Hello! I have [https://www.geni.com/documents/view?doc_id=6000000206587193821 this source document] that has been quite helpful to me in learning about some members of my family from early United States history. However, there are a few words on the document that I am not able to decipher from the cursive handwriting, and I was hoping to get an extra pair of eyes from anyone who thinks they can read the words.

'''[https://media.geni.com/p14/9f/29/52/db/5344486605fd8c04/red_underli... I have added a red-underlined version of the document here]''' with numbers indicating exactly which words I cannot read. Any help on understanding this text is appreciated!

The difficult words:
1. The location of Thomas Reeves Brown's marriage
2. The date of William Hawyard Brown's marriage
3. The date of Clayton Brown's birth
4. The name of Clayton Brown's wife
5. The date of Clayton Brown's wife's birth
6. The surname of Samuel Brown's wife
7. The location of Samuel Brown's wife's birth (maybe "Bucks County, Pennsylvania??)
8. The first name of the father of John Brown

Just checking in whether anyone can help me with this :)

Anyone able to help me read any of this? I'm still baffled by a bit of this info.
