PREFACE.
The compiler of the Brown, and the Nathaniel Babcock and Main
Genealogies, by request was persuaded to do some supplementary work ,
and this is the apology for sending out to the public my third Genealogy.
I have in the last half of this book compiled the records of Charles Browne,
whose name first appeared in Rowley, Mass., at the time of his mar-
riage, in 1647. At the instance of Alexander T. Brown, of Syracuse, N. Y.,
who said that his great-grandmother on the other side was a Brown, and
when an opportunity afforded he would like to have me look up her
records, I, after long and diligent search, found that her progenitor was
Charles Browne. Hence many of the numerous descendants follow, in
the second part of this volume.
From my past experience, I do not anticipate the sale of the third
Genealogy will compensate for all the outlay of time, labor, and money
spent in its production; but the satisfaction derived in doing the work is a
partial compensation, and that the book will commend itself to posterity
and prove useful when all who are now living have passed away is the
author's firm belief. It is difficult for the compiler to enumerate the ob-
stacles he has had to encounter in getting the annals of the Browns into
their present shape, and he must crave the indulgence of his readers for
errors and omissions, chargeable in part to imperfect reports received.
At the same time, it should be stated, there are those who have taken
hearty interest and worked right royally to have their families placed with
proper fulness and accuracy in this volume. Many of them are persons
who have come into the family by marriage, and by their faithful, pains-
taking endeavors have proved their appreciation of the name and their
desire to perpetuate its history. In pursuit of the required information
for my work in this volume, I have sent out hundreds of circulars and
letters, and have received several hundred in reply. Many cities, towns,
records, and burying-grounds have been visited and consulted; old
Bibles containing family records sought out, and their treasures of gene-
alogy rescued from oblivion; the memories of aged people have been
brought into requisition, and valuable information, which but for this
effort would have perished with the lives of those from whom it was
obtained, has been put upon the printed page to be handed down to
PREFACE
posterity. It has been passing strange that many aged people have
thought that the knowledge they had of their ancestry was all-sufficient,
forgetting that unless it was transcribed to the printed page it would
sink into oblivion. "Wouldst thou trust thy name to dumb forgetful-
ness, or to the decaying graveyard stone? Nay, rather place it on the
pages of history, in the printed book."
Nearly all the Browns have moved in the middle walks of life — not
so elevated as to be dazed by splendor, or so poor as to suffer want.
Very many, it will be seen, have been Christian ministers, and a very
large proportion connected with churches as members or church officers.
The writer sends out this volume to the public as it is, hoping those
who have the curiosity to examine its pages will do so in a spirit of candor,
and with an appreciative sense of the impossibility of putting in a form
entirely correct records which run back for a period of two hundred and
fifty years and more. Effort has been made to give all families an oppor-
tunity to be heard from and represented. Some few are not interested;
while, on the other hand, others are glad such a work is being compiled,
and have cheerfully sent records, written letters to others, and helped
to make the work of use to as many of the kin as possible. The list is
too long to mention by name all whose kindness and expressed good
wishes the author deeply appreciates and will ever hold in precious and
tender remembrance. Most hearty thanks are now tendered to my
friends and kindred whose words of encouragement from time to time
have placed me under obligations to them. After fourteen years of con-
tinuous genealogical work I lay down my pen, hoping some future his-
torian will continue this work. The free use of my genealogies to any
such is freely granted.

After the name of a parent will follow their original number in paren-
theses; by turning back, his or her number will be found with the parents.
Children that have numbers in parentheses at the end of the line will
be found with corresponding numbers carried forward with their families,
thus:
607. Mary Ann Brown, b. Aug. 28, 1863 (617-627).
Mary Ann Brown (607), b., Stonington, 111., Aug. 28, 1863; m., Stoning-
ton, Mar. 21, 1883, James Riley Anderson.
Children: Eleven.
617. Ralph Brown Anderson, b., etc.
After the name of a parent the head of a family, often, will follow in
brackets the name of the ancestors in genealogical order.
The name of the first child of a family of children is given in full, but
the family name of all the others is omitted.
Let us gather up the traditions that still exist; let us show the world that,
if we are not called to follow the example of our fathers, we are not at least
insensible to the worth of their characters; not indifferent to the sacrifices ami
trials by which they purchased our prosperity.
— Edward Everett.
INTRODUCTION.
It is with a pleasant feeling of accomplishment that I write this in-
troduction to my third volume of genealogical work. It is justified by
the success with which my previous genealogies have been received. I
have been favored with that leisure which has blessed the decline of my
life in writing Family History, which connects family with family, from
the least to the greatest, as if the hand of direction was again upon the
curtain to give old scenes new lights.
The first section contains records of Nicholas Browne and his son
Thomas, who settled in Lynn, Mass., in 1630. I take as the basis of this
genealogy, as in my Brown Book, the three sons of Thomas Brown and
Mary Newhall; viz., Thomas, John, and Eleazer Brown, who came to
Stonington, Conn., about 1680, taking fifty-three numbers in regular
order as given in my first volume. A large number of new families have
been found and connected to the parent tree, giving impetus to this
second effort by the urgent request of many relatives.
The second section takes up Charles Browne and his descendants, who
settled in Rowley, Mass., in 1647, and who doubtless came with the
early pioneers from 1630 to 1635. In this second section I am indebted
to the Spicer Genealogy for the origin of this family, and to Miss Ellen L.
Brown, of Greenfield, Mass., who has labored untiringly to bring forth
her ancestry; otherwise many of these now a long time passed on would
have been unhonored and unsung.
One of the most useful faculties of the mind is memory; and history
enables us to treasure up the memories of those who have lived before
us. What a painful want should we suffer were the history of our fathers
a blank, and we could know no more of them than of the aborigines!
Our existence might indeed be regarded as incomplete if we could not
command the record of past time, as well as enjoy the present, and hope
for the happiness of the future. When you see the names of your ances-
tors on the printed page it is hoped you will be aroused to know more
of them.
In the gathering of material here sheathed and bound there has been
much brought out from the by-ways of life unknown to many members of
these families, and thought worth while to give publication. My effort
has been throughout this research to bind the branches to the parent
7
INTRODUCTION
tree, and where a family appeared that could not be so connected it was
rejected. The work is not complete, and it could be continued through
a long lifetime and then be incomplete; but I pass it on to succeeding
generations. There were many Browns among the earlier generations of
whom nothing more will be known, save name and birth at a certain
date. This volume is intended to form a connected whole with the vol-
ume published in 1907.
I cannot let this opportunity pass without expressing my sincere
obligations to all those who have in any way contributed information
which has aided me again to bring a new edition of my work before the
public. Yet there are hundreds that have wrought royally that I cannot
mention. First, this publication was made possible by the generous
assistance of Alexander T. Brown, of Syracuse, N. Y., and Dr. Charles
W. Brown, Washington, D. C, who sent me the data of his great-grand-
father, Thomas Brown (47), of eight hundred names. Abel Prentice
Brown, of Amherst, Mass., sent me the connecting link to Samuel
Brown (52) in the same family. There are scores that have given their
assistance to make this compilation a success, many of whom will find
credit under their name and record.
Having a natural love for this work to commemorate the acts and
deeds of the fathers and mothers long passed away, this supplementary
work is compiled as a monument to their memory. "Truth is of far greater
importance to life than art can ever be."
A genealogist can never be successful "who be af eared of hard work" —
"neither should he have a lying tongue or a bad memory."
Covet nothing that is your neighbor's except his kindness of heart
and gentleness of manners. — Henry van Dyke.
Note. — The compiler spent much valuable time in research to establish whether
Nicholas Browne was the father of Thomas Browne, of Lynn. He found much about
Nicholas Browne, and had written it out in full, only finally to come to the conclusion
that he was not the father of Thomas. Other historians of recent date are of the same
opinion; although I had so stated in my first volume, which I here positively contradict.
At a good deal of trouble and expense I got a copy of the will of Nicholas Browne
(which is kept in East Cambridge, Mass.) to publish here, and found that Thomas
Browne was not mentioned, while his children by his wife Elizabeth were all particu-
larly mentioned. Thomas is not referred to in any probate of Nicholas; nor can I as
yet get any note referring to any gift from Nicholas of rights in Lynn.
Mary, the wife of Thomas Browne in 1701 [record vol. IV, p. 93], was alive, in
Stonington, when she, with her son Thomas, Jr. (2), sold rights to his brother Daniel.
Thomas was of the right age to be a son of Nicholas, but the proof is lacking that
he had any link to Thomas Browne referred to as dish-turner and constable of Lynn.

1628-1915
The Brown Genealogy.
Thomas Browne, b. about 1628; m. Mary Newhall, b. June, 1637;
dau. of Thomas Newhall, of Lynn. He continued in Lynn, which was
one of the earliest towns planted in Massachusetts. Plymouth was
planted in 1620. The settlement of Lynn was begun in 1629; it then had
five families, and by them in this wilderness the soil was first stirred by
the white man; there, surrounded by Indians, they laid the foundation
of the town. These settlers are supposed to have come from Salem, and
their number was greatly augmented in 1630, at the time of the arrival
of Winthrop and his company. The great body of fifty persons, with
their families, who came to Lynn this year settled in all parts of the town,
selecting the most eligible portions, and each occupying from ten to two
hundred acres; some occupied more. They were principally farmers and
possessed a large stock of horned cattle, sheep, and goats. For several
years, before the land was divided and the fields fenced, the cattle were
fed in one drove, and guarded by a man who, from his employment,
was called a hayward. The sheep, goats, and swine were kept on Nahant,
where they were tended by a shepherd. A fence of rails, put near to-
gether, was made across the beach near Nahant, to keep out the wolves,
as those animals do not climb. When the people were building this fence
Captain Turner said, "Let us make haste, lest the country should take
it from us." [Deposition in Salem Court Records, April 22, 1657.]
The people of Lynn, for some years, appear to have lived in the most
perfect democracy. They had town meetings every three months, for
the regulation of their public affairs. Later on, by Eaton, is found this
record: "Nicholas Browne, Edward Taylor and others were fined 6d.
each for being late at town meeting." They cut their wood in common,
and drew lots for the grass in the meadows and marshes. There are hun-
dreds of acres of marshlands, and these proved very serviceable to the
farmers, by furnishing them with sustenance for their cattle, which was
probably the reason why there were more farmers in Lynn than in any
other of the early settlements. Mr. Johnson says, "The chiefest corn
they planted, before they had plows, was Indian grain, — and let no man
make a jest at Pumkins, for with this food the Lord was pleased to feed
his people to their good content, till Corne and Cattell were increased."
1 1
THE BROWN GENEALOGY
Their corn at the first was pounded, after the manner of the Indians,
with a pestle of wood or stone, in a mortar made either of wood or stone,
or a log hollowed out at one end. They raised a considerable quantity of
flax.
Their first houses were rude structures, covered with thatch. A com-
mon form of the early cottages was eighteen feet square, with seven-foot
posts, and the roof steep enough to form a sleeping-chamber. The better
houses were built with two stories in front, sloping down to one in the
rear. The frames were of heavy oak timber, showing the posts and beams
inside. Burnt clam shells were used for lime, and the walls were white-
washed. The fireplaces were made of rough stones, and the chimneys of
boards, plastered inside with clay. The fireplaces were large enough to
admit a four-foot log, and the children might sit in the corners and look
up at the stars. On whichever side of the road the houses were placed,
they uniformly faced the south, that the sun at noon might " shine square. ' '
Thus each house formed a domestic sun-dial, by which the good matron,
in the absence of a clock, could tell in fair weather when to call her
husband and sons from the field. — Lewis, "History of Lynn," pp. 6g
and 70.
As before stated, Thomas Browne remained in Lynn, and married
Mary Newhall.
The Newhall family was prominent among the early settlers of Lynn,
and came with Winthrop and company in 1630.
Thomas Newhall, who came from England and landed at Salem with
his brother Anthony, settled in Lynn soon after. Thomas was a farmer
and owned all the lands on the eastern side of Federal Street, as far north
as Marion. His house stood on the east side of the former street, south
of where the brook crosses. In the division of lands in Lynn in 1630 he
received thirty acres. His was one of the fifty families in Lynn in 1630,
there being but five in 1629.
Thomas Newhall is known to have had the following children:
I. Susannah Newhall, b., England, about 1624; m. Richard
Haven and had twelve children. Several of his sons were
among the first settlers in Framingham, Mass.
Note. — A great family gathering of the descendants of this Lynn settler was held
in Framingham, a number of years since, at which some fifteen hundred were present.
Many eminent persons appear in the family line.
II. John Newhall, b. England; m. (1) Elizabeth Laighton; m. (2)
Sarah Flanders.

THE BROWN GENEALOGY
III. Thomas Newhall, b. about 1630. The most notable circum-
stance regarding this individual is that he was the first white
child born in Lynn. He m., Dec. 29, 1652, at the age of
twenty-two, Elizabeth Potter. There were ten children.
Thomas Newhall d. Mar., 1687, his wife having d. a
few weeks before. She was buried Feb. 22, 1687. For many
years the Newhall family were very numerous in Lynn and
elsewhere, and are even at the present time. Thomas
Newhall, aged fifty- seven, the first white person born in
Lynn, was buried in the old burying-ground, near the west
end of Lynn Common, Apr. 1, 1687.
IV. Mary Newhall, b. about 1637; m. Thomas Browne, b. about
1628. He d. Aug. 28, 1683. Her name first appears in records
as wife of Thomas Browne in 1658. His widow, Mary, was
appointed administratrix, Oct. 9, 1683, on the same day
the non-cupative will of Thomas Browne was taken down
[on file in the office of the Register of Probate in Salem].
He names his eldest son, Thomas, and his sons Joseph,
John, Daniel, and Ebenezer, and dau. Mary, who m.
Thomas Norwood.
In this connection is given the will of Thomas Newhall, Sr., who m.
Mary . She d. Sept. 25, 1665. He lived until May 25, 1674.
The Last Will and Testament of Thomas Newhall, signed 1st April,
1668, was received in court 30 , 4m, 1674. Some of his bequests are as
follows:
"I bequeath my twelve acres of salt marsh to my son Thomas Newhall
and my son John Newhall, the six acres that my son Tho: shall have, is
three acres in Runney Marsh nere the Hand, and the rest is a pcell lying
in the Town marsh caled Gaines his neck and another pcell lying in the
Towne marsh adjoyning to my brother ffarington. [They seldom used
the capital F, using instead two small f's.] And the six acres that my
son John shall have lyeth in the last devission in Runney marsh but
if my son John should have noe child before he dieth then the six
Acres I give to my son John, to returne to my son Thomas and his heires
forever but if my son John should have a child or children, then the said
six acres to be at his owne dispose forever.
"I bequeath to my son Richard Hauen his children twenty pounds to
be equally devided amongst them, namely betweene Joseph Hauen
[spelled also Haven], Richard Hauen, Sarah Hauen, Nathaniel Hauen

and Moses this not to be pd till they come to the age of twenty one
yeares :
"I bequeath to my son Thomas Brownes his children twenty pounds,
equally to be devided betwene them and the sixteene pounds which he
hath already of mine in his hands is to be pt of his twenty pounds I give
to his children.
"I bequeath to my two daughters, Suana Hauen and Mary Browne
each of them a pr of sheets and each of them two pillow beers.
" Alsoe I constitut and make my lawfull and sole executor and to pform

But as the document was executed just before his death, it is reason-
able to conclude that infirmity, rather than ignorance, was the occasion
of his signing in that suspicious manner. A facsimile of his signature is
preserved in the records of Lynn.
His estate appraized 25 , 4m0, '74, by Oliver Purchas and Robert
Burges, and amounted to £173, 01s, o7§d.
' 'T is good sometimes to travel back
To days of ' auld lang syne; '
Retrace the ancient fathers' track
Along the mossy line;
Visit the old ancestral homes,
Our parents' virtues learn,
And round their monumental stones
Let veneration burn ;
Review the trials that they bore
In old, primeval years,
To gain this fair and goodly shore,
Mid toil and want and fears;
Observe their efforts here to raise
The standard of the Cross,
Where they might preach and pray and praise,
No prelates to oppress.
And how, in after-times, they grew
The tree of liberty,
And from its topmost branches threw
The flag of victory;
That same bright flag, whose starry fold
Their loyal sons admire.
And, spite of traitors, will uphold
With sword and blood and fire."

