In 1830 a William Brown is living next door to a James Brown. James and wife Nancy Meads with 7 children came to Illinois in 1838. I wonder if William is a brother. Also some of the sweat/sweet family came with them. I can provide you with more on the Brown children, as the parents died after they reached Illnois.
