A female descendant of the line of "P.P. Brown" was ,identified through a son's DNA, was a daughter of Annie B. Brown Cochren Willard and was classed as having being in a U5 Haplogroup. That is one thought to be among the oldest (about 40,000 yrs). A male descendent of Isaac was classed in the J-M172 Haplogroup (see article here Haplogroup J-M172 - Wikipedia ). This line of Isaac and his son P.P. Brown were notable by the use of names out of classical literature and history (see my article on an old family blog The Family Face: DO THE UNIQUE BROWN NAMES LEAVE A CLUE?).
The Brown family was often noted in photos and descriptions has having dark rich dark brown or auburn hair. Dark eyes, tall with often "olive" toned skin; this later, along with often finely chiseled cheek bones led to many legends of Native Americans in the family tree.
So far, no evidence of that has been verified. The J-M172 haplogroup, if it proves consistent across all the sons, may provide a hint because it is noted that it is a group seen more often in southern Europe, North Africa and in the Mediterranean lands of Greece and Rome. Another unique and wonderful story our DNA has to tell!
I look forward to seeing more direct male descendants add their DNA to various genealogical projects to see where the trail leads.
From the images - there is obviously a "Brown Nose" - my grandmother had it and so did my mother! I missed out, however.