THE BROWN GENEALOGY
In this Genealogy, as in my former treatises, I have taken up the three
sons of Thomas Brown, Sr., and Mary Newhall, his wife; viz., Thomas,
Jr. (2), John (8), and Eleazer Brown (11), who came to Stonington,
Conn., where they purchased large tracts of land and made themselves
permanent homes, where they had large families. Most of this tract of
land is within the limits of the present town of No. Stonington, bounded
as follows: the western boundary was nearly all on Ossekonk Swamp; the
northern boundary extended from the Ossekonk Brook on the west to
Shunock River, and still east of said river, for Eleazer (11) built his
house half a mile from the river, and this easterly part of their possessions
is where is found the most productive land. Their northern boundary
joined the lands of the late Stephen Avery and lands of the Main family,
to lands of the Randall family; easterly on the Randall land to the Rich-
ardson's possessions; on the south by the Palmer family land and Miner
territory; and on the west by the Wheeler family land up to the said
Ossekonk Swamp. The Main family mentioned was Ezekiel Main, who
came from Scituate, Mass., in 1669 and took up large tracts of land as
described in my treatises in my Main Genealogy.
On the above tract of land described is one of the oldest burying-
grounds in the town, on the south of the cedar swamp from which this
burying-ground takes its name. Long before the Providence and New
London turnpike was built a road passed by this ancient burying-place,
but after the turnpike was constructed this road was discontinued,
making it one of the most secluded places that can be found on the
whole tract of land to bury the dead. No interments have been made
here for many years. Here, without headstones, are interred many of
the early settlers, and without doubt two of the pioneers, — Thomas (2)
and John (8), — but no headstones mark their last resting-place. The
first marked headstones were placed in these grounds one hundred and
two years after the death of Thomas (2). They are placed at the
Ichabod Brown family. At the grave of Roswell Brown, the great-
grandfather of the compiler, are marble engraved stones; Thatcher, his
brother, also has engraved stones. Jedediah Brown and his three wives
have engraved stones; and this is all, among fifty or more graves.
Thomas Brown (22), whose house and farm were only about a mile
away, and his son Samuel, who owned the same house and lands of his
lather, doubtless are buried here. Abel Prentice Brown, of Amherst,
Mass., now living, harks back to Samuel as his great-grandfather. The
remains of many have been removed to Union Cemetery, and to Elm
Grove Cemetery, Mystic, Conn.

THOMAS BROWN (2), son of Thomas Brown and Mary Newhall,
of Lynn; b., Lynn, about Jan. 1, 1654; d., Stonington, Conn., Dec. 27,
1723; interred at the Cedar Swamp Burying-ground, and probably was
among the first buried there. The grave is unmarked. He m., Feb. 8,
1677, Hannah Collins, of Lynn; dau. of John Collins, of Lynn. He built
his house about forty rods west of what was afterwards known as the
"Pond Place" house on the Anguilla Road, and about thirty rods west
of this road. The cellar is filled six feet above the ground with stones,
and down the hill is a fine living spring of water, making a natural place
for a pioneer to build his house. His ten children without doubt were
born here.

purchased by the Brown brothers, about twenty-five rods south of the
Brown Cemetery, and north of the Miner Meeting-house. Headstones
were erected to their graves by the late Daniel Brown. Probably these
were the first interments in these grounds. He was a farmer and stock-
raiser. [For his will, see Appendix.] — Pendleton Genealogy, by Everett H.
Pendleton. We quote on p. 46.
Eleazer Brown and his wife made their home in Westerly, and later in
Stonington, in the part of that township which was afterward set off to
form No. Stonington. In the division of her father's property Ann re-
ceived his house, as appears in the following agreement of the heirs:

The following Deed of Land, purchased by Thomas Browne, Jr. (2),
joined his home land on the south. He may have deeded it to his son
Thomas (22), as he deeded another tract of land, east, to his son Daniel
(24), which was "witnessed and signed and sealed the twenty-fifth of
January, One Thousand Seven Hundred twenty one-two, in ye Seventh
year of his Majestie's Reign — George King of Great Britain. ' ' At any
rate, on this newly acquired land Thomas Brown (22) built his house,
and his successor was his son Samuel (52), and here were born his chil-
dren. Samuel Brown in this connection follows, and he gives to his
youngest son, Prentice Brown, by will, this same homestead. From
Prentice this estate came to his adopted dau., who m. Cogswell T.

descent. It is now [1914] owned by the heirs of the late Hermon C.
Brown. The house itself, doubtless built by Thomas Bfown (22), which
has been the home for succeeding generations of those above mentioned,
has passed out of existence.

THE BROWN GENEALOGY
the early home of this family in primeval days, her father being the first
to stir the soil in this then wilderness of Stonington, now No. Stonington,
and awake the echoes with his axe in this primitive forest. This takes us
back to the beginners of this oldest family of the Browns in Stonington.
Mary Brown m., Stonington, Jan. 9, 1704, Thomas York, son of James
York, Jr. Wheeler's "History of Stonington" says of the York family,
p. 695:
"June 20, 1635, there embarked on board the good ship Philip, Richard
Morgan, master, forty-two passengers, who were to be transported from
England to Virginia, in America. They had been previously examined
by the minister of Gravesend as to their conformity to the orders and
discipline of the Church of England, and had taken the oath of allegiance.
"James York, Sr., was one of the passengers of the good ship Philip in
1635, rated therein at the age of 21 years, consequently he was born in
the year 1614. It is not known at what place in Virginia Capt. Morgan
landed his passengers, or whether he landed them in that colony at all.
If they were landed there, our James York did not remain there long.
He doubtless soon after his arrival in this country, came north, whether
by land or water we do not know, but the first record we have of him is
in Braintree, Mass.
"James York, Sr., came to Stonington, Conn., in the year 1660, when
this town was under the jurisdiction of Massachusetts, and called by
the name of Southertown, and settled on grants of land which then in-
cluded the present farm of Gideon P. Chesebrough, east of Anguilla, or
Wequetequock brook, also the farm of Erastus D. Miner and the Simon
Rhodes place, and there he built, him a dwelling house on the north side
of the then Indian path, — now known as the old Post road, — ■ where
he lived the remainder of his life, dying in 1683, aged sixty-nine years.
His widow died in 1685.
"James York, Sr., m. Joannah - -; the family name of his wife is
not known, neither the place of their marriage; but the date thereof
must have been about 1637. Two children are mentioned, Abigail, b.
about 1638-9, who m. John Beebe, of New London, and James York, Jr.
"James York, Jr., b. June 14, 1648. He doubtless came to Stonington,
Conn., with his father, when under age, for his name is mentioned in the
town records several times before the date 1672, when Savage says, 'He
sold his estate in Boston, Mass., where he was engaged in business, and
came to Stonington,' for on the Stonington town records, under date of
Jan. 15, 1667, '100 acres of land layed out to James York, Jr.,' and he
was also one of the men who received land grants for service in Indian

Wars. He was made a freeman in Connecticut in 1673, and died Oct. 26,
1676, and his widow m. for her second husband, Mar. 12, 1679, Henry-
Elliot. James York, Jr., m., Stonington, Conn., Jan. 19, 1669, Deborah
Bell, dau. of Thomas and Anna Bell. Through the wife of James York,
Jr., Deborah Bell, we get the name Bell that so frequently occurs in the
York lineage."

In 1753, Thomas Pendleton acted as executor of his father's will, and
July 6 in that year he sold his property in Westerly, and on the same
day bought from his half-brother, James Pendleton, Jr., land in Sto-
nington, Conn., for £1200. This property he sold to John Randall, Jr.,
for £888, Jan. 28, 1756, and on the same day bought of Thomas Noyes,
Jr., for £900, land at Pawcatuck. His deed disposing of his property
has not so far been found, as the early Stonington deeds are indexed
only for grantees.
Tradition says that Thomas Pendleton was a whalerman, and that on
one of his voyages to Greenland he put in at Castine, where, excited by
the beauty of the Penobscot Bay region, he determinedto settle In the
probating of Col. Joseph Pendleton 's^esteteTl 7 0 1 ,~~he received £101,
which may have been due him asme master of one of the Colonel's
vessels. At any rate, he removed to what is now Islesboro, Me., a few
years before the Revolution; and when he had established himself there,
he brought his entire family to the island, with the exception of his son
Nathaniel, who followed later.

Half an acre of land in the will of Eleazer Brown was set apart for a burying-ground .
Here, above the ashes of the long-time dead, are the tablets and monuments of many
of the descendants of Eleazer Brown (n) and Ann Pendleton, his wife; and James
Brown (38) and Elizabeth Randal, his wife, whose daughter was Thankful Brown.
The monument of Elder Simeon Brown, reminding the passer-by of his fifty years'
service and that he was founder of the Second Baptist Church, in 1765. also serves as
a reminder of the obligations which an illustrious ancestry imposes upon their de-
scendants even to remote lands and to remote generations.
Immediately after this genealogy is issued, a fund of five hundred dollars will be
raised to place this cemetery, long neglected, under perpetual care.

THE BROWN GENEALOGY
twelve others (one of whom was Joseph Elliott, who after-
ward married a half sister of Thomas) were taken prison-
ers, and marched to the camp of the Indians, tied securely
and closely guarded by their captors until the next morn-
ing; they wrere then taken to the bank of the river and
stripped of all their clothes except their shirts, and, led by
two savages each, marched in file to be tomahawked by a
squaw, whose son, a young chief, was killed at Exeter on
July i, 1778. Thomas attempted to escape, and had nearly
crossed the river when he was overtaken by the Indians,
forced to return, and was instantly speared and toma-
hawked.*
Thomas Brown (47) m. (2) Patience Brockway. She was French, and
Thomas first met her in Jamaica, when on a southern voyage. He was
ill with fever, and she took care of him until he recovered. He went to
the Wyoming Valley with the Connecticut settlers, and in 1754 received
his share of land. He returned to Connecticut, and then he moved to
Quaker Hill, Duchess County, on the border of New York State. In
1776 he again went to Pennsylvania, and settled in Wilkes-Barre. He
built a stockade on his own land as a protection against the Indians.
At the time of the Massacre he, with his family, went into Forty Fort.
Thomas followed the sea in his earlier days, and was crippled by expo-
sure and an injury to his knee, and could not join the army; but he as-
sisted in defending the fort. His son Thomas went out with the army,
and was slain, as stated above. The day after the Massacre, Patience
(Brockway) Brown was preparing to make bread, when word came to
them to leave the fort. She gathered up the dough in her apron and
carried it with her. She baked the dough in their camp fire as they jour-
neyed through the wilderness. This bread, and berries which they picked,
with the milk from a cow which they drove with them, kept the family
from starving. They had five children with them ; one, a boy about three
years old, died the second day of their journey, and they dug a place by
the side of a log and buried him, covering the grave with leaves. Joseph
Elliott, who married their daughter Patience, accompanied them.
The following narrative was related by Daniel Brown (104), who was
probably the last survivor of the Wyoming Massacre: "We moved to
the Wyoming Valley, Pa., in 1776, and lived on the river bank, about
So yards below the Market Street bridge, Wilkes Barre, Pa., and were
there at the time of the massacre. Our family then consisted of my

father, Thomas Brown, and his wife Patience (Brockway) Brown, an
older half brother, Thomas Brown 2d, two older brothers, and three
children younger than myself; and Jabez, and Joseph Elliott who came
into the valley with us and took part in all out affairs until the campaign
of General Sullivan, in which they bore a part. The family life was un-
eventful until the summer of 1778, when the invasion of the Indians and
Torys, under Walter Butler, made the valley a theater of bloody carnage
and suffering. This culminated on July 3 when all the able bodied men
and boys marched from Forty Fort to offer battle to their foes who
were encamped in the upper part- of the valley. Without an attempt to
describe the conflict it is sufficient to say that our people were overcome
and in the rout were ruthlessly overtaken and slain. Of those belonging
to the family who in the running marched to the battle and of which
this narrative treats — the two Elliotts, and Thomas Brown 2d — only
Jabez returned at night, and brought the news that Thomas was among
the slain; while Joseph his brother was among the missing, which meant
a fate worse than death — savage torture. The night after the massacre
was long to be remembered — mourning for the absent ones, mingled with
fears .that the savages would in the night sweep down upon those left
alive and thus make complete destruction throughout the valley. All
night the survivors made hasty preparations to fly as soon as the morn-
ing broke, and seek safety wherever it might be found. Jabez Elliott and
the Browns lashed two canoes near to each other, and over these made
a platform large enough to carry the children and the mother, while
father prepared to lead his three horses down the river shore to
Catawissa, their destination. Just as they were about to start Joseph
Elliott came in sight in a very sad condition; his only garment was a
shirt and his body was all covered with blood. We did not have time to
hear his story, but at once placed him on the float and made him as com-
fortable as we could and started clown the river. We arrived at Cata-
wissa the next day, and then went by Fort Allen to Strouds. On our
return from Strouds we came nearly in the route afterwards located as
the Eastern and Wilkes-Barre turnpike. We came to Bear Creek at
noon of a very rainy day; the creek was high and our only way to cross
it was to fell a tree tall enough to reach the other side — we felled several
before we succeeded, as the water would swing them down the stream.
Previous to our arrival here it had been necessary to send to Wilkes
Barre for food and fire. In the effort Jabez Elliott and the horse he rode
came near being drowned, and our bundle of spare clothes was lost.
Our condition when we got over Bear Creek was sad indeed with no relief
32 •

nearer than Wilkes Barre, to which Elliott had gone for help. The rain
continued and all were wet, chilled and hungry. The children cried and
could not be comforted. We nearly perished in that dark and dreadful
night, which I shall always remember as the time of my greatest suffer-
ing. Elliott came early in the morning, and we soon had a big fire and
our hunger was appeased. Soon starting again upon our journey we
reached Wilkes Barre at evening. The next year after Sullivan's cam-
paign we moved to Wyalusing, Pa., and settled near where I have since
lived."
Joseph Elliott's story: "After I was taken prisoner, myself and others
were taken to the camp of the Indians and tied securely, and closely
guarded by our captors until the next morning. Twelve of us were then
taken near the second bank of the river within the present town of
Wyoming; we were stripped of all our clothes except our shirts and,
led by two savages each, were marched in file to be tomahawked by a
squaw whose son, a young chief, was killed at Exeter on the ist. day of
July. This tragedy occurred on the 4th. I was next to the last in line.
Titus Hammond, the last, and I determined to escape if the least chance
offered. As we moved to our turn, I saw just before me the body of a
fallen tree over which our path led. As I came near it, I sprang forwards,
planting both feet against it, and instantly jumping backwards I tore
myself away from my guards. Hammond cleared himself at the same
moment, and we both jumped down the bank. I ran towards the river,
and Hammond turned to the right and hid in a fallen tree top. Between
the place of execution and the river rye was standing, and it was higher
than my head. It had been trailed by fugitives the day before, so I
followed one. The pursuing Indians could not follow my path for cer-
tainty on account of the other trails so I gained a few minutes and this
gave me time to get into deep water before they commenced shooting.
As soon as I could I commenced to swim under the water, only raising
my head for breath. Once when I came up a bullet hit me under my
shoulder blade disabling one arm, but I turned and swam on my back
the rest of the way using the other arm. As soon as I was over and away
from the river, I put a piece of my shirt into the bullet hole to stop the
blood. I found a loose horse and, with a piece of bark for a bridle, rode
into Wilkes Barre. I had a hard time of it with the wound for several
weeks but being tough, recovered."
Joseph Elliott and his brother joined the Rangers and went up the
river with General Sullivan. Jabez Elliott, while guarding the cattle
of the expedition, was killed by the Indians near Athens, they coming

upon him by stealth. Joseph Elliott m. (i) Patience Brown; d. without
issue; m. (2) Deborah Lewis. He d. when over ninety years of age,
leaving many descendants. He is buried at Merryall, Bradford Co., Penn.
In 1789 Thomas Brown (47) and his family went in canoes up the
Susquehanna River to what is now Wyalusing Township, and settled
there, calling the place Browntown. Most of the land there is still in
possession of his descendants, and some farms have never been trans-
ferred by deed, being willed from father to son. He was one of the first
to rest in the old cemetery at Wyalusing Village. His is said to be the
oldest marked grave in Bradford County. In August, 1910, Livingston
Manor Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution, of Washington,
D. C, placed a D. A. R. marker on his grave, the small flag being placed
on the marker by Chas. A. Brumbaugh, of Washington, he being a
great-great-grandson.
Before Patience (Brockway) Brown went into Forty Fort with her
family, the children buried outside, by a tree, a pair of steelyards, and a
mortar and pestle in which Mrs. Brown ground corn and spices. After
their return to Wilkes-Barre, these were dug up; and on the marriage of
one of the daughters, her mother presented them to her. The mortar and
pestle are now cherished possessions of a great-granddau., Charlotte Segar.

