You keep talking as if there was only one BROWN family; I'm sure there were many. On my website I have a Benjamin BROWN, born about 1718 in Wales who died 9 Nov 1762 at Brown's Cove. He had two wives and thirteen children. This line ties into my DABNEY, HARRIS and RODES lines. Several generations later they also tie into my McNEILL line in what's now West Virginia (not to be confused with other BROWNs from Massachusetts).

Bill, one of your emails looks very promising! By the way, I keep coming across Brown's Cove. Was the Brown family estate located there? Regards, Lynn
