Research Notes

(Dave Baker-19742)

On the basis that both parents were born in the USA and that all his siblings and half-siblings were also born in the USA together with the absence (to the extent of my research powers) of any birth/baptism of William Beverley Brown in Heage, Derbyshire or elsewhere in the UK, I have adjusted the Profile to correspond with the best match I can find: https://www.geni.com/people/William/6000000105113850921

Research Notes

13 Feb 2022
This William Beverly Brown (Brown-52316) is linked as a son of Richard Brown (Brown-45944) d. c. 1773, Brunswick Co., VA, and Anne (Colwell) Brown (Colwell-541).
Richard Brown of Brunswick Co., VA, wasn’t married to Anne (Colwell) Brown. There are research notes on his profile about his wife.
Richard Brown wrote his will c. 16 Feb 1773, Brunswick Co., VA, and names two separate sons - William Brown (who lived in Prince George Co., VA, according to Brunswick Co., VA, deed records) and Beverly Brown (d. 1791, Brunswick Co., VA).
I’ve unlinked this William Beverly Brown (d. 1791, Greene Co., GA) as a son of Richard Brown of Brunswick Co., VA.
