I too have ancestors from North Carolina by the name of John Brown.
John Adam Brown, Sr. born about 1760 Orange/Guilford County, NC.
John Adam Brown, Jr. born about 1803/1804 Guilford County, NC.
Both went by their middle name of Adam, NOT their first name.
Look at German naming Rules.
Many times all sons would go by their middle names.

They migrated to Preble County, Harrison Township, Ohio before 1820.
In 1833, John Adam Brown, Jr. moved to southern Cook County, IL.
