Surname: BROWN, ROBERTS

Hi Bill, I saw your query in Knox County, TN. I think we are related - kind of.
If your Joseph Brown was born ca 1795 then I have some info. He would be the half brother to my Alyce Brown who married John Roberts.
You list Roberts on your surname list. I am desperate to find this John Roberts. He was my gr gr gr grandfather.
Let me know if you think there is a connection.
