Jetta, Sorry, but I do not find a William Nelson Brown in my database. Since Solomon had sons named William and Nelson, it is possible that another brother named his son for his two brothers (as my William did with sons Ira, James, George, all named for brothers), but I have nothing to substantiate that theory. I did find three family trees on Ancestry.com with the same information for William Nelson Brown, but they had nothing further for Wm. Nelson's parents, just reiterated information you already have. Perhaps one is your tree. Did find through googling the following site that supposedly has a William Nelson Brown: http://incolor.inetnebr.com/rgcox/moninger.htm These Brown families can be such a frustration to us, but don't give up! It took me 15 years, but finally found a clue and then parents (Solomon and Marina) for my William born VT.