Brown was a man of great energy and hospitality. In 1792 he settled in
Wyalusing, and cleared land and built a log house; he soon had a fine
farm cleared, and a comfortable home, which was frequently used as a
resting-place by newly arrived settlers until they could build houses
for themselves. For many years his son-in-law Capt. John Mintz and
he owned the best residences in the valley. Ezekiel owned three black
slaves, — Uncle Tom and wife, and Timothy Croggins. He held his
tract of land under the Connecticut title, and after he hap! occupied it
for some time, and made improvements, a gentleman came to his house
and informed him that he, the stranger, owned that land. Mr. Brown
replied that if he owned any land there, it was seven feet below the
surface; and, casting a glance toward his rifle, added that unless he was
gone immediately he would be put in possession of it. The stranger took
the hint and left.

came from Connecticut and bought a large tract of land under the

20, 1869, by Rev. David Craft, Capt. George V. Myer, b., Monroeton,
Penn., Aug. 5, 1841. He was a civil engineer. Sept. 9, 1 861, he enlisted
for three years in Co. K, 50th Regt. Penn. Vols., recruited at Monroe;
promoted from 1st Sergeant to 2d Lieutenant, May 1, 1864; to Cap-
tain, May 1, 1865; mustered out with company, July 30, 1865. He
was taken prisoner at Battle of Wilderness, and confined in Libby
Prison; he escaped through the famous tunnel, was re-captured when
near Union lines, and taken back to Richmond. From starvation, sleep-
ing in swamps many days, and traveling nights, he was taken with fever
before reaching Richmond, and was unconscious for several weeks. When
he recovered, he found he had been cared for at a private house where
he had been taken by Masons (he being a 3 2d degree member of that
order). He was the soldier who had a small American flag secreted in
his boot when he entered Libby Prison, and on the Fourth of July he
climbed up the rafters of the old prison and pushed the little flag out
through a crack at the front peak of the building, where it was soon
discovered by the guards, and shot down. After escaping through the
tunnel he, with several others, traveled nights, and slept in swamps
during the days, and were fed by colored people. They had been out
several days when the "Yankee -hunters," — composed of men too old, and
boys too young, to go into the army,— with the aid of bloodhounds, came
upon them while they were in a swamp. They were too weak to fight off
the dogs, so they climbed trees to get out of their reach. When the men
came up, the younger ones leveled their guns to shoot; but Captain
Myer gave the hailing sign of a Mason, and one of the older men recog-
nized it and ordered them not to shoot. The dogs were called off, the
prisoners allowed to come down, and they were taken to the railroad,
where they were put in a freight-car, under guard, and started for Rich-
mond. After the war, Captain Myer was a civil engineer and pension
agent. His health was very poor up to the time of his death, because of
hardships while in the army. Mrs. Ella V. Myer m. (2), Apr. 3, 1910,

Note. — Extract from the Adjutant-General's Report of Connecticut Men of the
Revolution, p. 571.
On March, 1781, Brig-Gen. Waterbury, Jr., was appointed "Commandant of the
Battalion ordered to be raised for the defense of the Post at Horseneck and places ad-
jacent, and also all the guards raised for the defense of the seacoast from Horseneck
to New Haven inclusive." The force was composed of drafts from the militia, and
amounted to a brigade of two battalions. In July it joined Washington, while he was
encamped at Phillipsburg, and for some time after was under Heath's command on
the Winchester line.
Original roll as follows: "Capt. Charles Neil's Company is made up of men from
Preston, Norwich, New London, Colchester, Lyme, Stonington, and Groton. In this
company of 79 men is found Robert Brown, of Stonington; time joined, May 24, 1781."
Robert Brown (801) bought land in Belchertown of Thomas Willson,
Jan. n, 1795, and on this place he and his two wives are buried. He
bought land again, Apr. 17, 1795, and on this place he and his first wife,
Lydia D. Brown, died. On this last purchase there was a saw-mill. The

proof is conclusive that Robert Brown, Jr., and the other children that
follow, were born in Belchertown. [Probate Records, Northampton.]
There is a tradition that when Robert and wife Lydia D. (Brown) Brown
removed from Stonington, Conn., they went to Bridgewater, Mass.,
and from there he removed, with all his belongings in an ox-cart, to
Belchertown, where he made a permanent home.

IN MEMORIAM.
Long has she walked among us,
But here her journey ends;
She has reached the goal at last
Towards which each footstep tends;
A weary time she waited
For the messenger of light
Who should bid her soul arise
And heavenward take its flight.
There 's a message on her upturned face
Her silent lips may never tell,
As tho' she heard the angels whisper,
And we know that all is well.
That all is well ■ —
Assurance sweet for us who tarry here a space
Till we, too, shall hear the summons
To meet our Saviour face to face.
We who have still to front the world
And brave'its storm and strife,
We well might envy her her rest,
Who has entered into life.
So calm is she in dreamless sleep,
No throb disturbs her breast,
As though an angel held her hands —
How sweet, how sweet is restl
— Mrs. L. E. Strong.

The following is an extract from "History of Kansas City, Mo.":
"Stephen Northrop Dwight, who spent his last days in Kansas City,
was prominently identified with the development of the West as a repre-
sentative of financial banking and mining interests. His superior busi-
ness ability, enterprise, and ready grasp of a situation enabled him to be-
come closely associated with the establishment and successful conduct
of enterprises which proved important factors in the growth and progress
of this section of the country.
''Stephen N. Dwight spent his boyhood, and received his education, in
New Haven, Conn. His father moved to Michigan, and he began his
business career in Kalamazoo, Mich.; but study of the business situa-
tion of the country, in various sections, led him to believe that the West
offered splendid opportunities, and accordingly he made his way to
Kansas in 1874. His first location was at Independence, that State,
where he engaged in the banking business. He continued in that business
until about ten years before his death. He was connected with several
banks in Kansas, also organized, and was cashier, of the American National
Bank at Fort Smith, Ark., but not liking the climate sold his interest
and went to Leadville, where he organized the American National Bank
*33
THE BROWN GENEALOGY
and was its president. Wanting to be out of doors more he sold his in-
terest in the bank and engaged in mining for a time; he then went to Cal-
ifornia, where he stayed more than a year; but it seemed too far away
from all friends and relatives, so he returned to Kansas and became
identified with the development of the mining resources at Galena, Kan.
He bought the water-works, which he enlarged and improved in every
way. He closed out his mining interests before moving to Kansas City,
but owned and operated the water- works up to the time of his death.
One of the elements of his exceedingly successful career was the quick-
ness with which he noted an opportunity that others passed heedlessly
by, when he saw a chance.
"Mr. Dwight's political allegiance was given to the Republican Party,
and fraternally he was connected with the Masons and Knights of
Pythias. His face indicated that character, balance, harmony, and
sound judgment were among his natural traits. Quietude of deportment,
easy dignity, and a frankness and cordiality of address were among his
noticeable characteristics. He was ever ready to meet any obligation of
life with the confidence and courage that come of conscious personal
ability, right conception of things, and an habitual regard for what
was best in the exercise of human activities for profitable investment or
for the establishment of an enterprise that promised success. Forming
his plans readily, he was determined in their execution, and carried
forward to successful completion whatever he undertook. In his mental
review of the West he noted the bright outlook before Kansas City, and
showed his faith in its future by the purchase of considerable property.
Time demonstrated his wisdom in this regard in increased value of his
realty holdings. The erection of the handsome office structure known as
the Dwight Building, at the corner of Tenth St. and Baltimore Ave., is
an evidence of his foresight and faith in Kansas City's future greatness.
This magnificent building was the pioneer of its kind, and added an im-
portant step to Kansas City's realty growth that can only be estimated
by a review of the improved property conditions of that immediate lo-
cality. The success of this undertaking added a stimulus to Kansas
City's real-estate interests at a time when most needed, and stands as a
monument to his enterprise and judgment. The property is still owned
by Mrs. Dwight. Mr. Dwight was a man of domestic taste, finding his
greatest happiness at his own fireside, and a most congenial companion-
ship existed between himself and his wife.
"Mrs. Dwight was educated at Baker University, a Methodist institu-
tion, at Baldwin, Kan. She was a helpmate in every sense of the word.
i34

Daniel Brown (24), son of Thomas (2) and Hannah (Collins) Brown,
b., Stonington, Conn., Oct. 9, 1696; d. Aug. 30, 1771, in the seventy-
fifth year of his age. Interment on the Christopher Brown farm, two
miles south of Pendleton Hill. He m. (1), June 21, 1721, Mary Palmer
Breed, dau. of John and Mercy (Palmer) Breed. She d. 1744. The mar-
riage certificate says: "Married, June 21, 1721, by Rev. Hezekiah Lord,
Pastor of the Church in Preston, Conn." He m. (2), Prudence , who
d. Dec. 2, 1768, aged sixty-nine years. She had no children. In 1722 his
father, Thomas (2), deeded to his son a tract of land about one mile east
from his homestead. This was nine months after his marriage to Mary
Breed. Here Daniel and Mary built their house, the original site of
which is seen by the cut; and here, on the same spot, Nathan (1110), his
son, erected a new house.
We find that Daniel (24) removed to the north part of the town near
his son Captain Christopher (1109). He was active in church work,
living in the immediate vicinity of the First Baptist Meeting-house, in
Stonington, which was built on land given by him and Thomas Holmes.
The church was organized in 1743. Probably the first interments on the
Christopher Brown farm were his first wife, Mary (Breed) Brown, in
1744, his second wife, Prudence, in 1768, and Daniel, in 1771. Their
headstones were imported from England. This burying-ground is en-
closed by a heavy stone wall. Years ago this enclosure of the dead is
said to have been well kept; at present the grounds need attention where
these honored dead rest.
The original deed from Thomas Brown (2) to his son Daniel Brown
(24) has been preserved and handed down from generation to generation:
to his son Christopher (59), to his son Christopher, Jr. (107), to his son
Nathan W., and to his son Frank E. Brown, and is now [1914] in his
possession; also other original ancient documents, in a good state of
preservation.

other person is known who could have been the person referred to in
the acts in question. He is referred to as Captain Daniel in the records
of those families who have the tradition that he was a Quaker. No record
exists of any service in the Revolutionary War. He was the first settler
in the town of Brookfield, Madison Co., N. Y., locating there in 1791,
his house having been commenced on July 4 of that year. An account
of Capt. Daniel Brown and his family will be found in "The History of
Chenango and Madison Counties," edited by James H. Smith, and pub-
lished by D. Mason & Co., of Syracuse, 1880, and in Mrs. Hammond's

THE BROWN GENEALOGY
The Breed family will be of interest in this connection, as Daniel
Brown (24) married into the Breed family.
Allen Breed, the progenitor of the Breed family, appears first in Lynn,
Mass., in 1630. He was b. in England in 1601. The name of his wife
is unknown. He d. Mar. 17, 1692, and had five children.
Their son:
Allen Breed, b. 1626; m. Mary , and had six children.
Their son :
John Breed, b., Lynn, Jan. 18, 1663; m. (1), Apr. 28, 1686, Mary Kirt-
land, b. July 15, 1667; d. Jan. 28, 1688; dau. of Sarah. He resided in
Lynn until after the death of his wife and dau., and then removed to
Stonington, Conn. He m. (2), June 8, 1690, Mercy Palmer, b., Ston-
ington, 1668; dau. of Dea. Gershom Palmer and wife, Ann, dau. of Capt.
George Denison and wife, Ann (Borodell) Denison.
Mr. Breed purchased land of Gershom Palmer, the father of his sec-
ond wife. Gershom Palmer fixed his permanent place of abode on the
eastern slope of Taugwonk, in Stonington, locating his house on the
present site of the residence of Elias H. Miner, in Angwilla, so-called.
Here at this house were frequently held the Stonington town meetings.
A stone marked " G. P.," that was in the chimney, was preserved by Mr.
Miner when he removed the old house, and was set in the underpinning
of the present house, near the east side door. The lineage of the Palmer
family of Stonington is of peculiar interest, as they were of sterling
worth, who placed their good names among the best citizens of Stoning-
ton. The progenitor was Walter Palmer, who settled in Stonington as
early as 1628. He was born in London, England, in 1585. At the time
of his settlement here he had reached the rugged steep of life's decline.
[Wheeler.] He is buried in the old Wequetequock burial-ground, dying
Nov. 10, 1 66 1. It is not my purpose to give the records of the Palmer
family of Stonington, but to show the lineage of Mercy, the grand-
dau. of Walter Palmer.
John Breed, who m. Mercy Palmer, built his house in Angwilla, about
one mile east from her father's house, and but a few rods west of the house
of Henry Breed. In a radius of two miles and less many of the Breed
families built their homes. It was known as Breedtown. Where Hermon
C. Brown's house stands was Jesse Breed's house, probably built by
his father, Amos Breed. But many of the old houses built in this local-
ity have been removed, and but few houses now take their places. John
Breed and wife Mercy are buried in the old Wequetequock burying-
ground. We read:
154
THE BROWN GENEALOGY
In memory of a pious pair, this carved stone was erected here, viz., of Mr. John
Breed and his wife Mercy, who lived together in ye marriage state in a most religious
manner about 64 years and then deceased, leaving a numerous offspring. He in 1751
about ninety years of age and she in 1752 about eighty-three years. Erected in the
year 1772 by six of their children then living.
Behold the righteous live long on the earth,
And in old age resign their breath,
They and their offspring here are blessed;
When done with life they go to rest.
The Roswell Breed house is still [1914] standing, near the home of
the late Elias Miner, but is now unoccupied. It has been the home of
numerous families, but is not on any public road. Here the late Albert
W. Hillard and wife, Emily M. Randall, dau. of the Hon. William Ran-
dall, of No. Stonington, began their newly wedded life, in 1852.
John Breed and Mercy Palmer, his wife, had ten children. The second
dau., Mary Palmer Breed, m. Daniel Brown, son of Thomas (2), who
lived one mile north of Mr. John Breed's house.

