William Thomas Brown

Submitted by: Taneya Koonce

William Thomas Brown was born Oct. 12, 1832 and died April 12, 1898. On 7 Jan 1868, he married Isabelle Harralson, born Aug 18, 1850 and died Dec. 7, 1927. They were the parents of triplets born in 1887:

Herbert Brown b. Jan 29, 1887; d. Jan 30, 1887
Herman Brown b. Jan 29, 1887; d. July 7, 1887
Hiram Brown b. Jan 29, 1887; d. Jan. 30, 1887

The triplets were said to be the first triplets born in this area of the state. They were such an oddity that many from the community went to visit and touch them. It was thought that if visitors had been limited, the babies might have lived. They are buried in MT. Zion Cemetery in Beech Grove, KY.
