I am very interested in the outcome of this also. I have a William Brown married to an Elizabeth in the early 1800's. One of their children was John Brown who later married Ann Sidwell (I think) and had three children: John T. Brown, Wilson N. Brown, and Job Brown. Is this the same family as yours??