Rev. Valentine Wightman, the father of Mary Wightman mentioned
above, organized the first Baptist church in Connecticut, and the first
Baptist church west of Providence, R. I., — at Groton, — in 1705. He
assisted in planting the first Baptist church in the city and State of New
York. He was a well-educated and scholarly man; aided in planting
churches in Stonington, Waterford, and Lyme, Conn. He was pastor of
the Groton church forty-two years, and was succeeded by his son Rev.
Timothy Wightman, who was tried by the erratic ideas and practices of a
band of Rogerine Quakers, that aimed at times to disturb his meetings;
but his serenity and good judgment foiled their designs. They would
attend his meetings, taking with them their basket-work, and during the
service one of them addressed the minister: "Timothy, thou liest; thou
knowest thou liest." He was a plain, fearless, discreet, faithful preacher,
like his honored father before him. He also served the Groton church
for forty-two years. The next to succeed Rev. Timothy Wightman was
his youngest son, Rev. John Gano Wightman, who was a man distin-
172

guished for solid, practical qualities, of fervent and consistent piety, of
an excellent, goodly personal appearance and bearing, who won a high

successively the old Groton church for one hundred and twenty-five
years.

PEACE.
"The Peace of God, which passeth understanding,"
O gift divine to our sin-burdened lives,
A balm thou art in every truth for healing
The wounds left sore in him who with sin strives.
First Hope, a pure, sweet flower, comes to lead us,
To bid us seek the future promise fair.
Alas! Reality's cold blast soon strikes us,
And Hope's poor withered stalk is left all bare.
Then Love's clear star makes bright the path of life.
"Oh, surely this is real, is true," we cry;
But all too soon our loved ones are called from us,
And "Love was but a meteor," we sigh.
But Peace, God's blessed, is left to us.
And what could we ask more than this sweet rest?
From all earth's cares and sorrows we may turn,
And only know we are leaning on His breast.

Wilson, b., Glasgow, Scotland, May 26, 1847; dau. of
John and Sarah (Parker) Wilson, of Loda. They attend
the Methodist Episcopal Church at Melvin, of which
Mrs. Perry is a member. Mrs. Perry received the degree
of B.S. from Lincoln University, Lincoln, 111., 1871, and
taught in public schools of Lincoln for three years, 1871-
74; in Loda for two years, 1875-77.
Mr. Perry, at the age of eighteen, enlisted in 1st Conn.
Reg. Cavalry Vols., Oct. 31, 1861, at New London, Conn.,
and was mustered into service at Camp Tyler, West
Meriden, Conn., Nov. 4, 1861. He was promoted to
Corporal Feb. 6, 1864, and honorably discharged Nov. 2,
1864. He served in General Custer's Division under Gen-
eral Sheridan. He was engaged in the Battle of Cedar
Creek, during which engagement occurred Sheridan's
twenty-mile ride from Winchester. At the close of the
war Mr. Perry sought again the schools to become an in-
structor. He attended the Syracuse (N. Y.) University
and the Illinois State Normal University. Following this
preparation he taught in our schools for twelve years, one
year as principal of the Buckley public school, and three
years as principal of the Loda public school. In the fall of
1878 he entered the Rush Medical School, at Chicago, and
graduated Feb. 24, 1880, as M.D. He came immediately to
Melvin and began the practice of medicine, where he re-
mained until his death. His townsmen elected him a mera-
203
THE BROWN GENEALOGY
ber of the Town Board, and for three years honored him
with the presidency. For several years he was a member of
the Board of School Directors and County Coroner. He
was a charter member of the Melvin G. A. R. Post, and a
charter member of Melvin Masonic Lodge No. 811, being
the oldest in membership in this body. During his twenty
years of medical practice he gave much time to general
reading. He was esteemed in his home as a good physician
and entertaining guest. His sons and daughters are, after
a manner, his educated ideas; and the preparation for life-
work by so many members of one family is no small com-
ment on the directing power and influence behind it all.
He wanted his children educated for the good of society
and the welfare of the nation as well as for their own per-
sonal advantage. — Extract from Melvin Transcript.

Mahitabel Brown (35), dau. of John (9) and Elizabeth (Miner) Brown,
son of Thomas and Mary (Newhall) Brown, of Lynn, Mass, b., Stoning-
ton, Conn., Aug., 1712; m. (1), Stonington, Jan. 13, 1731, "by ye Rev.
Mr. Ebenezer Russell," Nathaniel Swan, b., Stonington (Swantown
Hill), Apr. 13, 1709, the first child b. in Stonington by the name of Swan.
The coming of John Swan to Swantown Hill was when the country was in
a primitive state, and this great Hill was one vast forest where the wood-
man awoke the echoes with his axe to let in the sunlight, and there to
stir the earth and scatter the seed. Hither came Mahitabel Brown Swan,
then a bride, five miles away from her home, where her father had made
an early settlement, in 1680.
A sketch of the Swan family will here be given, then will follow the
children of the above.
"The first known of John Swan, the father of Nathaniel above, was
when he was living in Haverhill, Mass. He m. Mrs. Susannah Wood
Aug. 1, 1699, dau. of Philip Eastman and granddau. of Roger Eastman.
Her first m. was to Thomas Wood, May 16, 1693. Thomas and child
Susannah were killed by the Indians Mar. 15, 1697. They lived in Haver-
hill until 1707, where three of their children were born.
"Haverhill was a frontier town of nearly 70 years, and but few towns
suffered so severely from the Indians. At this period we can have but a
faint conception of the sufferings of the inhabitants. Surrounded by an
immense and mostly unexplored forest, constantly exposed to the attacks
of savages, are circumstances that make us wonder why they should
continue to march onward and onward into the wilderness, — terrific for
its extent, — and unfurl the banner of civilization under the very shadow
of the enemies' wigwam. Thus did John Swan and his heroic wife begin
their home in Haverhill.
"Two Indians attacked their house. Mrs. Swan saw them approach-
ing, and they determined, if possible, to save their own lives and the
lives of their children from the knives of the ruthless butchers. They im-
mediately placed themselves against the door. The Indians rushed
against it, but finding it could not be easily opened, they commenced
their operations more systematically. One of them placed his back
against it, so that he could make his whole strength bear upon it, while
the other pushed against him. The strength of the besiegers was greater
than that of the besieged, and Mr. Swan, almost despaired of saving
himself and family, said to his wife that he thought it would be better to
let them come in. But his resolute and courageous wife had no such in-
tentions. The Indians had now succeeded in partly opening the doo/, and
214
THE BROWN GENEALOGY
one of them was crowding himself in, while the other was pushing lustily
after. The heroic wife saw that there was no time for parleying. She
seized her spit (an iron about three feet long, pointed at the end for hold-
ing meat over a fire for cooking), — a deadly weapon in the hands of a
woman, as it proved, — and, collecting all the strength she possessed, drove
it through the body of the foremost. This was too warm a reception for
the Indians, and was a resistance from a source, and with a weapon, they
little expected; and surely, who else would ever think of spitting a man?
Thus, by the heroic courage of a wife and mother, this family was saved
from a bloody grave."
This record came wholly from tradition. It was related by an aged
and venerable gentleman who had often heard it told by his grandfather.

John Swan removed to Stonington with his family in the year 1707,

seventy-five years; she d. Mar. 20, 1772, in the hundredth year of her

i.his date. He is represented as possessing great physical
powers and endurance. Children: (1) Elias Randall, b.
1734; (2) Sylvester, b. ; d. ; (3) Amos.
Jonathan Brown [B. G. 37], son of Eleazer (n) and Ann (Pendleton)
Brown, son of Thomas and Mary (Newhall) Brown, b. July 12, 1694;
m. Elizabeth Pendleton; she was baptized June 25, 1699, in First Church,
Stonington, Conn. They lived upon land inherited by Ann Pendleton
from her father, James. No list of the children of Jonathan and Eliza-
beth (Pendleton) Brown appears upon the vital records of Westerly,
but the land and probate records of the town give us four of their names.
From the foregoing records we may set down the issue of Jonathan and
Elizabeth (Pendleton) Brown in about the following order.
Children :
I. Jonathan Brown, Jr., m., Sept. 30, 1742, Elizabeth Burroughs.
217
THE BROWN GENEALOGY
He may also have been the Jonathan Brown who m.,
Westerly, Mar. i, 1757, Elizabeth Burdick [Westerly Rec],
although this record would be equally applicable to his
namesake already referred to, as would also be the follow-
ing: "29th Dec., 1760, Elizabeth Brown, widow, was
apptd. admx. of the estate of Jonathan Brown Jr., and on
the 26th Oct., 1761, she appeared before the Council and
presented an account against the estate for 'keeping two of
the deceased's Orphan Children forty weeks each.' " [West-
erly C. & P. Rec, III, 636, 677.] Still, on the 17th of Oct.,
1768, "Elizabeth Brown, widow of Jonathan Brown, late of
Westerly, dec," m. John Moon, of Exeter. We do not find
that the other Jonathan Brown was ever at Westerly.
[Pendleton Gen., by Everett Pendleton.]
II. Eleazer, d., probably, in the French and Indian War; m.,
Nov. 10, 1742, Sarah Die [Dye] [Second Ch. Ston.]
III. Elizabeth, b. 1724; d., Westerly, R. I., Sept. 15, 1813, aged
eighty-nine years [G. S.]; m., Nov. 9, 1743, William Brom-
ley. [First Ch. Ston. Rec]. Their children are given upon
the Westerly Records, and William Bromley's will is also
to be found there. They were the parents of that Perry
Bromley whose marriage to Dorcas Pendleton was the
source of much perplexity.
IV. Ebenezer, b. 1724-25; d., No. Stonington, Conn., May 10,
1816, aged ninety-two years. He operated a grist-mill at
Westerly, near the east end of the Pawcatuck Bridge,
until about 1799, when he bought a seventy-six acre farm
in No. Stonington, where he lived the rest of his life. The
gravestone beside his, names as his wife Abigail, who d.
Sept. 12, 181 1, aged sixty-five [B. G., p. 533]. She was
probably his second wife, as there seems no doubt but
that he was the Ebenezer Brown who m., Westerly, Feb. 5,
1756, Anna Wells, of Stonington, and had children [re-
corded upon Westerly Rec]: Caleb, Hannah, Lydia, John,
Amy, Sarah, Dorothy, and Nathan. On Oct. 25, 1790,
Capt. Caleb Brown was appointed guardian of Ebenezer
Brown and family. [West. C. & P. Rec, V, 55.] Only one
child of Ebenezer 's is referred to in B. G., and this one is
called Joshua, b. 1782. [Pendleton Gen., p. 70.]

Ebenezer Brown (IV), son of Jonathan (37), son of Eleazer Brown (11)
and Ann Pendleton, b. 1724-25; d., No. Stonington, Conn., May 10,
1816, aged ninety-two years; m. Abigail Davis, d. Sept. 12, 181 1, aged
sixty- five years. He lived in Westerly, R. I., and owned considerable real
estate. On the first map of Westerly, published in 1 795, is given " Brown's
Mill" (grist-mill), running two sets of stones near the east end of Paw-
catuck Bridge, by which name the village was known for many years.
He sold his mill in Westerly and bought a farm in the eastern part of
No. Stonington one mile west of Clark's Falls, but not on the highway;
it is entered near the home of Daniel Wright, a long-time resident on
the road that leads to Boom Bridge. He removed to this farm in 1799,
where he spent his remaining days. The house is still standing, but
has been for a long time vacant. From a well-kept and walled burying-
ground near the old house many of these records were taken.
Deed from Reuben Hall to Ebenezer Brown is in the possession of
Elmer Y. Brown (17 18), of No. Stonington, Conn.
The No. Stonington Records show by deed given by Ebenezer Brown
in 18 10 that he had issue.

in camp at Arlington Heights, Va., and from which dis-
abilities he never fully recovered. He was converted at
Willimantic Camp-meeting in i860, and joined the church
at Colchester. The church gave him license to exhort, in
1861, and to preach, in 1863. In 1864, having entered the
ministry of the Methodist Episcopal Church, he removed
from Colchester and became the pastor of the Methodist
Episcopal Church at Square Pond, now Diamond Lake,
Conn. In the spring of 1865 he joined the New England
Southern Conference [then called the Providence Con-
ference] and served as the pastor of the following churches:
1865-67, East Thompson; 1868-69, Staff ordville; 1S70-71,
East Glastonbury; 1872, Greenville; 1873-74, Wapping
[all of these churches were located in Connecticut]; 1875-
76, Dighton, Mass.; 1877-79, Warehouse Point, Conn.;
1880, Attawaugan, Conn.; 1881-82; Mystic, Conn, [now
known as Old Mystic]; 1883-84, North Grosvenordale,
Conn.; 1885, Jewett City, Conn.; 1S86, Hockanum, Conn.;
1887-89, Nantasket, Mass.; 1890, Arnold's Mills, R. I.;
1 891, Hope, R. L; 1892-93, Wickford, R. I.
In 1894, because of failing health, he took a super-
annuated relation and removed to Providence, in which
city he lived until his death, Mar. 15, 1909. From 1894 to
1896 he supplied the Wanskuck Church, and largely through
222
THE BROWN GENEALOGY
his efforts a neat and commodious chapel was erected. He
served as Chaplain of the G. A. R. Post at Wickford, and
as Chaplain and Adjutant of Slocum Post of Providence.
For seven years he was connected with the Evening Telegram
as Grand- Army correspondent. He also occupied for sev-
eral years a position of trust in the Conference as Treasurer
of Conference Claimants' Fund. He never forgot his spir-
itual birthplace, Willimantic Camp-ground, and for several
years rendered efficient services as a member of the exec-
utive committee, at the same time reporting for the Hart-
ford Courant during camp-meeting week. As a preacher he
was scriptural, methodical, earnest, and instructive. He
was a student of the Bible, and most heartily believed and
taught what he found therein. Such a preacher could not
fail to interest his hearers and to build up his churches.

This farm now, in 1914, owned by the heirs of Zebulon Y. Brown (1699), was leased
to Cyrus W. Brown, Jr., the father of the compiler of this book. To show the great
value of this farm in 1833, and the rental yearly, which at the then current prices
amounted to $515 (five hundred and fifteen dollars), this lease is here transcribed.
The largest item in the lease was cheese, at five cents a pound; now [1914] three times
as much — yet it is said it does not pay to farm.
At the time of this lease, No. Stonington had twenty-seven hundred inhabitants,
and the strong young men with increasing families were seeking better and cheaper
lands in the State of New York, and had been for more than thirty years.

