Alexander BROWN
Mary TYLER

NOTICE: several patrilineal descendants of our subject are participating in the BROWN Y-DNA Study where they are members of Group 64. They are also members of the Haplogroup R-U198 Project, in which they are grouped with "Superfamily A," along with several other families, including a ROSE family. The Group 64 BROWNs have also been included in the Group K1 ROSEs of the Rose Family Association ROSE DNA Project. I do not believe the Group 64 BROWNs belong in the Group K1 ROSEs, and I give my reasons on this results page and on this STR cladogram.

Husband: Alexander BROWN
Birth: ca. 1740 (no later than 1750)
Death: 1791, Browns Mill, Luzerne Co., PA
Y-DNA Haplogroup: R-1b1b-2a1a-1, a.k.a., R-U198

Marriage:

Wife: Mary TYLER

Children:

A source at WorldConnect shows the children born in Mercer Co., PA, but Mercer Co. was not formed until 1800; also, Mercer Co. is on the western edge of Pennsylvania. Lancaster Co. is in southeastern PA and Luzerne Co. is in northeastern PA. An eastward migration from Mercer to Lancaster or Luzerne Co. would be very unusual.

2. Sarah BROWN, b. Feb 1780; m. Gideon UNDERWOOD

6. John BROWN, b. 1787
0. William BROWN, b. 1789
7. James BROWN, b. 12 Sep 1791, Lancaster Co., PA; d. 29 Jun 1861, Eatonville, Wyoming Co., PA; m1. Martha Amelia RYDER (1796-1837); m2. Mary __?__ (1800-1850); m3. Susannah INGHAM

The source at WorldConnect supplying dates for the children gives William I a birthyear of 1789. This date is impossible because William II, son of William I, was born 1795-97. So, how far off are the other birthyears?
