      Estimate John born in early 1700's or late 1600's; then son, Richard who married Frances Sexton would have been born about 1725. Sarah, d/o Richard and Frances Sexton Brown would then have a daughter, Sarah about 1760. The Reynolds and Browns around this line are excellent breadcrumbs to support this theory, as several members of a couple of generations intermarry. [mfe]
