Carol Golly, we have to talk. Your William was very probably brother of Lloyd Brown, also of Perry/Muskingum County OH and before that MD. I've been trying to sort out the Madison County pioneer Browns for twenty years and have much information to share, many questions to ask. Contact me directly please, because this will be a looooong series of chats.
