Sorry! They are not my people so I do not know. They do sound like they belong to one family by their interaction at bap. and the names that they name their children. The English had a habit of naming children in the same order all the time. i.e first son after father's father then mother's father and then father. The girls were named in the same way. So if a child is named after a mother or father then you can count on two other children named after grandfathers--unless of course the father has the same name as grandfather. I believe the original Bown was William by the names. Good Luck! Julie
