Source: Will
Written: April 1, 1718
Recorded: 1718

From North Carolina State archives online, Secretary of State Record Group, 
Records of Probate: Wills, Box 4.

[Note: the archives record for this will does not specify a county and the will 
itself is extremely hard to decipher.  Both Mitchells's "North Carolina Wills: 
A Testator Index" and Grimes's "Abstract of North Carolina Wills" give the 
county as Chowan.  Grimes's abstract of this will doesn't mention two of 
Thomas's sons, William and Edward, but their names are definitely included in 
the will] 

Written: 1 Apr 1718
Proved: 21 Oct 1718
Witnesses: Judeth and Thomas Perry



Wife: Christian

Sons: Thomas, Edward, William, Howell, James and John Brown

Daughter: Sarah Mackdaniel (or MacDonel, per Grimes)




Additional Comments:
Thomas's son, Edward Brown, was the founder of the Great Cohary Baptist Church in 
what is now Sampson County.  Edward died in Duplin County in 1783.
