Simeon and Robert Brand appear in the 1782 census of West Greenwich. According to the census they are both older than 50 years of age. Simeon has 2 males under 16 and a female slightly less than 50 years of age. Robert has one female under 16, one male under 16 and a female 50 years or older. Land records indicate Simeon and Phebe Brand sold land to his father, Robert Brand, in 1778 in West Greenwich. I am wondering if or how they connect to the Westerly Brand family. I would like to communicate with anyone who is researching these families.
