Hi Linda
I have searched all my papers for a later connection with the Browns and the surnames you are interested in with no luck.I did find that my records show that a Hudson wit. the Mullin document in Hanover, not a Housen.This seems to make senceto me, since the Hudsons witnessed other documents in Hanover.As I have stated in earlier posts, I believe that Benjamin Brown was connected either by marriage or blood to Catherine Smith or William Mullins.I can find a connection with both to earlier people who are probably related to Benjamin or one of his wives.The Arnold, Dabney, Via, Mullin, Bartlett (Bartilot) and Smith names are all important names that need to be studied both in US and overseas.There are an unheard of number of Bartlett boy names being used in the early and mid 1700's to have come from the Thomas Barlett in Rappa. and Essex Counties in the 1660's that show up connecting to our Browns.Maybe if more was learned about the Bartletts and where they came from then a lot of people could find out where their ancestors came from and how they connect.Just a hunch.
I hope this helps a little.
