The Town of Luzerne is where
Jonathan Brown, Moses Brown and Amos Baker owned land in the early 1800s. In 1824
Jonathan Brown and his co-owners lost the land to Douw Fonda in a Sheriffs
sale described on the documents page. The land consisted of two parcels
totaling about 400 acres within the
Town of Luzerne, Warren County, on Lot 4, Allotment 23 of the Patent of
Kayaderosseras. On this map the original map maker used an incorrect Roman
Numeral to identify Allotment 23, that is, "XVIII"
instead of "XXIII". Confirmation of this error can be obtained
by referring to Burr's 1829 Map shown below.

This 1858 map
of Luzerne and Queensbury, showing individual's names, is a tracing done in 1941
by I. & A. W. Miller from a map prepared by J. Chace, Jr., and published by
E. A. Balch & W.O. Shearer, 517 Minor St., Philadelphia in 1858. The numbers
within circles are the Lot numbers of the various Patents and Patent Allotments.
In the extreme lower left of this map, the name "J. S. Brown" is
written across lots 4 & 5 of Allotment 23 of the Patent of
Kayaderosseras and a small dot is placed on Lot 5, ostensibly indicating
the location of a house belonging to "J. S. Brown." This
location is N43º 13.9683'
W073º 46.2267'
(WGS84 Datum). It is not known if this was Jonathan Brown's house, but it
seems likely that it may have been him or his son, Jonathan, given that the 1824
Sheriff's Sale showed Jonathan owning land in this same general area.

This is a topo
map of the area of Lots 4 & 5, of Allotment 23 of the Patent of Kayaderosseras.
The "X" marks the location of the home of "J.S. Brown"
according to a map drawn by J. Chance Jr., and published in 1858 by E.A. Balch
& W.O. Shearer in Philadelphia. It is not yet confirmed who "J.S.
Brown" may be but this location is very near the location of the land owned
by Jonathan Brown and sold at Sheriff's sale.
