Ellie -----Original Message----- From: brown-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:brown-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Carolyn Brown Sent: Tuesday, April 21, 2009 2:06 PM To: brown@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [BROWN] reply My husband's Brown is his grandfather William Ethridge Brown (Also known as W E Brown) b May 25 or either 1859 or 1861 depending on which Pickens Co, AL census you use. William Ethridge Brown was born in TN to parents who were born in NC. William died in Harris Co, TX in 1919.   Allen has 3 67/67 DNA matches that have not been able to connect, either to him nor to each other. One gentleman goes back to Bladen Co, NC about 1762 Edmund Brown, son of Thomas Brown. Allen has a 25/25 match with another gentleman in Johnston Co, NC whose ancestors have been there since the late 1700's, but again we are unable to make the connection.   Any help would be appreciated. He named his daughter Flora Belle Brown, possibly after a sister or aunt.   Allen has only 17 12/12 matches 8 of which are not Browns. Instead they are Odoms, Blacks and Duncans. Since the 12/12 match goes back to about the start of surnames and 2/3 are English names with 1/3 being Scottish, I am theorizing that he perhaps originally lived in the area around the English-Scottish border.  Could be totally wrong.   We would like to encourage more Browns to join the DNA project at FamilyTreeDNA.com.   Carolyn and Allen E Brown   This list is for any Brown. I am suggesting we hear from Ireland Scotland and English as mainly I see Georgia, NC, SC and Virginia. So it would be nice to see anyone who thinks they are or knows they are from these countries. If not that sure would be nice to hear a LOT MORE from the New England States, Ohio, Michigan and Pennsylvania.