THE GREATEST TREASURE.
"The value of a child is incalculable," says a Chicago judge. "The child is the
thing that makes the home the unit, and the child is the thing about which every-
thing revolves."
James Brown [B. G. 38, pp. 12, 14], his records and the names of his children, will
follow in this connection, with comments and facts known personally to the compiler.
James Brown (38), son of Eleazer (11) and Ann (Pendleton) Brown,
b., Stonington, Conn., July 1, 1696; d., No. Stonington, Conn., Feb. 2,
1750; m., May 5, 17 18, by Rev. James Noyes, of Stonington, Elizabeth
Randall, b. July 4, 1696; d. Aug. 25, 1786, at the ripe age of over ninety
years. Interments in Brown Cemetery. [For more complete comments,
see B. G., p. 14.]
It must be remembered that when James Brown was b. the country
was in a primitive state, almost a vast wilderness. His father, Eleazer,
with his axe, had begun to let in the sunshine in a few places, and to stir
the virgin soil and scatter a little seed, making an opening for future
settlers. James Brown built his house on lands first set off to his father,
Eleazer (11), on the most beautiful situation of any of the lands pur-
chased by the three Brown brothers. This house built by James Brown
was located opposite what is now the Union Cemetery. The compiler
remembers the old, old house from 1840 to 1845, which soon after was
torn down. It was a one-story house, fronting south, with east end front-
ing the country road. The house and barn were built of native lumber,
sawed at the mill erected by his father, and assisted by the older son,
Jonathan (37), and James, the subject of this sketch. The barn fell down
before the house was pulled down. The house contained but four rooms
on the first floor; there might have been an attic. The compiler was in
and out of this house during five years of his boyhood. The house stood
on a gradual sloping plateau, affording a most picturesque view for miles
around. The land is rich and fertile. The father of the compiler hired
the land for a number of years, and on the same the compiler worked for
five years. After the house was removed, the well covered, and grounds
cleared and leveled off, there was not a thing to show the spot where
these illustrious children were born. In this primitive house, standing
on this beautiful location, the following children were born.

Joshua Brown lived on the James Brown homestead until the death
of his mother, in 1786, and his children were all b. here. He then removed
to a farm in the southerly part of Stonington, where he built his house,
living here until he died, Sept. 26, 1824.
The foregoing is written especially to show the parentage of Thankful
Brown and her Mster Elizabeth, and to show the identical location where
they were b. and m. It is interesting to note that Thankful (Brown)
Main named her oldest son, James, for her father; and it has been in-
teresting to notice for five succeeding generations that the name James
appears in regular order among her descendants. This was discovered
when the B. and AI. G. was written.
Now will follow the marriages of these two sisters and their children,
being a reprint from B. and AI. G. (p. 51).

time, expense, and persistent effort in placing on the pages of history the
descendants of Thankful Brown, dau. of James Brown and Elizabeth
Randall, who. m. Jeremiah Main, and her sister Elizabeth Brown, who
m. Timothy Main.
"There can be no more sincere and disinterested friendship on earth than
that which exists in the bosom of pa rents towards their children. For their
happiness they are willing to sacrifice much; for them they toil and struggle;
for them they live, and for them, if need be, they would die."
Daniel Main (1800), son of Jeremiah and Thankful (Brown) Main,
b. Jan. 26, 1761; d. Jan. 30, 1835; m., July 21, 1779, Grace Main, b.
Apr. 22, 1761; d. aged ninety-five years; dau. of Timothy and Elizabeth
(Brown) Main. Mr. and Mrs. Main lived in the Main Settlement in
Connecticut till their children were all born, and at least one, George,
married while there. They came to New York State with an ox-team and
two horses, and remained for a time at Petersburg, Rensselaer Co.
George Main and wife remained a year or so there, at which place their
son Jefferson was born. The family came on westward, stopping for
a visit with Edward Thurston and Abigail Main [B. and M. G. 287,
p. 51], his wife, who lived near Cooperstown, Otsego Co., N. Y. Their
Their dau. Susannah remained a year or more with her aunt Thankful.
The family moved on, spending a year in the town of Plaintield, then
located near So. Brookfield, Madison Co., N. Y., where Mr. Main
purchased a farm of one hundred and sixty acres with a frame house
thereon, which was uncommon in those days. This homestead was about
three miles from Five Corners, where the church was located, with Elder
Simeon Brown, Jr., founder and pastor, Mr. Main owned one of the
largest and strongest horses in the vicinity, named "Old Sampson,"
which he would mount, and ride to church with his wife or dau. Later
his dau. Susannah seemed quite willing to go, mounted on the pillion
behind her father. Mr. Main was chosen deacon of the church soon after
settling in the Main homestead, and his wife and several children became
devout members. Dea. Daniel Main (1800) was a very well-educated
man; he taught school in Connecticut, and also in New York State, be-
in.!^ very proficient in the prof ession, as some of his descendants have been
also. While in Connecticut he often preached, but did not preach much
after coming to New York State. He was Justice of the Peace, but
farming was his chief occupation. He was tall, rather slender, and a
man of commanding appearance, being a deep thinker he was listened
to very attentively, as he also possessed a very pleasing voice.

in 1792, as first pastor. The first deacon was Daniel Main (291)
Tombstone of Thankful (Brown) Main
THE BROWN GENEALOGY
Mrs. Main was short, and rather fleshy. For many years she was
blind. She had a severe attack of typhoid fever, during which she was
tenderly cared for by her dau. Susannah, and son Ira Miner and wife.
After her recovery she could read and sew without even spectacles, some
of her handiwork being in existence now [191 2].
About one-half acre in the southeast corner of the Main homestead
was set aside for burial purposes and known as the Main Cemetery.
The first one to be buried there was Thankful (Brown) Main, wife of
Jeremiah Main, who d. Mar. 20, 1812, aged ninety-five years. Her son
Deacon Daniel and wife beside her, and several in the three following
generations rest there. In memory of Dea. Daniel Main and wife a re-
union is held yearly. At first it was held on the old homestead, later at
the homes of different members of the union; but usually, of late years,
at Summit Lake, a very quiet but picturesque place in the vicinity of
Burlington Flats, Otsego Co., N. Y.
Children :
1801. Daniel Main, b. 17S0; d. Apr. 18, 1837; m. Marvel York.
He was given sixty acres, a portion of the old homestead,
including the Main Cemetery, where he was buried. He
was a very eccentric character. They had no children,
but adopted Dennison Main, father of Don Main, Brook-
field, N. Y. They also became foster parents of Currin
Chase.

d. Feb. 15, 1833; son of Elder Simeon and Ruth (York) Brown. Burial
in the Brown Cemetery. Mr. Brown was a farmer and a cooper. Mrs.
Brown was bereft of the love and help of a very kind husband, but
reared to noble manhood and womanhood her large family. Another
affliction soon followed, when death claimed her beloved son Almon.
She was a very quiet, unassuming character, loved best by those who
knew her most intimately. When her son's wife, Philura, was dying, she
placed her young babe in its grandmother's arms, saying, "I give Henri-
etta to you." Thus she proved a noble mother to her also. A woman
often sought in time of sickness, she filled her mission in life full of kind
deeds. Her attitude in regard to temperance is best illustrated by the
following instance. She was riding along one day with her son Stephen
Taylor, when they saw a man lying intoxicated by the roadside. She
turned to her son, saying, "I had rather bury a son of mine than see him
in that condition; it would he far easier for me" Her sons were very
temperate, not even having the habit of sweet-cider drinking, and only
one, the eldest, used tobacco. Hut one son, Stephen Taylor, survives
her. Though past his eighty-seventh birthday his mind is clear and alert;
and though he is rather feeble physically, to him, mostly, is due the credit
of the history penned of Dea. Daniel Main and wife. Nothing thus
written has been fancied on the [tart of the writer, but facts as related
by him.

was a member of the Baptist Church at Brookfield, and, being possessed
of an unusually retentive memory, he could quote Scripture as but few
could. Oneof his special pleasures, as his children were growing up, was to
have them read portions of Scripture at random, and he would name the
book, chapter, and often the verse, where found. His Bible was his most
valued book, and not until well advanced in years and confined to the
house by illness did he practise reading a newspaper. He was a Repub-
lican.

Note. — It appears from the above that Eleazer Brown was twice m.
Eleazer Brown (2003), son of Eleazer (39) and Temperance (Holmes)
Brown [Eleazer (11), Thomas], b., at Stonington, Conn., June 1, 1728;
d. July 11, 1795; buried in the Brown Cemetery, No. Stonington, Conn.;
m., Oct. 16, 1755, Anne Green, of Hopkinton, R. I., b. 1735; d. Sept.
15, 1803. Elder Brown was the second pastor of the First Baptist Church,
of Stonington [Pendleton Hill]. This was his only pastorate, extending
over a period of twenty-seven years. Elder Brown, it is said, had but
little education, but was a man of strong native powers, of vivid thought
and conception, and of a flowing, rapid delivery. He was rightly esteemed
one of the most eminent preachers of his day. In 1791, towards the close
of his ministry, there came a great outpouring of the Spirit of God;
and the seed faithfully sown began to bear much fruit, and at this re-
vival the church received an accession of fifty-two, making the total
membership one hundred and fifty-two. [For a full account, see B. G.,
pp. 551, 552.]
Elder Eleazer Brown's house stood a few rods east of the Brown Bury-
ing-ground, opposite the present parsonage of the Second Church, in
No. Stonington, where the cellar is still to be seen. This house was
struck by lightning while Elder Brown was preaching in the near-by
church. Two young people were killed by lightning, one up stairs and
the other down, while shutting windows. The compiler's mother said
they were engaged to be married. Another mother reported that they
were John and Hulda, but it is not certain about their names.

Anne (Green) Brown, b., at Stonington, Conn., July 4, 1757; m. Edith
Palmer.
It is not exactly known when Fleazer Brown removed to the State
of New York, but in New York Land papers of records of petitions for
and grants of land are found many familiar names around Brooklield,
Edmeston, and Columbus. Fleazer Brown had a certificate of purchase
of 250 acres Dec. 1, 1790, for lot 84, township 19. Also Simeon Brown,
Jr., lot Si, 250 acres. He settled in Brookfield. [See B. G., p. 120.]
Jabish Brown had a certificate of purchase in 1791, in Chenango Town-
ship, of 500 acres. These three early settlers were near relatives, going
from their home town, Stonington, at different times.* Thus it would
appear that Eleazer Brown (2012) settled at Brookfield.

Note. — While it is said that Prentice Brown (2021) was b. at Stonington, I am
inclined to believe that it was his father, Eleazer (2012), who blazed the trail into
York State when it was comparatively one vast wilderness, in the last half of 1700.
Eleazer (2012), with Simeon Brown, Jr. (275) [B. G., p. 120], is mentioned as a pioneer
to York State in this same connection in 1791. Therefore I believe that Prentice Brown
was born in Madison Co., N. Y. Stonington, Conn., at this time, one hundred years
after the three Brown brothers made their settlement in this wilderness, had become
very thickly settled, and every acre of available land was under cultivation, and the
same spirit of adventure crowded these sons of Elder Eleazer Brown (2003) from their
home town, Stonington, to seek new and cheaper land and more productive in the
west — "out west," it was then called.
It was with much difficulty and long research that the compiler located these broth-
ers,— Eleazer (2012), Benjamin (2016), and Luther (2017), — for no records are left
of where such adventurers fled to.

The following lines were written by Jesse Brown, Jr., on his death-bed:
Farewell, my dear wife, I leave to your care
Two jewels more precious than diamonds rare.
Oh, train them for Heaven to meet me on high,
And come with them, too, for sure you must die!
Farewell, my dear children, how hard thus to part;
To have met you again would bring joy to my heart.
Oh, meet me in Heaven! We '11 part nevermore,
As we roam the fair fields of eternity's shore.

THE MUSIC OF SOLITUDE.
By Margaret E. LaMont, Alfred, N. Y.
I heard the twittering of happy birds.
The lapping of the wavelets on the shore;
I heard the singing of the summer wind,
The swaying of the pine trees — and no more.
And yet 't was not alone the song of bird;
Nor yet of wave, nor wind, nor swaying pine;
But something in them, through them, that I heard, —
A breathing echo of a song divine.

HOW ALPHEUS BROWN AND HIS RECORDS WERE FOUND.
In my first genealogy I had only the name of Alpheus Brown and the
fact that he went West.
In 191 1 I saw the name of Edwin J. Brown, Oneida, N. Y., where he
had been chosen president of the historical society. As his name was not
in my first genealogy, when I had so many Browns in Madison County,
I at once wrote Mr. Brown, to get his ancestry. He wrote me that his
great-grandfather was Alpheus Brown, and that he lived at a place in
Stonington, Conn., called Pawcatuck Bridge [which is Westerly, R. I.].
He said he never could connect himself with the numerous Browns in
Madison County. He said also that his grandfather's name was Clark.
I went to the Westerly Town Records and found that Alpheus Brown,
late of Stonington, m. Hannah Burdick, of Hopkinton, R. I. The records
from Hopkinton revealed the birth of Clark Brown, his grandfather.
I wrote Mr. Brown of Oneida that the reason he could not connect
himself with the numerous Browns of Madison County was that he had
lost the key. I sent him the connecting links by which he was related
to them. He then gave me the records of Clark Brown, after his birth
was found in Hopkinton, down to the present time [191 2].
It was then supposed that Clark was an only child; but in 1914 six
other children were found, whose records will follow in regular order.

Hannah Brown (1314a), the second child of Alpheus (1286) and
Hannah (Burdick) Brown [Reuben (1258), Humphrey (26), Thomas
(2), Thomas], b., at Hopkinton, R. I., Oct. 15, 1798; m., at Hopkinton,
in 1813, Ezra Babcock, b., at Hopkinton, Oct. 18, 1794; d., at Brookfield,
N. Y., Nov. 9, 1879; son of Oliver, 3d, and Tracy (Maxson) Babcock.
When Ezra became of age he sold the farm in Leyden, Mass., for $4,000.
He was a good scholar, a beautiful writer, a school-teacher, a musician,
and played the violin after he was seventy-five years of age, for the
amusement of the family. Some time in 18 15 they removed to Hcmer,
N. Y., and he, with his brother Nathan, kept a dry-goods store. He then
went to Utica, N. Y., and learned the carpenter's trade and became a
boss workman. He built the first Methodist Church in Brookfield, also
the Academy, where Lodowick C. York was principal. Mrs. Jennings
(2407), in her girlhood, attended this Academy until she began to teach
as assistant for L. C. York [see B. G., p. 1S8]. Mr. Babcock then bought
a beautiful farm of over two hundred acres, where he settled for the
rest of his life. Their dau. Cynthia had the care of her parents for many
years, at their home in Brookfield, until their death. From the Babcock
Genealogy (p. 97) is given the following record:
"Oliver Babcock, 3d, son of Oliver, Jr., and Patience (Pendleton) Bab-
cock, b., at Hopkinton, R. I., June 28, 1746; d., at Leyden, Mass., Sept.
11, 1806 or 1809; m., July 18, 1767, Tracy, dau. of Samuel and Ruth
(Rogers) Maxson, b. Feb. 13, 1754; d. at Leonardsville, N. Y.
THE WILL.
"The will of Oliver Babcock, 3d, dated at Leyden, Mass., Sept. 5,
1806, mentions his wife, Tracy, and his seven sons and three daughters,
315
THE BROWN GENEALOGY
the names given in order of ages. His homestead farm at Leyden, con-
taining one hundred and sixty acres, he gave to his wife during her life,
and at her death to his youngest son, Ezra. His sons Ethan, Oliver, and
Joseph had each previously received their shares. On the same day the
will was signed, he deeded to each of his sons Phineas and Nathan a
tract of land. To his son Hezekiah he gave a farm of two hundred acres
lying in Brookfield, N. V. To each of his three daughters, Lois, Patty
or Martha, and Susan, he gave $200."
Children of Hannah Brown and Ezra Babcock:
2399. Laura T. Babcock, b., at Hopkinton, R. I., 1S15; m. Benja-
min Gorton, who d. Apr., 1S45; she d. in 1845, aged thirty
years. They had one dau., Laura Plasentia Gorton. In
earh' womanhood she m. Jerome Murphy, of Rochester,
N. Y. They continued to reside here for a number of
years, or until Mr. Murphy entered the ministry, when
they took up their residence in the western part of the
State. Mr. Murphy d. in 1878. They had one dau., Mrs.
C.H. Paine, with whom Mrs. Murphy resided at the time of
her death. Laura T. (Babcock) Gorton had serious trouble
with one of her eyes, which finally, after an operation,
caused her death. This cast deep gloom over the parental
home, and made a profound impression on her younger
sister, Cynthia, as she recalls her death. Mr. Gorton was
certainly one of the best of men and a pillar in the Metho-
dist Church.
2400. Roxie B., b. Dec. 21, 1816; m. Albert W. Hills (2410-2414).

acres, on which he built a house, and soon after d., Apr. 10,
1866, at the age of thirty-seven years. John K. Babcock

b., at Ira, Vt., Oct. 17, 1810; d., at New Berlin, Mar. 10, 1894; son of
Daniel Hills, of New Berlin, and Sally Hutchins. Mr. Hills was a car-
penter and farmer. He was a strong Republican, and a good citizen,
and was greatly missed when he died. He never professed religion, but
always gave to the church just the same as he would if he had been a
member. He had the old farm homestead, and it is the home of his old-
est son, Herbert. Roxie was an active member of the Baptist Church, a
teacher of the Bible-class for fifteen consecutive years, and every one of
the class were Christians. She used to live, when young, with her Grand-
mother Brown, and kept the seventh day. Both grandfathers kept the
seventh day. Many of the people in Hopkinton, R. L, at that time, as
now, keep the seventh day. The mother church of the Seventh Day
people is located here, and in 1902 celebrated the two-hundredth anni-
versary of their organization. The names of the two grandfathers here
mentioned were Alpheus Brown and Oliver Babcock. Roxie kept Sunday
after her marriage, for there was no Seventh-Day Church in that place.

