Sonya....at least she matches!I haven't heard of any Indian blood in the Brown line but wouldn't rule it out. I know in our French ancestry lines there has been although we can't prove it. More often than not the Indian name was changed to our "English" one when they were married so the Indian doesn't show up. My own family comes from early Canada (1634) and there were very few women here at that time. Makes sense that a few would have married Native. I checked out your line on the Brown DNA project. I guess it doesn't match but so many other things point to a relation. Both were married in Saratoga, Saratoga County New York and around the same time. The naming pattern of children seems right but guess not. Maybe this young lady will have some answers. We do have Brown family in Manitoba but they didn't travel there until a bit later..around 1830 I think.
