Daniel Brown “I” remained in Essex Co., VA, and he and his wife Jane Copeland had four known daughters and three known sons. The three sons were: Abraham Brown (married Mary Tribble), Henry Brown “I” (married Keziah Jones) and Francis Brown “III” (married Katarin Unknown). The male and female children and grandchildren of Daniel Brown “I” and Jane Copeland married into various families in Virginia, and those surnames included Rutherford, Boughan, Brooke, Bagwell, Edmondson, Croxton, Lewis and Caston. Abraham Brown and Mary Tribble moved to the same area in Spotsylvania/Orange/Culpeper Co., VA in 1723 as did Abraham’s relative Daniel Brown “II,” but Abraham later moved again to Caroline Co., VA, where he died around 1735. The “Abraham Brown branch” APPEARS to have been the only “branch” of this overall family that moved to Caroline Co., VA. Abraham and Mary (Tribble) Brown had at least two sons (Daniel and John), and their son named John Brown married his cousin Elizabeth Brown of Orange/Culpeper Co., VA. That Elizabeth Brown was a daughter of Daniel Brown “II” and Elizabeth Coleman. There is at least one male Brown DNA donor in “Group 10” who almost certainly “traces back” to this John and Elizabeth (Brown) Brown.
Henry Brown “I” (left his will in Essex Co., VA in 1733/1734) and his wife Keziah Jones had a son who was named Henry Brown “II,” and Henry “II” left Essex Co., VA in the early-1760s and moved to the Lunenburg/Mecklenburg Co., VA area. A son of Henry “II” named Henry Brown “III,” however, stayed behind in Essex Co., VA on the “family land,” until he moved to King and Queen Co., VA by the late-1760s. Another son of Henry Brown “I” and Keziah Jones of Essex Co., VA named Mordecai Brown was in Culpeper Co., VA with some of his relatives for a while, but he appears to have also spent some time in North Carolina (he was possibly the Mordecai Brown who was in Bute Co., NC in 1768). An apparent son of Henry “III” named Henry Brown “IV” (married Frances Gipson/Gibson) left Virginia and moved to the Mercer Co., KY area, as did his brother Charles Brown. The most recent “DNA match” to “Group 10” has ancestors who were in Georgia by the late-1700s. That “branch” of the overall family APPEARS to “trace back” to a William Brown who was in Wilkes Co., NC by the 1760s or so, and who was associated with some members of the Tribble family there. Research continues on this, but that William Brown MAY have been another son of the above-referenced Abraham Brown in Caroline Co., VA (who had married Mary Tribble). The referenced Browns in Georgia included Meredith G. Brown, Peter Brown, Fannin Brown and John George Washington Brown. Some other members of this overall Brown family moved to TN and/or SC, including a couple of men with the unusual name of Aris Brown (both were descendants of Henry Brown “II”).