THE BROWN GENEALOGY
excellent memory of all the families enabled the compiler to obtain
records which in a short time would have been wholly lost. If any mem-
bers of this family do not have a place in these records it will not be the
fault of Mrs. Jennings. In her girlhood she had the advantages of an
academic education, and afterwards she became a proficient teacher.
Her Utters written to the compiler were in good language, evincing a
well-trained mind. It was very difficult to locate any one that could
tell what had become of Hannah Brown (1314a), the oldest dau. of
Alpheus and Hannah (Burdick) Brown, until Mrs. Jennings was located.

THE BROWN GENEALOGY
GENEALOGICAL RECORD OF JOHN BROWN, SOX OF ALPHEUS BROWN
( [286), AND Dl SCENDANTS.
By Ed M. Brown.
K.NOXVILLE, TeNN., May, 1914.
To Tin ( .i\i ux>GiST.
Dear Mr. Broun: —
Your ultimatum that we should compile the data for the genealogical record of our
grandfather, John Brown, and descendants, was as gratefully received as our knowl-
edge of our own unworthiness is recognized. We also are aware of the fact that a
work of the character in which you have been so many years engaged and upon which
you bave spent so much time and expended so much money must be almost in its
entirety a work of love of kindred. We realize we must refrain from approaching the
semblance of bipgraphy, and less of autobiography, and in as concise manner as pos-
sible give you a brief epitome of the milestones on the journey of each figure in this
drama called life. We have gone back in thought to those days of youth when and
where life first appeared to be real. Where the "old trout brook," commencing in a
tiny spring, grew in volume by distance to nourish resources for the home of the
little speckled beauty whose attainment by strategy was our acme of triumph. Then
home, past grandfather's, in the expectant halo of "See the conquering hero comes!"
Then comes the picture of grandfather and his five sons, in the zenith of manhood,
with their affinities, sitting down to a feast prepared by our dear old grandmother in
recognition of some anniversary of an epoch in our lives.
These royal dinners continued as the years sped by, with additional chairs around
that festal board for the grandchildren, who were never consigned to the "second
table" by a grandmother like ours.
Then after the feast, whilst grandmother was directing the usual after-dinner
ceremonies, assisted by the daughters she had acquired by a treaty of annexation
through the fidelity of her sons, the sons would assume to engage in a wrestling-match
with our grandfather, who would grasp each with the fervor of undiminished manhood,
and assert that whenever he had a boy who could put his back to the floor he was ready
to pass away. We have related the above as construing the spirit of filial devotion
which reigned at the time we take up our branch of the family tree. If we grow apart.
the spirit is not of him or her with whom we commence our data.
A brief synopsis of the lives of those who followed will be found appended herewith,
to accord with the information transmitted to us in spirit of fraternity and affection
by those who appreciate your work.
Craving the indulgence of those of whom we have related, in spirit of loyalty and
affection, and for yourself, in the language of Rip Van Winkle, who slept for twenty
years, to awaken with as dim a vision of genealogy as ourselves, if il were not for you,
'• May you live long ami prosper." Sincerely yours,
E. M. B.
John Brown (1314c), son of Alpheus (1286) and Hannah (Burdick)

Hopkinton, R. I., in 1804; d., at Kllisburg, X. V., 1S74; m. Priscilla

Tombstones of Alpheus Brown vnd Wife

THE BROWN GENEALOGY
Capt. James Lewis and Phebe, his wife. The writer is credibly informed
that the female descendants of Capt. James Lewis, who d. May 18,
1823, aged sixty-nine years, and is buried with his wife, who d. June 26,
1853, aged ninety-one years, in the cemetery at Ellisburg, are eligible
for membership in the D. A. R. Mr. Brown became a prominent local
figure by the impressions he created by his sturdy manhood, sterling
good sense, and loyalty in his friendships. Always genial, his utter-
ances were terse and practical, coupled with good humor. His mental
world was radiant with affection for all his kindred, who confided in
him for sympathy or comradeship. The affection between himself and
his wife was the embodiment of love in its fullest fruition. He was at
one time in the hotel business, but this lacking his conception of a
home, he retired to a farm, where he spent the remainder of his days in
an enjoyment which was more congenial to his nature. He was an
unswerving Democrat of the old school, and connected with the United
States Customs Service during President Buchanan's administration.

1902; dau. of Cyrus and Sarah Sophia (Field) Hubbard, of Henderson.
Mr. Brown was a man of gentle disposition, full of love for his family.
Deciding that the best place for a young man with a growing family was
in the new West, he left his home in Ellisburg, N. Y., and was on the
first boat that attempted to go through the Welland Canal. The canal
was too narrow, and the boat stuck fast. The captain was so chagrined
at the failure of his trip that he committed suicide, and Robert and his
family returned to their home in Ellisburg, staying until 1857, when he
migrated to that long-cherished haven, Wisconsin, which State and
Minnesota were his home until his death.

337
THE BROWN GENEALOGY
the third school to be incorporated in the State. This academy held a high position,
and was in popular favor for many years, iis students numbering upwards of one
hundred fmm abroad, together with a large number from Plainfield, at the time
William Dixon was a sludent there.
About 1700 or 1S00 .Mr. Dixon went to Enfield, Conn., where he taught school,
but gave up teaching and studied law. He represented Enfield in the General As-
sembly for nine terms. He was Town Clerk from 1832 to 1839 inclusive. Wm. Dixon
was married, at Enfield, Oct. 1 ^, iSor, to Mary, dau. of Simeon Field, M.D., of En-
field.— Extract from the "Harvey Book," by Oscar Jewell Hariey, pp. ^5.9, 454.
Mr. Dixon was fitted for college at the Plainfield Academy, the same
as his father, and in the autumn of 1795, shortly before his twenty-first
birthday, entered the Rhode Island College [since 1802, Brown Uni-
versity], Providence. He was graduated with honors in 1799, receiving
the degree of A.B. Soon after, he became a student of law at Norwich,
Conn. In 1S01 he wras admitted to the bar, and immediately entered
upon the practice of his profession in New London Co., Conn.
In 1S02 he removed to the village of Westerly, Washington Co.,
R. I., where he located, and was admitted to the bar. He continued to
pursue his professional labors in Connecticut as well as in Rhode Island,
and in the course of a few years had an extensive and remunerative
practice in both States.
In 1813, and also for several successive years, he wras chosen to repre-
sent Westerly in the General Assembly. In 1800 the Washington Bank
of Westerly was established, and in 1829 Mr. Dixon, who for several
years was a member of the Board of Directors of the bank, was elected
its president. He was continued in this office until his death. During a
number of years he held the rank of Colonel in the militia of Rhode
island.
In Oct., 1838, without any solicitation or effort on his part, Colonel
Dixon was elected, by the Rhode Island Legislature, to represent the
State as one of its Senators in the Congress of the United States, for a
term of six years, beginning Mar. 4, 1839. During his service in tin' Sen-
ate the following named were some of the eminent and able men who
were members of that body: John C. Calhoun, of So. Carolina, Rufus
Choate, of Massachusetts, Richard H. Bayard, of Delaware, Henry
Clay, of Kentucky, James Buchanan, of Pennsylvania, Thomas H.
Benton, of Missouri, Silas Wright, of New York, and Daniel Webster,
of Massachusetts.
Mr. Dixon passed away, as before stated, during the second session of
the Twenty-seventh Congress. Many eloquent tributes of respect to his
.. emory were given by members of the Senate.

" Thomas Edwards and Jerusha Brown, both of Stonington were
married in ye year of 171 2 by Nathaniel Cheesborough, Justice of the
Peace.
In presence of us
Thomas Brown
Sarah Edwards."
This Thomas Brown and Sarah Edwards who were witnesses to the
ceremony were probably her younger brother Thomas (22) and her
younger sister Sarah (21). This union explains where the Edwards and
Maine ancestors of the Jabish Main family found the name Collins for
a first name. [See B. and M. G. 555, p. 130.] Dr. C. Wesley Hale [B. and
M. G., p. 135] has the statement in the handwriting of his great-grand-
mother Freelove (Edwards) Maine, that Jerusha Brown (20) was the
dau. of Thomas Brown (2). In view of the above facts and many others,
there seems to be no doubt of the identity of the particular parties to
this union.

THE UTTER FAMILY.
Nicholas1 Utter, the immigrant, was b. about 1637. From 1630 to
1640 there was a large influx of people from England to New England,
landing at Lynn, Salem, and Newbury, Mass. Doubtless the parents of
Nicholas Utter were among these immigrants. Nicholas Utter was b.
about 1637. The precise time and place is not of record. There are tra-
ditions that che native country of the Utter family was Sweden; one,
that they came from Holland; another claims the name should be Von
Utter. But what is correct is not yet ascertained. It is found that he
lived in Westerly, R. I., and Stonington, Conn. He was twice m. The
name of his first wife was Deborah; the second wife was Elizabeth ,
a widow, who d. after 1722. He d. before 1723.

Nicholas Utter and his four sons were landholders in Westerly. Deeds
in some instances were signed by their marks, by which it must not be
inferred they could not write, but that sickness, infirmity, and old age
were the cause. For earlier transactions their signatures are given. In

her home with her brother George B. Utter, in Westerly,
and after his death and the death of his wife, she came into
the family of her nephew, George Ff. Utter, where she had
a pleasant home until her death, May 19, 1905. She was
a woman of fine abilities and good understanding; a mem-
ber of the Seventh-Day Baptist Church of Westerly.
2683. Peter R. Livingston, b. Sept. 3, 1823; d. Mar. 22, 1831.
2684. Ira Wilcox, b. Oct. 31, 1825; d. Mar. 12, 1875.
2685. Hannah Eliza, b. Sept., 1829; d. July, 1830.

Francis Abram6 Utter (2677), son of Dea. William (2669) and Dolly
(Wilcox) Utter, b., at Plainfield, N. Y., Mar. 5, 1813; d., at Whites-
borough, N. Y., Apr. 4, 1891; m., Aug. 2, 1842, Eliza x\nn Babcock,
b. Oct. 8, 1817; d., at Whitesborough, Aug. 8, 1882; dau. of Charles and
Martha (Gardner) Babcock. Mrs. Utter had been an invalid for periods
lasting two or three years. Mr. Utter attended what is known as the
"Old Red Schoolhouse," at Unadilla Forks, Otsego Co., N. Y. After
graduating from this school he went to Utica, N. Y., for a time. At the
age of nineteen he went to Cazenovia, N. Y., and attended school there
for a time. He then went to Norwich, Chenango Co., N. Y., and clerked
for Chapman & Thorp, general merchants. Mr. Thorp's daughter was
the wife of Ole Bull, the celebrated violinist. Mr. Utter, for a while,
conducted a store of general merchandise on his own account at Unadilla
Forks, and later at So. Brookfield, N. Y. He soon tired of this and took
up civil engineering, for which he had a great liking and with which he
359
THE BROWN GENEALOGY
had in a degree familiarized himself. He associated himself with Nelson
J. Beach in the construction of the Black River Canal. Mr. Beach was
subsequently made vice-president of the Hudson River R. R. Co., and
he took Mr. Utter with him, securing for him the position of chief engi-
neer, with headquarters at New York City. When the New York Cen-
tral Railroad was consolidated with the Hudson River Road, Mr. Utter
was continued in the employ of the Vanderbilts, and placed in charge of
the maps of the entire system. This collection of maps, as arranged by
Mr. Utter, was perfect. He knew every piece of property owned by the
Central Company, and could give the location, extent, etc., without
reference to maps. He was a valuable assistant to counsel in actions in
which the company was involved. He was recognized as the best-posted
man in that particular in the employ of the road. Mr. Utter was con-
tinued in this capacity until 1886, when his health became impaired, he
being attacked with nervous prostration. The Central Company con-
tinued his name on the pay-roll during his entire illness.
Children, b. at Unadilla Forks:
2657. Ann Eliza Utter, b. May 31, 1S44; d., at Bridgewater, N. Y.,
July 28, 1902. Miss Utter's early life was spent at Pough-
keepsie, N. Y., and in 1867 the family removed to Bridge-
water. She leaves many friends, who will remember her
for her most beautiful Christian submission. She is buried
at Whitesborough.

