Dear Listmembers ,I am researching the families of the 2 Jacob Brown's who were in Washington County in the late 1700s. One had a son Benjamin who married Sarah Hawkins Sevier. Does anyone know what happened to this couple? My ancestor Elizabeth Brown b about 1800 was married in Union Co IL in 1818. The 2nd Jacob had several children who went to that area, but there was also a Benjamin who took up land at the same time in Union Co who was not related to them. I have narrowed it down to George Brown, or Benjamin as the father of my Elizabeth, but I have not been able to find out where Benjamin came from. Elizabeth's eldest daughter was named Sarah. Anyone have any suggestions about either of these families? Betty Silfies
