Well, Wanda, I printed your message out last night as didn't want to
give you a quick response as there are a couple of coincidences in the
names. It is all so confusing :-) Anyway, there may be a possibility
ever so remote; however, I'll give you a little information that has me
wondering:

My gr grandfather, Lemuel Brown was born 1815 in Berkshire County, New
York. His mother was Polly Jenison (Jennison) and her parents were
Adijah Jenison and Mary Robinson. I don't have any further information
about Polly Jenison. Do you have any thing further on Ursula's Uncles?
