Dear Dan, Thanks for your posting on the Brown's in Rowan. I have checked out the book. Mine are the ones in the book who went to Union Co IL in about 1818. Unfortunately I can't link my Elizabeth Brown who married in Union in 1818 to the correct father. Or there is a Benjamin who might be her father and I can't find out where he came from. I also can't find any links between these Browns and the ones in Guilford though they were both German. Betty
