Carolyn, I am a descendant of the John Brown in your post. Are you thinking that Mary Brown might be an older sibling of John? Not all of William's children are known, so it's possible.
Have you done any DNA testing? If you have a male cousin who still carries the Brown surname, he could do a Y chromosome test at Family Tree DNA. There is a Brown project there with known descendants from Thomas and other lines.
I also have several Brown descendants who have tested at 23andMe. The DNA Relatives tool there can identify cousins from any line of descent -- it doesn't have to be a straight male line. I've also tested at AncestryDNA and with FTDNA's Family Finder test.
