Open questions

  • Whose daughter was she? The tree makes her the daughter of Edward Browne and Ella Persis Chapin, but attaches no record for it, and what was found points the other way. The Chapin Book (1924), compiled while Ella was living, gives her marriage to Edward Browne in 1875 and then “Children: BROWNE. No issue” (source). Kith and Kin (1922), by Ella’s first cousin, who thanks her for details, lists no child for her (source). The Chicago Blue Books of 1899 and 1904 list “Mr. & Mrs. Edward Browne” and Ella’s father at their address, with no daughter (source). She could have been adopted or a ward, or the tree may have joined her to the wrong Brownes. Her 1964 death certificate, her marriage to Ralph Hatten, the 1900 census of the Browne household and her Social Security application would settle it. Until then, nothing on the Browne and Chapin side is counted as Patricia’s on the Notable connections page. (research/hatten/Browne_Chapin_Cumins.md)