He was stationed for a while at Trenton, N. Y., in connection with an
extensive filling there. For several years he was employed in engineering
and kindred work on the Hudson River R. R. in connection with his
brother Francis A. Utter, who was for a long time chief engineer of that
road. When the work of constructing the New Haven, Middletown,
Willimantic, and Boston Air-Line R. R. was in progress, he was ap-
pointed inspector of masonry, and afterwards held a similar position in
the building of the Providence Water-works. Mr. Utter's wife d. at

in establishing a religious newspaper called the Sabbath Recorder, which
soon became the leading recognized organ of the Seventh-Day Baptist
denomination. For more than twenty-five years he edited and published
that paper, and had the oversight of the monthly and quarterly period-
icals and books and reports of various kinds published by that denomina-
tion. In 1859 he became interested in the Narragansett Weekly, a paper
published in Westerly, and removed with his family, in January, 1862,
to Westerly. He and his brother John Herbert Utter joined in the pub-
lication of that paper. On the death of J. Herbert Utter, in 1SS6, Mr.
George B. Utter assumed the whole responsibility of that paper. He was a
man of rare abilities, unassuming, and far-sighted; his counsel was sought
by people both far and near for his judgment in financial and other
matter-. He had prepared for the ministry and was ordained, but im-
portant duties with which he was connected prevented his becoming
pastor of a church.
Son and only child, by second m.:
2700. George Herbert Utter, b., at Plainfield, X. J., July 24,

Brown. Both were members of the Pawcatuck Seventh-Day Baptist
Church, at Westerly. Mr. Utter received his early education in West-
erly, where he came with his parents in [861, after which he spent two
years in Alfred Academy, Alfred. N. Y. He then returned to Westerly,
and two more years were devoted to the pursuance of his course of in-
struction in the Westerly High School. He then entered Amherst Col-
lege, Amherst, Mass., from which he was graduated with the class of

THE BROWN GENEALOGY
1877. Before his collegiate career Mr. Utter learned the printer's trade,
and after his graduation he became associated with his father, George B.,
and his uncle, J. Herbert, Utter in publishing the Narragansett Weekly.
On the death of his uncle, in 1SS6, he was taken into the firm; and on
the death of his father, in 1S92, he became sole proprietor of the paper.
Through his efforts the Westerly Daily Sun was started, the first issue
appearing on Aug. 7, 1893. Mr. Utter was engaged in public life for more
than thirty years, first serving on the School Board of the town of West-
erly, with which he was long identified. His public career was com-
menced in 1883, and for two years he was on the staff of Gov. Augustus
O. Bourn. Unassuming to an unusual degree, he was nevertheless a
capable public officer in all the important public places he was called
upon to fill. He was Secretary of State from 1891 to 1894, being com-
pelled to retire because of increasing business demands upon him. He
served in succession as a member of both branches of the Legislature,
as Speaker of the House, Lieutenant-Governor, and Governor, and
finally as Representative to Congress. He received the unanimous nom-
ination of his party for a second term in Congress, and would undoubt-
edly have been re-elected had his life been spared — his death occur-
ring only two days before the election, Nov. 5, 191 2. If he had sur-
vived, it is probable that the doors of the United States Senate would
have opened to him.
He was always an active church worker, and devoted a considerable
portion of his time to the Young Men's Christian Associations through-
out the Eastern States, being a member of the Y. M. C. A. Executive
Committee for Massachusetts and Rhode Island. He was made a
deacon of the Seventh-Day Baptist Church of Westerly in 1894, and
for twenty years acted as superintendent of the Sabbath-school. For
fifteen years he was treasurer of the Missionary Society of the Seventh-
Day Baptist denomination.
A striking proof of the impression he made at Washington in the
short period that was vouchsafed to him there may be found in the
Congressional Record of June 17, 191 2. Mr. Richardson, of Alabama,
the Democratic Chairman of the Committee on Pensions, paid the fol-
lowing exceptional tribute to him in an address before the House:
"Mr. Speaker, I regret very much indeed that a very distinguished
member of this House, a member of the Pension Committee, and,
in my opinion, justly and worthily classed among the ablest lawyers on
the floor of this House, from the State of Rhode Island, Mr. Utter, is
not present."
363
THE BROWN GENEALOGY
This is the tribute of an experienced Democratic legislator to a Re-
publican serving his first term, and it is rendered the more striking
by the fact that Air. Utter was not a member of the bar. iff. Utter
was more than a politician --he was a statesman. He spoke through-
out this part of the country in behalf of high causes, and was gaining a
continually wider reputation as a master of the art of easy and effect-
ive address.
The State is poorer for his death. It is no exaggeration to say that
Rhode Island mourns for George Utter, as he was familiarly and affec-
tionately known. It saw in him the best type of public servant, — effi-
cient, modest, and industrious; a man of high ideals, blameless private
life, instinctive friendliness, and stout convictions.
"'Though modest, on his unembarrassed brow,
Nature had written 'gentleman.' "
The following is an extract from the Memorial Address of Senator
Wetmore, of Rhode Island, at Washington, Feb. 22, 1913:
"My acquaintance with Mr. Utter extended over a period of many
years, and I held him in the greatest esteem.
*'He had a high standard of political and civic conduct, which he ex-
emplified in his life.
"He was an orator of ability, always ready to give this gift of his to
the Nation and his State; and it may be truly said his life was short-
ened by complying with the many demands of this nature made upon
him.
"His personality was attractive and his disposition lovable.
"The world is better for his life."
Children, b. at Westerly:
2701. George Benjamin8 Utter, b. Apr. 11, 1881. He was edu-
cated in the schools of Westerly, and graduated from the
Riverview Military Academy at Poughkeepsie, N. Y.,
and from Amherst College in 1905. Immediately after
lii^ graduation he went upon the editorial staff of the
paper with his father, and now, in 1915, is editor and
manager of the Westerly Daily Sun.

Murray spent most of her young life at Unadilla Forks, N. Y., attending
the public school, and completing her education at a select school for
young ladies in the same village, where were taught the higher branches.
She had a special liking for astronomy and botany. From childhood she
was a strong advocate of temperance. She kept in touch with her school-
mates all her life. Her health for many years was not good; and though
she was most solicitous about her friends when ill, she rarely mentioned
her own condition.
Mr. J. H. Utter, at the age of fifteen years, came to New York City
to learn the printer's trade in the office of the Sabballi Recorder, then
edited and published by his brother and subsequent partner in business.
He was connected with that office for some ten years, from 1847 to 1857.
Coming to Westerly in 1858, he bought an interest in the printing-office
then there, from which a newspaper had been issued, irregularly, called
the Literary Echo. That paper was discontinued, and the XarraganseU
Weekly was started in its place, regularly appearing for twenty-eight
years. In 1861 Mr. George B. Utter joined his brother Herbert in pub-
365

lishing the Narraganseti Weekly, and removed to that place the New
York periodicals, and continued them there in connection with the pub-
lication of the local and general newspaper. In 1872 the subscription-
list, patronage, and favor of the Sabbath Recorder was sold and located
at Alfred Center, N. V. Mr. J. H. Utter continued his interest in the
weekly newspaper until his death, in 1SS6. He and his wife are buried

said Court signed by Daniel Coit, Clerk of said Court to lay out an open
highway in Stonington from the bridge called Pawcatuck Bridge up
North Westerly across Puckhungunuck Hill to the town of Voluntown
where it will be most convenient for the public and less prejudicial to
the proprietors, and the same to affix by proper meets and bounds, also
to make a just estimate of the damage done to the particular proprietors.
In pursuance of and obedience to your Honors summons and appoint-
ment, by the writ or precept aforesaid we proceeded to and met at the
house of Col. Joseph Pendleton in Westerly in Rhode Island Government
near said Pawcatuck Bridge on -Monday the 18th day of April i~^j.

Bridge into Stonington aforesaid) and after sworn to the service of lay-
ing out said highway, sundry of the inhabitants of the town of Stoning-
ton and the adjoining proprietors to the land contiguous on or near to
said bridge proceeded with and shewed to us sundry places which some
of them adjudged most convenient and suitable to lay out said highway,
upon which we viewed, surveyed and considered, and heard their pleas
and allegations thereon, and upon mature deliberation of the whole, we
proceeded to lay out said highway as follows — viz —
Beginning at the Westerly end of said Pawcatuck Bridge at the North-
westerly corner thereof, thence West 50 North 2 rods and 4 feet to a mere
stone, thence West 24',0 South 2 rods and 4 foot to a stake, 2 foot

MAP OF STOXIXGTOX HIGHWAY
Key to Map of Stonington Highway
The road from Pawcatuck Bridge to the Voluntown line was laid out in 1753.
But few settlers were then living on this road. The names of many of them were
given in the layout of the road. Its general direction is north, yet it is a very crooked
road. The scaie of the map is one inch to the mile, and milestones are placed on the
right-hand side, and all are still legible except the seventh, which has left on it only
"B." The houses are given as the compiler remembers them after 1837.

Appendix IV.
HISTORY OF THE FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH OF BROOK-
FIELD, N. Y.
[See p. 244 and records that follow.}
One of the principal promoters of this church was Simeon Brown, Jr.,
son of Elder Simeon Brown, of Stonington, Conn. He received a license
to preach in 1775, being the first who had been granted a license from
that church.
He emigrated from Stonington, Conn., May, 1702, with his wife and
children in an ox-cart. This family and others coming from Stonington
from time to time were a nucleus from which this church was formed,
June 28, 1798.
Twenty people met together to consider the organization of a Baptist
church. After drawing up articles of faith, the First Church of Christ in
Brookfield, N. Y., was organized, Oct. 12, 1799. There in the wild woods
and amid howling beasts of prey was erected an altar for the worship of
God. This young church began holding meetings with their spiritual
leader and recognized head in the log house of the minister, Elder Simeon
394
THE BROWN GENEALOGY
Brown, Jr., and there was much interest shown among the scattered set-
tlers. After a few years a meeting-house was built, making a more attract-
ive and comfortable church home for the people. Elder Brown was the
pastor until his death, Aug. 18, 1826. In 1837 a new meeting-house was
built, to be used together with the Seventh-Day Baptist people of Clark-
ville, which is occupied still by both churches in 191 5.
This Brookfield Baptist Church has ordained nine pastors and licensed
twelve to preach the gospel. It has always had a Deacon Brown since its
organization, but one person of that name holding that position at the
same time. During its existence it has always observed monthly com-
munion service. In September, 1801, the church joined the Otsego Bap-
tist Association, always being regular in its representatives and delegates.
Thus by strong faith in God from the beginning, for sixscore years this
church has flourished, and is still holding forth the word of life.
The following extracts are from reminiscences of Elder Brown read at
the Centennial Celebration of this church, July 7, 1898:
"In personal appearance Elder Brown was more than medium height
and well proportioned, being of strong build. He had light brown hair
worn moderately long in thin locks, eyes blue, shaded with heavy eye-
brows and a massive forehead. He was always clean shaven, and had a
pleasing expression. He was fond of the chase, and in his later years
would ride to a known fox trail and often do good shooting in the saddle.
"When he became too feeble to leave his home he held evening serv-
ices in his own house. His last sermon was preached at his house while
sitting in his chair, being too feeble to stand."
This church has had in one hundred and seven years nineteen pastors,
from its organization in 1798 to 1905. The longest pastorates wrere Rev.
Simeon Brown, Jr., from 1798 to 1826, and Rev. Holland Turner, from
1835 to 1845.
The ordinations in this church were: Rev. Simeon Brown, Jr., Oct. 14,
1800; Rev. Joshua Wells, Oct. 18, 1815; Thomas Dye; G. B. Perry, Mar.
5, 1823; Peter Latimer, May 31, 1827; Ferris Scott, July 20, 1858; 0. N.
Fletcher, Nov. 1, 1866; A. V. B. Crumb, Aug. 23, 1876, missionary to
Burmah; R. J. Thompson, Aug. 15, 1883.
The Deacons, from organization to 1905, were: Daniel Main, Nathan
Brown, Bell Lewis, Wait Clarke, Samuel Browne, Thomas E. Craine,
George Crumb, Morgan L. Brown, Don F. Maine, Avory Cole.
The church clerks, from organization to 1905, were: Andrew Coats,
Asa Frink, Jr., Allen Green, Henry Brown, Randall Y. Hibbard, Don F.
Maine, Ellen R. Baldwin, Catherine Crandall, Clifton Craine.

AS YOU GO THROUGH LIFE.
Don't look for the flaws as you go through life;
And even when you find them.
It is wise and kind to be somewhat blind
And look for the virtue behind them.
For the cloudiest night has a hint of light
Somewhere in its shadows hiding;
It is better by far to hunt for a star,
Than the spots on the sun abiding.
The world will never adjust itself
To suit your whims to the letter;
Some things must go wrong your whole life long,
And the sooner you know it the better.
It is folly to fight with the infinite,
And go under at last in the wrestle;
The wiser man shapes into God's plan
As the water shapes into a vessel.
— Ella Wheeler Wilcox.

