Actually I think the book is wrong on this Abraham. The record I transcibed from original town records on FHL film shows Absalom BROWN b. 29 Aug 1793 to Absalom BROWN and Abigail BEAN. He is a brother to my Lorenza b. 30 Jan 1804. I did not have his marriage and family info. Thank you for providing it.
