Wayne, IN) "Memoranda of journey of William Brown and Thomas Shepherd--Shepherdstown to Wheeling: On Apr. the 18th, 1786, Wm. Brown and Thomas Shepherd set out for Wheeling. Route out: Opequon, Cauffmans, Boyd's Ferry, Kings, Griers, the Mountains and Thos. Wills (places spent the night) Returning: Catfish (Washington, PA), Chrisians Gap, Monongahela, Levi Springers (Uniontown, PA), Mountains, Griers, Wm. Grays, Springs (Berkeley Springs, W. Va.) and Shepherdstown." "In relation to the road taken by Thomas Shepherd and William Brown in 1786 when they visited the region west of the Alleghany Mountains, where John Grove and his wife Mary Brown Grove had settled,..."( letter M.M. Hopwood, Apr. 19, 1907) It is unknown if this is William Brown, Mary's father or brother. The Thomas Shepherd would probably be her uncle.
