Brownell was a very common name in Little Compton, Newport Co, RI.I have a copy of BF Wilbour's 'Little Compton Families' and find several Benjamins in the Brownell family.I know my Simmons family emigrated to Upstate New York in the late 1700's; it is feasible that your Brownells moved to PA.If you can make any connection to RI, I may be able to help you.This book is a valid source and accepted by the Mayflower Society.
