Thanks Tracy. I have a copy of the deed from Deed Book OO page 640 circa 1857. I am not very far on the research of the Browns, but was also wondering about the Stancil family, rather the father of Martha. Thanks for your information. I will save it and continue to piece it all together as I time permits.
