family and may eventually supplant the true name.
