Ownership of the land is traced back to 1793 when Thomas Williams purchased it from Thomas Jackson. Williams died that same year leaving a widow Elizabeth, three sons and one daughter, Nancy, who married William Brown (her first of our husbands). Upon the death of her three brothers, who died without issue, she became the sole heir by 1818.
Her son Cyrus Williams sold this parcel to Richard K. Moore in 1855, who sold it to William D. Bray in 1886, whose descendants still own the land to this day (2014).
On Oct 7, 2014 a stone for William Brown was installed and dedicated at a ceremony conducted by the Virginia Society of the War of 1812 in Virginia and the Virginia State Society of US Daughters 1812, with members of the Brown family attendance.
