Thanks Joyce, I know that there have been many that made assumptions about my Brown family line which is John Thomas Brown descending from Sarah Canoe. Knowing so little about the research angles and where to begin, I have just not followed up on it yet. I stopped at the Guion Miller Roll rejections. I do appreciate your kind words and help though.
