I have a Granville Brown ("Esq." of Halleck,WV.) m. Elizabeth Watson and had at least two children, James and Samuel.

It is Morton's Volume "History of Preston County." It seems to have been just added as an afterthought. The Volume deals with genealogical histories of about 25-40 individuals. It can be seen at WVU Colson and I understand that the Parson firm has reprinted the book. Phil Wheeler
