Brownell lineage contradiction
I hope some generous soul will help me with a confusing Brownell lineage problem.
The E.E. Brownell collection has the lineage of Cornelius Briggs Brownell (7) b. 23 Apr.1804, spouse Mary Rullison; (Benjamin Franklin (6) b.19 Aug,1799 + Mary Record; Stephen (5) b.21 Nov.,1741 + Margaret Church; Joseph (4) b. 13 Feb 1698/99 + Leah Lawton; Thomas (3) b. 25 may 1674 + Esther Tabor; William (2) b. 1653 + Sarah Smiton; Thomas (1) b. 5 Jun 1608 + Anne Bourne)
Other Sources have the lineage of Cornelius as; (Benjamin Franklin (6) b.19 Aug 1778 + Mary Record; Stephen (5) b. 21 Nov. 1747 + Margaret Church; Joseph (4) b. Dec 1722 + Elizabeth Crandall; Benjamin (3) b. 11 apr. 1697 + Hannah Manchester; Robert (2) b. 1652 + Mary Ladd; Thomas (1) b. abt. 5 Jun. 1608 + Anne Bourne).
As another example, this same contradiction exists in the lineage of Hicks Brownell b. 24 Apr. 1800, and among many others.
If someone has the documentation as to which of these lines is correct, I will appreciate an answer.Dick Atkinson
