I am trying to learn all that I can about my Great-Great-Great-Great Grandparents Daniel and Polly Brown. As you can see in the following outline, there is still a lot that I do not know. In order to protect privacy, only dates older than 70 years are shown. If you have any additional information, I would very much like to hear from you. Please fill out the family group sheet and send it to me. I would appreciate any information that you can give.