PART II
MANY OF THE DESCENDANTS OF
CHARLES BROWNE
of Rowley, Mass.
1647-1915
INTRODUCTION.
THE PLANTING OF THE MASSACHUSETTS COLONY AND
INCORPORATION OF THE TOWN OF ROWLEY, MASS.
The early history of every town furnishes incidents worth preserving.
Some of them may be uninteresting to strangers, but to native inhabi-
tants, especially New Englanders, descendants of the Puritan and Pil-
grim Fathers, they all have an interest. To preserve such facts and inci-
dents as are supposed to be more particularly interesting to the descend-
ants of the first settlers of the ancient town of Rowley is our object in
these preface notes. To the self-denial of these first settlers, to their
wisdom, their constancy, their labors, their valor, their perseverance, pri-
vations, piety, and prayers, we owe, under God, and our posterity to the
latest generation will owe, the possession of privileges, civil and religious,
surpassing those of any other people on earth.
Here, in this extensive territory, had God doubtless designed to ex-
hibit a wonderful display of his wisdom, power, and truth through the
agency of a people raised up for that very purpose. But by what instru-
mentality was this mighty work to be accomplished? It was through
the mysterious instrumentality of persecution! Yes, it was the crushing,
grinding influence of the persecutor's hand both in Church and State
which was made instrumental, in the wonder-working Providence of
God, in peopling this our land with godly and learned men, and in rear-
ing our goodly fabrics of freedom, piety, and culture, the blessings of
which are to descend to countless myriads yet unborn, both here and
in distant regions of the earth.
The following sketch of the first settlements of Massachusetts Colony
is taken principally from a letter of Thomas Dudley to Lady Bridger,
Countess of Lincoln, dated March 28, 1631:
"But a few years elapsed after the planting of Plymouth Colony be-
fore the planting of the Massachusetts Colony was projected by several
friends met together in Lincolnshire, England, in 1627, who fell into dis-
course about New England and the planting of the gospel there. After
some deliberation they addressed letters to some one in London and other
places, where it was also deliberately thought upon, and at length so
ripened that in the year 1628 they procured a patent from King Charles
399
THE BROWN GENEALOGY
the First for their planting between the Massachusetts Bay and Charles
River on the south, and the river Merrimack on the north, and three
miles on either side of those rivers and bay; as also for the governing of
those who did or should inhabit within that compass. The same year
Mr. John Endicott and others were sent over and began a settlement at
Salem. The next year, 1629, the company sent over divers ships, with
about three hundred people and some cows, goats, and horses, many of
which arrived safely. The next year, 1630, the company sent over six-
teen ships. One left England in February, one in March, four in April,
eight in May, one in June, one in August; and one other was sent by a
private merchant. These all arrived safely in New England, at Salem.
"On the arrival of Thomas Dudley and others, in June and July,
1630, the colony at Salem was found to be in a sad condition. Above
eighty had died the preceding winter. Of the remainder of the one hun-
dred and eighty persons the company had sent over two years before,
many were weak and sick, having food hardly sufficient to feed them a
fortnight, the company being wholly unable to feed them. The reason
for this was that the provisions shipped for them were taken out of the
ship they were put in; and they who were trusted to ship them in another
failed of doing so and left them behind, whereupon the company was at
a great loss.
"Notwithstanding all the difficulties and embarrassments under
which these people labored, they soon began to look about for places
to settle. They on the whole concluded to plant themselves in different
localities, some in Charlestowrn, some in Boston, some at 'Meadford,'
Watertown, Roxbury, Saugus [now Lynn], and others in Dorchester.
After having fixed upon their places of location and settlement, such as
were able to labor began building, wherein many were interrupted with
sickness, and many died weekly, yea, almost daily. Mr. Ffigginson, one
of the ministers of Salem, died March 15, 1630-31. On September 30
died Mr. Johnson, one of the five of the joint stock company, the Lady
Arabella, his wife, having died a month before. This gentlemen was a
prime man, having the best estate of any. Within a month afterwards
died Mr. Rossiter, one of the assistants, so that now there were left, of
the five undertakers of the project, but the governor [Winthrop], Sir
Richard Saltonstall, and Thomas Dudley, Mr. Revil having returned to
England. The natural causes of so many deaths seemed to be the want
of warm lodging and good diet, to which they had been accustomed at
home, and the sudden increase of heat into which they had come who
400
INTRODUCTION
were landed here in the summer. Those only, these last two years, died
of fevers who landed in June and July. Those of the Plymouth Colony
who landed in winter died of the scurvy."
Notwithstanding the many and great discouragements under which
the first settlers of the Massachusetts Colony labored, they were pros-
perously increased by great numbers of emigrants from England, who
arrived from year to year. For several years next after 1631 about
twenty ships with passengers arrived each year. The number of in-
habitants was so increased that they were forced to look out for new plan-
tations every year, so that within a few years every desirable place on
the seacoast fit for a plantation was taken up. On the arrival of Mr.
Ezekiel Rogers, with about twenty families, in December, 1638, the
aforenamed towns of Salem, Charlestown, Boston, Medford, Water-
town, Roxbury, Lynn, and Dorchester, together with Cambridge,
Ipswich, Newbury, Weymouth, Hingham, Concord, Dedham, and Brain-
tree, were all occupied. They therefore spent the winter in Salem, im-
proving the time in looking out a place for a plantation.
Mr. Rogers was a man of great note in England for his zeal, piety, and
brilliant abilities. Mr. Eaton and Mr. Davenport exerted themselves,
therefore, to persuade him and his company to proceed to New Haven,
Conn., and settle with them. He, feeling his responsibility to many per-
sons of "quality in England who depended on him to choose a fit place
for them," consulted with the ministers of Massachusetts. By their
advice he and his people concluded to take a place between Ipswich
and Newbury, and these towns having granted some farms on this tract,
Mr. Rogers purchased them at the price of £800.
But Mr. Davenport and Mr. Eaton and their people were so zealous
to obtain Mr. Rogers and his flock that they sent on a messenger with
letters to obtain them if possible. Mr. Rogers again desired the min-
isters to assemble. He laid before them his letters from New Haven.
Accordingly, after this consultation, he sent them their final answer, and
then came with his people to this place, — at first called "Mr. Rogers'
Plantation," afterwards Rowley; so called from Rowley in Yorkshire,
England, where he and some of his people had lived. The precise time of
their removal to Rowley is not known, but it was probably as early as
the last of April or the first of May, 1639.
The act of incorporation is in the following words: "4th day of the 7th
month, 1639.— Ordered, that Mr. Ezekiel Rogers' plantation shall be
called Rowley."
401
THE BROWN GENEALOGY
Mr. Rogers brought over with him from England but about twenty
families, as before stated. Before coming to Rowley, however, he had
increased his company to about sixty families. These people, it appears,
labored together for nearly five years, from the time they commenced a
settlement in the place; no man holding land in severalty from the com-
pany until after they had, probably, cleared up the land on each side of
the brook that runs through the central part of what is the first parish
of Rowley.
"In 1643," says Winthrop, "our supplies from England failing much,
men began to look about them, and fell to a manufacture of cotton,
whereof we had in store from Barbadoes, and of hemp and flax, wherein
Rowley, to our great commendation, exceeded all other towns."
As early as 1643, John Pearson, a clothier, moved into Rowley, and
erected the first fulling-mill in New England. Edward Johnson, one of
the first settlers of Woburn, in his "Wonder-working Providence,"
speaking of the first settlers of Rowley, says: "They consisted of about
threescore families; these people being very industrious every way, soon
built as many houses, and were the first people that set upon making
of cloth in this western world; for which end they built a fulling-mill,
and caused their little ones to be very diligent in spinning cotton and
wool, many of them having been clothiers in England."
Mr. Rogers had an annual salary of £60. The first meeting-house was
probably built in 1639, so zealous were the Puritans, and so zealous were
their genuine descendants, to make the attainment of a place of worship
the object of their first concern. Mr. Rogers was a man of undoubted
and ardent piety and sound learning, zealous and persevering in his
efforts to advance the cause of truth and holiness, and of great influence.
By his will, bearing date April 17, 1660, Mr. Rogers gave lands of consid-
erable value to the church and the town of Rowley, "for the better
enabling them to carry on the ministry for ever."
Rowley was no less active in war than in peace, for in the expedition
againsl Quebec, in 1690, the town furnished one captain, one lieutenant,
and thirty non-commissioned officers and privates.
Sept. 5, 1839, was set apart in pursuance of a vote of the town for the
purpose of celebrating the second centennial anniversary of the settle-
ment of Rowley. Appropriate addresses were delivered by the Rev. Mr.
Bradford and Thomas E. Payson, Esq. A very imposing procession was
formed by the chief marshal. The order of march was as follows:

Henry Kirk Brown (692), the preceding, m. Lydia Louisa Udall (133).
Mr. Brown was twelve years old when he made what may be called his
first serious attempt in art; for those instinctive tastes converted the
farmer boy of Leyden, Mass., into a painter and sculptor of great re-
nown. Encouraged by his mother, he had ever traced those impulses
which gave direction to his life to her. In the most primitive way he
sketched with pencil the head of an old, sightless man of nearly a hun-
dred winters to whom he had been reading stories. Then the mother fur-
nished him with some old linen, which served as canvas for a painting.
With these rude materials he produced what was regarded with ad-
miring wonder,— a perfect representation of the old man. The effort was
in the highest degree original, for the youth had never seen a portrait.
Mr. Brown's first year abroad was spent in Florence. The summer
months of 1845 were passed in Naples and its neighborhood. During the
other three years of his absence his home was in Rome. Here he began
to feel more than ever before the true dignity and importance of art.
'I he works of Raphael and Michael Angelo, and especially the wonders
of < rrecian art, now spread out before him and inspired him anew. Here

THE BROWN GENEALOGY
was a standard of unerring accuracy. The face and form, of the North
American Indian seem to have won a special place in his regard, and to
study these he visited the resorts of the Red Man in the distant North-
west, and later carefully explored the invaluable treasures of the Indian
Department at Washington.
In so short a sketch cannot be given the full scope of his marvelous
work in painting and sculpture. To art he devoted his life with the fervor
and fidelity of a true love. His studies were mainly among the purest
and best remains of antique, assiduously compared with living nature.

Honored Father:
After my duty presented to you with my wifes these are to signify to you that we
are all in health through divine mercy as I hope you and yours are. I should be very
glad if it might be my lot to live nearer to you and though I now live in a place very
pleasant for situation yet by reason of the repeated troubles with the Indians I should
be very glad if it would please God to open a door of opportunity for my doing service
in some other place where I mi^ht live without fear of the enemy if you could be any
way instrumental of my being in such a place I should be very thankful to you sir.
If you know of any place near you which is destitute of a minister where there may
be a comfortable- settlement with safety, I desire you will improve your interest for
me as you shall think proper. I should be glad to hear from you as often as you have
oppertunitie to write to me. This with duty to yourself and mother with love to
brother Ebenezer and Brother Pedge and sister with due respects to my other Rela-
tives is what offers at present from your obedient son and servant
Matthew Short.
I had a son born the 2d of March last part whome I have named Ebenezer.

The following is his military record in the Civil War: Mr. Brown
enlisted at Cortland, Aug. 9, 1862, with his two brothers mentioned be-
fore. He was mustered out July 10, 1865, having served two years,
eleven months, and one day in Co. D, 157th Regt., N. Y. Vols. He was
musician. He served in 1st Brig., 3d Div., nth Corps, O. O. Howard
Commander of Corps, Carl Schurz Commander of Division, Col. P. P.
Brown Commander of Regiment. He was at Fredericksburg, Dec, 1862;
Chancellorsville, May, 1863, when the loss was one hundred and five
killed, wounded, and prisoners; Gettysburg, July, 1863; double-quicked
eight miles to get there the first day of the battle, and was on battle-
field at 12 m., the company being cut to pieces in three hours and driven
back to Cemetery Hill at 3 p.m., with seventy men and two officers, — the
Colonel and Lieutenant McWilliams. In Aug., 1863, he was in Charles-
ton, S. C, at the siege of Forts Sumter and Wagner. His regiment was
recruited and sent to Florida to participate in battle in Jan., 1864;
served on St. John's River, from Jacksonville to Polatki; returned to
Charleston, Oct., 1864, to guard six hundred Rebel prisoners put under

fire of their own (Rebel) guns — not a very pleasant situation. About
March, 1865, he went with General Potter — one brigade of white and
one brigade of colored troops — to Georgetown; thence to the interior
of So. Carolina, to burn cotton and rosin which Sherman had failed to
get --loss to enemy about $5,000,000 by fire, including the spectacle
of fifty-two locomotives and three hundred loaded freight-cars for Lee's
army. These cars and engines were sent to a junction of roads to escape
Sherman. This march, with the experience of fighting night and day with
guerillas, was the worst of Mr. Brown's three years' experience. At the
Battle of Sumterville, where they won out, they heard of Lee's sur-
render, and tired a salute from a captured Rebel battery. Returning to
Charleston, he was mustered out of the United States service, and
reached Syracuse, N. Y., for his final muster out Aug. 1, 1865. Mr.
Brown attended the fiftieth anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg,
July 1 to 4, I9I3-

Nash was captain. They went around Cape Horn into the Pacific Ocean
and were gone twenty-nine months. As the voyage was not very success-
ful, his share was but Si 12. He shipped for a second voyage on the
Vermont, during which the bark was wrecked on Amsterdam Island.
The captain was lost, but all the crew were saved. He then became a
master mariner, for several years sailing the Elector. After sixteen years
as captain, he retired from seafaring life, and in 1869 settled in Groton,
Conn., buying the fine residence and farm, situated a mile from Groton
Ferry, formerly the property of Mr. Perry." [The above was extracted
by Miss Meech from a book of New London County owned by Mrs.
Brown.]
She added that Mr. Brown was a man of extraordinary courage and
strong character, generous and unselfish, and a great worker. Her
brother, who was his son-in-law, became much attached to him in the
short space of time he knew him intimately, afier his marriage to his dau.
He of course had been acquainted with him all his life and appreciated
his many good qualities, but he says he never really knew the man until
he lived with him in his own house. He says of such men our country
should be proud — they are its backbone. Captain Brown never let
voting-day pass without casting his vote for the best man. •

THE LATHAM FAMILY.*
Miss Holman, in ''The Journal of American History," gives some
account of the Latham family in England as follows: "It was the Latham
family which exerted for so many years such a powerful influence in
Lancashire County, England. Lewis Latham was Sergeant Falconer to
Charles the First from 1627 until his death, in 1655. The ancestral estate
remained in the possession of the family for four hundred years. . . .
"When Isabella Latham married the Earl of Derby, she was the
greatest heiress of Lancashire, and her husband assumed the Latham
coat-of-arms.
"The late J. G. Harris, a pay director of the United States Navy,
. . . after long research and careful study, came to the conclusion that
Cary Latham [one of the first settlers of New London] was a son of the
William Latham who came over in the Mayflower as a youth, in charge of
Governor Carver. Although he is not mentioned in the ship's company
his passage is vouched for in Bradford's History.
"William Latham was at Duxbury in 1637 and at Marshfield from
1643 to 1648, and from there he sailed to the Bahamas, where he later
died."
The Latham family in England has been traced back to the Danish

Conquest it is said. It is also said that the American emigrants of the
name came from Derbyshire.
Cary Latham was among the first five, after Governor Winthrop, to
have house-lots laid out to them in New London, Conn. These lots were
located northwest of Winthrop's Neck, on Main and William Streets.
He came to New London from Massachusetts. In 1649 he had a little
difficulty with a constable -- he, Robert Bedell, and Isaac Willy being
accused of letting go an Indian intrusted to their charge. He was one of
those who helped build the "Old Town Mill," in 1650. In 1653 he sold
the land and unfinished house, originally the property of Philip Taber,
his brother-in-law, who came to New London, in 1651, from "Martin's
Vineyard." In 1654 he was awarded a lease and monopoly of the ferry
over the Pequot River at the town of Pequot [now Thames River and New
London] for fifty years. He built a house east of the river before October,
1655, and became the first resident of what is now called Groton Bank.
His home occupied the site of the Mitchell house, now standing. He
owned a large tract of land extending south to the salt water, a point of
kind then called Shinnecosset Neck, but now Eastern Point. The
ancient name still clings to the school district there located. He also
owned land in the locality now called Mystic. His large land-grants
enriched his descendants. He was a man of sterling worth, of value and
strength to the community, serving sixteen years as Selectman, and was
six times elected to the General Court, from May, 1664, to 1670. He m.

Seott. He cleared the land and here made his home with his family until
the year 1842, when he removed to the village of Scott. He was a man
of mechanic al conception, and built the first sawmill in that part of the
country, sawing the timber into lumber for sale and custom work. He
was a well-educated man for that day and age, and a man of great
strength of character, especially noted for his eccentricities. He under-
stood the Bible and dictionary better than the average laboring-man of
his day, and as well as many students of to-day. He was a great favorite

brother Jesse, who would sit by the hour, when opportunity presented,
and listen to his tales from the "Arabian Nights" and other book-lore
of "ye olden time." He would explain the mysteries of phrenology, in
which he was much interested. In the early days of these pioneers
their children who attended school had to follow a trail through the
dense forest by marked trees. Their hardships and privations were
many, and their pleasures and luxuries were few. No one can fully
realize the changes that have been wrought and the myriad of improve-
ments that have been made since his life began. At this mature age,
with a life-assured competency, he lived as he chose. He was also a very
good carpenter, and when he felt the need of physical exercise he took
it at the bench or with the broad axe, as heavy timbers used in those
days had to be hewed to proper dimensions. After the death of his wife,
in 1856, he left his occupation at the sawmill and took up his residence
with his daughter, Elizabeth Brown Grout, at "Grout's Mills," one mile
west of the village of Scott, Sylvanus N. Grout, his son-in-law, being
proprietor of the flouring mills. He lived with his daughter until his
death, which occurred July 3, 1881. After his removal from No. Groton,
in 1818, the rest of his life was spent in Scott, where all of his children
were born.

Spafford; he cleared the land and cultivated the same until his death,
Dec. 21, 1854. John Grout, Jr., was b. there; m. Sarah M. Brown, of

MY FINAL WORD.
To my Successor.
Here is a toast I want to drink to a fellow I '11 never know;
To the fellow who 's going to take my place when it 's time for me to go.
I 've wondered what kind of a chap he'll be, and I 've wished I could
take his hand,
Just to whisper "I wish you well, old man," in a way that he 'd under-
stand;
I 'd like to give him the cheering word that I 've longed at times to hear;
I 'd like to give him the warm hand-clasp, whenever a friend seems near.
I 've learned my knowledge by sheer hard work, and I wish I could pass
it on
To the fellow who '11 come to take my place some day when I am gone.
Will he see all the sad mistakes I 've made, and note all the battles lost?
Will he ever guess of the tears they caused, or the heartaches which they
have cost?
Will he gaze through the failures and fruitless toil to the underlying plan,
And catch a glimpse of the real intent and the heart of the vanquished
man?
I dare to hope he may pause some day as he toils as I have wrought,
And gain some strength for his weary task from the battles which I have
fought.
But I 've only the task itself to leave with the cares for him to face,
And never a cheering word may speak to the fellow who '11 take my place.
Then here 's to your health, Old Chap ! I drink as a bridegroom to his
bride;
I leave an unfinished task for you — but God knows how I tried!
I 've dreamed my dreams as all men do, but never a one came true;
And my prayer to-day is that all the dreams may be realized by you.
And we '11 meet some day in the great unknown, out in the realm of space;
You '11 know my clasp as I take your hand and gaze in your tired face.
Then all our failures will be success in the light of the new-found dawn;
So I 'm drinking your health, Old Chap, who '11 take my place when
I 'm gone.
Louis E. Thayer.
