    'John Brownson or Brunson, ... son ... of John Brownson, probably by wife Frances Hills, was born either at Hartford or at Farmington, Conn., about 1643. ... his age being 14 about Jan. 1657, meaning Jan. 1657/8 [NEHGR, 11:325]. He died in what was then Craven County, South Carolina, between 11 Jan. 1711/12 and 28 Apr. 1712.'

    The article describes the confusion between this John Brunson and his cousin John Brunson, son of Richard Brunson, starting 'as early as 1852, when Hinman ... averred that John son of John moved from Farmington to Waterbury, while John son of Richard settled in South Carolina.' In 1961, 'Jacobus ... advised the contributor that he had come to believe the identities of the two Johns of the second generation had been reversed.' The article goes on to explain how the proof that the John who moved to South Carolina was the son of John Brownson/Brunson: 'lies in a group of conveyances in the Farmington Land Records, 6:206-208 and 7:190, printed in abstract form in TAG, 11:111-113.'

    The author presents additional evidence discovered by researchers Ray and Jean Brunson to support the identification of John Brunson, son of John and Frances (Hills) Brownson as the John Brunson who married Hannah Scott and moved to South Carolina.
