 | | William Haywood Brown (Willie), son of William Haywood Brown, Sr., and Eleanor Harrison Brown was born October 12, 1843, in Perrysville, Indiana (Vermillion County). |
 | | William was probably enticed to enter the 11th Indiana Regiment because family friends, John Charles “Charley” and William Black, had become members of the Regiment (there were apparently other Danville, Illinois, residents who enlisted in the 11th Indiana Regiment, as well). |
 | | Brown’s brother, Thomas Reeves Brown, was a member of the “Fremont Rifles,” having formally enlisted from Danville, Illinois, on August 18, 1861 and mustered in on September 18th. |
