To all who are hunting Joshua Brown & Charlotte Morris: I receive my copy of the original land warrant from Bedford County Oct 31, 1785. It is a little different from the one you get from the state archives. The good thing about the one from Blair county, is the fact that they list Daniel, Joshua & James Brown together as one. It is listed exactly like this: "Dan'l, Joshua & James Brown". I feel comfortable about assuming that they are either brothers or at least very ,very close cousins.......but I would tend to believe brothers because they bought land near each other and at the same time. So, now we need to find a Brown family that had children Daniel, James & Joshua Another item is, I have had quite a few researchers mention that the bible record says Joshua Brown was born in Cumberland, MD. I have a copy someone sent me of the bible page from the bible, and a copy of the typewritten copy, both, and I don't see anywhere on either of them where it says where he was born...the Cumberland, MD part. I am afraid someone wrote that on it later....possibly?. However, I do think we are going to find that is indeed where he was from, but I don't see it on the bible page, where we could use that for proof. Does anyone know differently for sure? This certainly is one of the hardest families I have worked, as far as digging up tidbits and putting them together like a puzzle. I was also told the William Brown b.ca 1765 in Md, that was in Huntingdon Co, PA at the same time as our Joshua Brown, was also born in Cumberland, MD. And William named one of his sons Joshua. In fact, his children have many of the same names that our Joshua named his children. So, I am adding him to the list of possible siblings to Joshua to look for, plus the fact that William Brown married Ruth Lane, the niece of my Ruth Lane that married Vincent Steven. 3 of Vincents grandchildren married Joshua Brown's grandchildren. Seems too coincidental.
