Ive just found a discrepency - you said James and William were sons of Thomas Browning and Mary Cheeseman, but I'm not sure they were.
Your James was born in 1775 but mine was born about 1802, also the original William (senior) was born 1800, at which point Thomas and Mary would have been in their late sixties.
The original poster claims that William (Snr) is the son of Thomas and Mary's son Thomas (b. 1770) and his wife Martha, and that he's an only child. Could it be possible that a) he wasn't an only child and b) you might have confused Thomas and Mary's children with Thomas and Martha's?
