Carolyn, If you ever run upon a William Brown that at some point lived in the Culpeper Co, VA area, and was born prior to 1769, please let either Gerald L. Brown or me know about the discovery!!! There were so many William Brown's. Think I told you that I am in BrownDNASociety group #55 as Samuel James Brown, Jr. Gerald is also in the same group and we know our crossings, but each are having problems with finding out more about a William ?

Oh, those "William Browns"!!!! My William is" William C. Brown", b. 1792 in Rhode Island. In the 1830's he was in Cazenovia, Madison Co. New York, He was in Butler, Wayne, Co., NY in 1840, The 1860 census has him in Chelsea, Sharon, Michigan, living with his daughter, Mary Brown Stewart. I thought perhaps Peleg was his father, but am now wondering if Stukeley (son of Ebenezer) might be his father. ----- Appreciate any and all help.
