There are many William Brown's and James Brown's in Virginia. Believe me, I
am a Brown researcher and I have many in my own line. Therfore,  can you
tell us specifically which one's they are? Birth, death, marriage dates,
etc. Someone may be able to find them in their lineage for you if you give
them more info.

Sincerely,
Lonny J. (Brown) Watro
