I descend from Francis's children Wallace William AND Edy Brown. Wallace married Nancy Bell Hill (d/o Edward P. Hill and Sarah Hamilton) and Edy married Jesse Van Hoose (s/o John Van Hoose and Mary Bryan). I am researching the origins of Mary Bryan and John Van Hoose as part of the Brown's origins because they share allied families.

SOME ALLIED FAMILIES ARE: Coleman, Enoch or Innes, Friend, Cresap, Neville, Ross, Bryan, Boone, Morgan, Lemaster, Hite, Arnold, Saunders, Slaughter, Hornbeck, Auxier, Lightfoot, Nalle and Ball
