DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Jacob by comparing test results with other carriers of his Y-chromosome or his mother's mitochondrial DNA. However, there are no known yDNA or mtDNA test-takers in his direct paternal or maternal line. It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Jacob:

Email from Kirk Thompson on Jan 24, 2021: " I've been investigating for months and cannot find evidence of a Jacob Sr (senior) father of our relative Jacob Brown b. 1746 (per an article in Chipstone) or 1750 d. Dec. 1801. His eldest son William is through whom I descend. Jacob owned a property called "Carpenters Hall," now 480 Sylmar Road, NE of Rising Sun, MD.

Both Jacob Sr & Jacob Jr are listed on George Churchman's land patents published in Dec. 1789 of Nottingham Lots No. 10 & 11. No. 130 was called "Carpenters Hall" and belonged to Jacob Jr. and No. 169 was Jacob Sr's, named "Chippenham."

Will you share with me where you verified the birth date for Jacob - 1750 please and parents' names."

Hello, Steve. This Jacob Brown is not a relative of mine, although I see I do have a 13-degree connection to him through ancestors other than my Brown line. All I know about him comes from the tree of a cousin. We had done extensive study of Quaker Nottingham Browns, and I think my cousin researched him only to show he wasn't part of the family we were most interested in. I know nothing of this man beyond his marriage and mention in his father's will.

Because the will is dated 1848, Jacob would have had to be born by then. Now I see that the will date is 29 September, so I think the birth should be marked as "before that date." I've added a link to the will to this profile. It is pretty easy to read. The "plantation" is not named. The only additional information I noted from a quick review just now is that "my Trusty & wellbeloved friend Joshua Brown" was appointed co-executor along with "my Loving & well beloved wife Phebe." The will's witnesses were listed as Richd Francis, Richd Stedman, and Jacob Brown, but on November 12 witnesses appearing to affirm that they had seen William sign the will were listed as Richard Stedman and James Brown.

The estate file on Ancestry also includes the estate accounting and inventory, which you can find by paging forward from the will. Many other people are named in the transactions. The inventory appears to be very thorough, listing everything from "a pair of Sheep Shears" to "a big Wheell" to "6 Acres of Corn," but offhand I don't see mention of the plantation in the inventory.

I have added information that shows Jacob is the son of a William Brown who was married to Phebe. He should be detached from the currently shown father.

Update: That has been done. Thank you.
