Hello, I am a female descendant of a large Brown family. My grandmother was Mary Idaho Brown and she was born in Kootenai County, Idaho. I have no contact with any MALE member of my Brown family. I would LOVE to know of a male Brown or any Brown genealogy cousins to correspond with and perhaps help with the DNA study. My earliest Brown is one of the three James Browns in Nelson/Hardin/LaRue Counties, Kentucky. He was there as early as 1785ish. He had 9 known children, one of which was my direct ancestor - Joseph Brown, b. 1785 in Virginia (or perhaps Kentucky before it was a state?). Joseph moved to Spencer County, Indiana, then Porter County, Indiana, where he died. His son, Daniel Clinton Brown (also my direct ancestor) moved to Lincoln County, Nebraska where he died. His son and my direct ancestor, Joseph Manuel Brown moved to Kootenai County, Idaho. I know he had two sons, William Gilbert and Daniel Clinton, who moved to Spokane, Washington, where my grandmother's family also moved briefly before moving to California. Through research, I have found some other Brown relatives of Daniel Clinton Brown of Nebraska who moved to Oregon and Nevada. I believe others might have stayed in Nebraska. Some of the earliest members of the family probably stayed in the Hardin/LaRue Counties, Kentucky area. These Browns were tall, thin people with elongated (rather than roundish) heads. I have seen this characteristic in other Brown families. If there is a chance that you are related to my Browns, please contact me.

Katie, if you would send me your email address, I would like to talk to you concerning my husband's Brown side of the family. There may be no relationship but perhaps there is.
