Paul, I am interested in your William Brown, Scot-Irishman fron Pennsylvania. I descend from John COULTER and Mary SEMPLE. Mary SEMPLE's sister, Sarah SEMPLE, was the wife of William BROWN, They were married in 1769 in Dauphin Co. PA. A PA Genealogies book that I found in the library indiactes that Wm. BROWN and Sarah SEMPLE moved to the Greenbrier valley accompanied by John COULTER and Mary SEMPLE. John and Mary were not too difficult to trace however I have not been as lucky with the BROWNs. John and Mary had 8 children including daughters, Mary and Jane. Mary COULTER married a James BROWN and Jane COULTER married a George BROWN. I have never been able to document that James and George BROWN were brothers and first cousins to Mary and Jane COULTER but the info you posted would certainly make me think I was right. Do you have any info on the wives of George and James BROWN? Vanessa Dumrauf
