I have very limited information about this name, but I hope it's enough to ring some bells.

I have a Mary C. BROWNAWELL who married a John MORTON. Together they had four children. Matilda Maud Morton (my great-grandmother), Martha Morton, Lilly Morton and David Morton

I also have a Mary BROWNAWELL who married Milton ADAMS.

My grandmother says that both Mary's are cousins. I highly doubt they are the same woman, and a kinship sounds reasonable.

If any of this information sounds familiar to anyone, please let me know.
