BETTY & All, Do you have the names of their children by chance? At this point we really just don't know. We think the 2 sets of families connect somewhere, but we don't know where or how yet. We are digging at everything trying to find a tidbit of information as to who the parents of Joshua, Daniel & James Brown in Bedford/Huntingdon County were. The only connection we have to the Lancaster County group at this point is the same pattern of naming children the same names. But, the Baltimore, MD group "George Brown & Mary Stevenson' also named their children with the same name patterns. So...we now have 3 families with the same naming pattern for their children. Is this just a coincidence????
