A cousin asked me to help sell some books that he inherited. One is a wonderful book on the Brown family. Genealogy of The Brown Family of Prince William County, Virginia and The Following Groups of Families Allied by Marriage Bland, Buckner, Byrne, Fairfax, Morgan, Tebbs, Watson, Zinn and Others. By James Edgar Brown of the Chicago Bar Copyright 1920 This has 874 pages including the index and is in like new condition. There is a bill in the book for $183 dated 1999. It was printed by Higginson Co. who I have found reprints a book on order. It cost me over $90 recently to have a smaller book printed, expensive but one I have coveted for years and could never find it. Upon checking the Brown book, it appears to have first been published in 1898 and updated in this edition. The documented history goes back to 1726 in Va. but with a possibility the Brown family was here much earlier. Records a lot a people in WV.
