3.04.01 Alternative Version of John Brownson, Jr. (1602-1680) and the Fourth Generation
Harriet Bronson Sibley in Bronson Lineage, 1636-1917 (Dallas, OR: Self-published, 1917), p. 8, offers a version of the fourth generation that overlaps with but also differs from the Ray and Jean Brunson version.

Jacob Bronson (1641-1708) married Mary.
