Hi, List! Here's my contribution to the roll-call. This is as far back as I have on my Brown/e lines. I am particularly interested in anyone who has info on any NICHOLAS Brown. My Nicholas (b. 1765) was a patriot in the Rev. War at a very young age. The name Nicholas is VERY common in my family on all branches, and because family lore says we're related to the Nicholas Brown who endowed Brown University in Rhode Island, I'm desperately trying to trace back before old George to see if there was a Nicholas Browne that all the subsequent descendants were named after. Everyone else in the family had either British royalty names (i.e., Edward, George, William, James, etc.) or Biblical names. So, I'm asking myself...where did the Nicholas come from (it sounds Russian)? My family is originally from England, and isn't connected with the German Braun's or the Scottish/Irish Browns. Also would love to hear from any who has info on Capt. OLIVER Brown who was famous in the Rev. War. He was born in Lexington, Mass. and finally settled in Brooke Co., Va (WV) where he died. Family lore says we're also related to him. OK, now that I've rambled long enough, here's my old George and his children. Have quite a bit of info on his descendants, so if you think there's a possible match, just send me an e-mail and I'll check to see if I have anything. Rita (Brown) Werner Taylorville, IL GEORGE BROWNE was born Abt. 1690 in England, and died Abt. 1770 in Frederick Co., MD. He married MARY STEVENSON Abt. 1714. She died Abt. 1771.
