Hi Jeff Have you sorted this out yet? I do not see any STATE mentioned, could you help me out there? I am a daughter of a William BROWN, son of John Willis BROWN, son of Jonas BROWN 1823-1896. May go on back to Heinrich BRAUN,1744, Wurtenberg, Germany. He immigrated in 1751 and changed his name spelling to Henry BROWN. I haven't found record of how they got to Ohio, but some were born in Pennsylvania. And I haven't found any immigration records, etc. Just thought maybe there was a chance relationship?
