The will was dated 25 August 1871. Witnesses to the will were Philip Siepel and Joseph Fawver. William Brown's wife was "Julyan," then later she was listed as "Julia Ann." Also in the will were the following names: daughter Hetty An daughter Rebecka Montague daughter Nancy Hamilton daughter Susan Sprage son Samuel Brown son William Brown son Ruben Brown I noticed similarities in first names, but have not examined dates you list. Just thought it might connect & be of interest to you in your research.
