Brown and Fannin, Cutler town, Hopewell and Galum cemeteries

I'm looking for any information and relationships of the Brown and Fannin families in Perry County. My Brown relationships are complex since my grandfather descends from James and Martha Brown by two sons, and there was more than one Brown-Fannin and Brown-Brown marriage.

Families of interest are:
James BROWN (1763-1853) and Martha STORMONT (1173-1845)
13 children

William BROWN (1795-1855) and Mary NISBET (Nesbet, etc) (1793-1875)
I only know Jennett below as a child.

Andrew B BROWN (1813-1854) and Margaret BROWN (1815-1869)
7 children

John BROWN and Jennett B. BROWN, parents of Margaret above

Elijah Jackson FANNIN (b. abt 1823) and Jennett A. BROWN (1827-1888)
9 children

William Henry BROWN (1850-1929) and Martha Ann FANNIN (1854-1913)
13 children

William STORMONT and Ann McCLURE (Martha's parents)

You can see why I'm confused....
I collect co-lateral lines, as they can provide clues, so any descent info is welcome.
Since the Browns are so numerous, and there are numerous Andrews, Johns, Marthas and Jennetts, it is very confusing. This is especially true for census information, as I don't know which John or Andrew is which. That's why I appreciate my great grandfather William Henry Brown, because middle names were almost always given with first names.

If anyone can help make sense of how the Browns in the cemeteries and those in the census records relate to each, I'd be grateful. I also don't know James Brown's (b. 1763) parentage. He is both my 3G and 4G grandfather.

Thanks
