Joel appears to have done a lot of research which leads me to believe that William was the son of Rueben and not Francis as I have seen in other trees. So I have some editing to do in my tree. Either way, William is our common ancester, and we are third cousins once removed. I have gotten several laughs from some of the connections people have put in their trees based on bad information. Some have Levi Browning fathering a child when he was 8 years old. Another has a female giving birth when she was about 4 years old and then another when she was 7. I am new to a lot of this stuff, so I really appreciate the help that you have given me. Thank you, Steven Browning stevenb25607@msn.com
