notes:Primary records mention a branch, but not a settlement. Gideon Brownell was bishop, so could it be the same as the later Brownell's Grove? Both are in the same vicinity (Indian Mill/Mosquito region). Many people have been confused because the ''Bertrand'' was a steamboat that wrecked nearby many years later.
