After his brother James was killed at the massacre at Blue Licks, William returned to Virginia. William returned to Kentucky in 1790 and settled just north of Phillips Fort. Among his neighbors were Jacob and James Larue, Conrad Walters, Isom Enlow, Robert Hodgen, Conrad Kastor, Phillip Phillips and Joseph Kirkpatrick. The Filson Club has some of William Brown’s papers.
