Ellison....Thanks so much for your information.While I have done no true INDEPENDENT research on this, it appears that the Sally Asbury who was supposedly Spilsby Daniel's wife was a granddaughter of the Benjamin Asbury who had married Frances Brown, a daughter of Thomas Brown "I" and Elizabeth Thornton.That Frances Brown was a sister of Thomas Brown "II" (born 1704/1705) and his wife Elizabeth Read (who was supposedly a descendant of a Richard Coleman).
Thomas Brown "II" and Elizabeth Read (her father was named Coleman Read) had a son who was named Coleman Brown, and it APPEARS from "conventional research," combined with DNA testing on living male Brown descendants, that he was the Coleman Brown who was in Laurens Co., SC by the 1770s/1780s.That Coleman Brown seems to have had a son and a grandson (or at least close relatives) who were both named Spilsby Brown (the younger one was actually named Spilsby C. Brown).
By the way, though my mother was born a Miss Brown, DNA testing had proven that her father's family was actually a "blood Smith family" versus a "blood Brown family."My maternal gg-grandfather was named SMITH W. Brown (born about 1817), and he was apparently a "Smith infant" who was taken-in, named and reared by John and Mary (Bennett) Brown of Middlesex Co., VA.My "biological maternal Smith family" included the Clara Smith (daughter of a John and Ann (Smith) Smith, and a sister of Major Maurice Smith who married the widow Mrs. Catherine (Carter) Jones) who married Garrett Daniel....and Clara and Garrett had a daughter who was named Anna Daniel.Anna Daniel lived in the home of Major Maurice Smith for a while as a young girl/teenager....and Anna's mother Mrs. Clara (Smith) Daniel married second to a George Blakey.Do you know who this Anna Daniel married?Was it a Mr. Thilman of Carolina Co., VA, by chance?Do you know why GARRETT Daniel had his given name?A Henry Garrett was closely associated with the above Smith family.Thanks.
