Bill,
I know how you feel! I thought sure my Isham would belong to a group of Browns in the Bedford or Montgomery co. VA. area, I knew I was having a difficult time with matching him to the Wythe and Smyth co.Va. Brown families and never had a drop of luck.What is now making sense to me is the Brown/Braun line that must have been related to the Michael Brown/Braun line of Rowan co, NC.. some of these decended to Wythe co VA. and lived near my Isham.
Now that we have a BrownDNA, I have discovered that our Brown line was most likely previously spelled Brown(e). There is a George Brown on our list who dates back to the 1600's and thinking lived in PA.Seems like this family must have spread throughout Va, Nc, SC. in the earlier times of the earliest known George Brown..it would be nice to know the siblings of all these Browns, or if there were any!
Most of the people on the list may not know who the fathers of there earliest known relative were. I know the George Brown of Surry Nc who migrated to Pendleton, Anderson,SC may have had grandfather David Brown and great grandfather Jacob and Elizabeth Brown....There is an interesting story about an Hurricane Sally which married one of these Browns, probably David... .Hurricane Sally was found in a tree stump? in VA. when she was 3yrs.old due to a hurricane. The Brown family found her and raised her and one of these Browns mentioned (above)asked his father for permission to marry Sally...family lore has it that this George Brown is the grandson, but they dont know who the father of George was.
So if this is true, then it tells me that the family migrated South from VA to Surry co.NC and Pendleton, Anderson ,SC.
The Samuel Brown on our list, no father listed , Samuel was born ca. 1768 .. and will take some sorting of the Browns in Surry co.NC. and mabe some surrounding counties.
The Thomas Brown b. ca. 1773 in Botetourt, and some have Augusta co. VA. father may have been John James Brown b. Dec. 23, 1731 in Hanover co. VA..if this information is accurate it isgetting a little closer to your Isham Brown in the Prince Edward/Prince George/Prince Williams co. VA., and John James Brown was born 1731 around the era, of your Isham Brown b. ca. 1745.
Booker Brown Sr. on our list b. ca. 1760, Rockbridge VA., d. in Ohio.Booker Brown Jr. b. 1785,Rockbridge co.Va? married Cassandra Clearwater.
The John Wesley Brown on our list may have originated from Pendleton, Anderson,SC..need more investigation.
It would be nice to contact all our members and have them post here and add any input or corrections to what I have posted..who knows mabe between all of us we can put this together.
