Hi Rebecca--I have a number of sources that indicate this is correct, especially that Mary Edmiston is the correct maiden name. Death records of the children are the best indication of it. I have linked some in the children and to Sarah Amanda Brown.

Brown-62670 and Brown-38593 are not ready to be merged because: I would like a bit more time to figure out the discrepancies in the birth date and the last name of the second wife. Especially since it's such a common name.
