    1. Re: [BROWN] Coleman Brown and Martin Worthington
    2. We are looking for the wife of both Coleman Brown and Martin Worthington. Coleman Brown was killed in an Indian raid led by Chief Logan on July 12, 1774 near Simpson's Creek in what is now West VA during Dunmore's Border Warfare. After Coleman's death, the history of Worthington, Marion Co., West VA states that Martin Worthington married the Widow of Coleman Brown after he was killed by Indians. Both men were early settlers in the area before 1774. This is the site of the account of the history of Worthington. http://www.pa-roots.org/~marion/towns/worthingtonhis.html My ggg grandfather, William "Billy" Brown [born 1773 in PA], is thought to be the only child we know about of Coleman and his wife [name unknown]. We have no documented proof of their relationship, except a family journal stating Billy's father was killed by Indians when he was about one year old and the passage in the Marion towns history about Martin Worthington. There was a message on the Worthington message board from a David Worthington stating that the siblings of Marcus Worthington were Joab, Lee, Wiliam Jr., John and Coleman. Marcus had a daughter, Mary Weatherington. Any information that would lead us to the descendents and ancestors of either these Brown and Worthington families would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for you time and assistance. Regards, bjshackelford [email protected]
