Hi:
Want to thank all of you Brown Researcher for your kind responses to my
query relative to John S. Brown and Mary Popham. Fortunately I have
information on the Popham family all the way back to Gilbert de Popham who married
Jane or Joan Clarke around 1200. I was fortunate in that I was able to
obtain a copy of the book that Theron Vasco Morrison and
his wife Louise Humphreys Morrison researched and compiled on the Popham
Family before his death some 10 plus years ago. As for the Brown Family I
have done very little research because of my advanced age and disability
getting around.
Thanks again and Best Regards to All.

The progenitor of that family was Job Popham who was born in 1738 in
Westmoreland County, son of John Popham (d. 1740 Westmoreland) and his second
(and much younger) wife Rachel Evins. The second husband of Rachel Evins was
James Maxwell whose daughter Hannah Maxwell was the first wife of Matthew
Hawkins. Rachel Evins was the "nearest relation and heir of Thomas
Stonehouse" to a 1000 acre grant on the Hazel River tn 1728.
I have not done a thorough study of the Popham family, but they interweave
quite a bit with their Hawkins cousins. So much so that one the Popham /
Hawkins marriages was annulled by a jury on the grounds of consanguinity. (I
think it was an easy way to just get a divorce, frankly.) The couple in
question was Hawkins Popham and Rebecca Hawkins, and this was in 1823 and
Rebecca promptly remarried to John Story. But I digress.

I have confirmed that the other three Brown/Popham marriages that I
mentioned before all involved Browns who were members of DNA "Group 10" (all were
apparently out of Mordecai Brown "I" and Culpeper Co., VA), but my fellow
Brown researchers and I are not sure about this John S. Brown. The Brown
family of DNA "Group 47" was in Rappahannock Co., VA, so it is POSSIBLE that
John S. Brown was a member of that Brown family instead of "Group
10"....but more research is apparently needed. Here is one file that I found on
that line:
