In 1768, his brother, Bartlett Brown and family removed to Orangeburg District, SC, and the next year William Brown and his family moved there also. This part of Orangeburg District where they settled, was later made into Barnwell District, now Barnwell County.

Two of William Brown's sons, Tarlton and Barlett, were Revolutionary soldiers, also at least four of his sons-in-law.
