Brown-60527 and Brown-8484 appear to represent the same person because: Brown-60527 is unsourced. Is the same person as Brown-8484
Has anyone proven that Nancy is the biological daughter of George? She is not mentioned in George's Will. In her FindAGrave profile, she (and Sarah) are listed as "assigned". Unfortunately, the profile owner HBB was unwilling to share more info on what this meant, but suggested I purchase her husband's book, Descendants of Joshua Brown, for $51. Could she and Sarah be the same Nancy Brown with daughter Sarah Brown mentioned in Van Swearingen's Will, dated 1793 in Ohio County, VA (now Brooke, WV)? The yDNA of my 2 brothers' with surname BROWN since 1844 exactly matches SWEARINGEN. So I'm trying to find details on this non-marital event. Thanks!

I like 1765 for the death date, that is referred to in Findagrave on her husband's profile as the death year and found in other places as well.

Her birth date was wrong, she was born 1723

And was the first wife of Richard Wells. See the 'Find A Grave' and put her back as wife of Richard but change the date please!

Her date may have been in error. I will look into it when I have time. I appreciate your message.

Removed as wife of Richard Wells to fix error on error report...a ten yr old can't get married or have kids.

Brown-36340 and Brown-8484 appear to represent the same person because: Brown-36340 must be invalid....how can a girl 10 or less have children?Everything available indicates the 1723 date accurate for Nancy's birth year.
