Lucy Palmer (Brown) Armstrong New London, Conn. / BROWN GENEALOGY OF MANY OF THE descendants of Thomas^ John, and Eleazer Brown SONS OF Thomas and Mary (Newhall) Brown OF LYNN, MASS. 1628 — 1907 BY CYRUS HENRY BROWN (#260) BOSTON THE EVERETT PRESS COMPANY 1907 To My Only Surviving Aunt LUCY PALMER (BROWN) ARMSTRONG (258) This Volume is Affectionately Dedicated By the Author , (^^^,/p^r^-^^^-^^Z^, PREFACE. The study of family history is a subject growing in importance and in- terest from year to year, as the Hnes become more widely separated, and the individuals from whom reliable data may be obtained drift apart, and the "old homestead" becomes a memory of the past. Family traditions are easily lost in this era of hustling commercialism, and in order to pre- serve for future generations the records of the past and present the Familv Record has become a necessity, and well-nigh indispensable as a source of information. No one unacquainted with the detail of such an effort can fully appreciate the labor and time involved in the undertaking. Twelve years ago the compiler became much interested in collecting family records of the Brown family, with no thought of going further back than his great-grandfathers. As the work grew and others became inter- ested, -a starting-point was made with Thomas Brown, born in 1628, and his wife Mary Newhall, born in 1637, both of Lynn, Mass. Three of their sons, Thomas, John, and Eleazer, came to Stonington, Conn., about 1688. The town of Stonington was divided in 1807, ^-ud North Stonington was set off, with 2,700 inhabitants. The three brothers were in the southern part of North Stonington. From Wheeler's "History of Stonington" are taken four hundred numbers of the early descendants of the Brown family, taken from the town records of Stonington. There were many others also whose identity is lost, not being found on the Stonington town records. The de- scendants of these three brothers lived for about one hundred years in Stonington, removing to other towns adjacent in Connecticut and espe- cially New York State, which at that early date was comparatively a wilder- ness. While the greatest care has been taken to avoid errors, some undoubtedly have crept in, owing in part to the illegibility of some letters received; but subscribers may rest assured that the lines of descent are accurately given in all cases, and none has been inserted without proof. It is hoped that the volume will help to promote our family associations and bring in closer touch those of our kindred who are far aw'ay — and those near us, but still unknown. Some have written portions of the work in full; many have furnished facts and statistics that have been wrought into it. The author has been PREFACE assisted in this work by many, among whom should be mentioned Charles N. Brown, Esq., of Madison, Wis., who has been willing to sacrifice time and money in the effort to collect records and materially assist to complete the same for publication. His data begin with number 1216 and cover 443 pages of typewritten records which he has furnished gratuitously for this Genealogy. Mr. and Mrs. B. A. Armstrong, of New London, Conn., in 1895 suggested the compiling of these records, and have furnished financial aid towards the success of this work, and to them much credit is due. Mr, . S. Eugene Brown, of Poolville, N. Y., has rendered valuable assistance. Mr. Herbert F. Bennett, Bristol, R. I.; Mr. Hosmer A. Brown, Brownsdale, Minn.; Mr. John Wheeler Brown, Blue Mound, 111.; Miss Sarah A. Deni- son. Mystic, Conn.; Miss Ellen R. Baldwin, Westerly, R. I., formerly of Brookfield, N. Y.; James R. W^alsh, Esq., St. Paul, Minn., have rendered financial support. Space forbids mentioning by name the hundreds who have furnished records of one or several families. Many who look through this Record will be transported on the silent wings of memory to the home of their youth, with kindred and friends around them, and live over again those days they will never forget. ABBREVIATIONS. b., born. d., died. dau., daughter. m., married, m. (i), married first; m. (2), married second, etc. res., resides, or residence. unm., unmarried. Wheeler, Wheeler's "History of Stonington." There are other abbreviations in the book, but well known to everybody EXPLANATIONS. After the name of a parent \vill follow their original number in paren- theses; by turning backward, his or her number will be found with their parents. The children of parents who have numbers in parentheses at the right of their names can be found by corresponding numbers carried forward. After the name of the parents of the head of a family there will follow in brackets the names of the ancestors in genealogical order. The larger part of these records was obtained by correspondence, but town records, family Bibles, and tombstones have contributed much to these data. The Brown Genealogy. I. Thomas Brown, b., Lynn, Mass., 1628. His father was Nicholas Brown, who mentions his wife Ehzabeth and Brother Preserve in his will. Nicholas was the son of Edward Brown and Jane Leids, of Inkborrow, Worcestershire, England. Mary Newhall, the wife of Thomas Brown, was the dau. of Thomas Newhall, of Lynn, Mass. Her father was one of the earliest settlers in Lynn, and lived on the east side of Federal Street, a few rods south of the mill brook, owning all the land on that side between the turnpike and Marion Street. [Lynn, Lewis & Newhall, p. 482.] Mary Newhall, b. about 1637, m. Thomas Browne, of Lynn, who was b. about 1628, according to his deposition taken July 11, 1666. [Essex Co. Court Papers, B. XHL, L. 62.] He d. Aug. 28, 1693. His widow, Mary, was appointed admin- istratrix, Oct. 9, 1683, on the same day the nuncupative 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. Norwood. Two depositions cited by Waters, pp. 15 and 16, show her age. Her name first appears in records as wife of Thomas Browne in 1658. "Her husband was a dish-turner and was said to be of Grawton, Middlesex, in June, 1663, when he bought of William Longley his house lot (6 acres), bounded E. with lands of Richard Haven, W. with land of John Newhall, S. by Mill Street, and N. by the common." — Woters, p. 16. The Norwood referred to in the will of Thomas Brown was his dau. Mary (9), who m. Thomas Norwood, Aug. 24, 1685, and had six children: Francis, Ebenezer, Mary, Thomas, Mary, and Jonathan.

Feb. i, 1676; bought out the rights of his three brothers, who came to Stonington and lived and died on the old Brown homestead in Lynn. Eight of this family of children died young and unmarried. Seven of them reached maturity. Four of them remained in Massachusetts, while three of them came to Stonington, Conn., before 1688. They purchased and received large tracts of land, most of which was located in the present town of North Stonington, bounded as follows: the western boundary was nearly all on Ossekonk Swamp, the northern bounds of which extended from the Ossekonk brook on the west to Shunnock River on the east, joining on the north 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 Richard- son's possessions; on the south by the Palmer family land and Miner terri- tory; and on the west by the Wheeler family land up to the said Ossekonk Swamp. Subsequent sales and purchases made by the Brown brothers, and the distribution of these lands as they and their successors have de- parted this life, have greatly changed their original possessions, and other families now dwell upon the same. John Brown (8) located his residence west of the site of the old Roswell Brown tavern years before the New London and Providence turnpike was built. 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. Before the New London and Providence turnpike was built a road passed by this ancient burying-ground, but after the building of the "pike" it was discontinued, making it one of the most se- cluded places that can be found to bury the dead. No interments have been made here for many years. Here are interred many of the early settlers, without headstones, and without any doubt two-of the pioneers, Thomas (2) and John (8), though it is to be regretted no headstones mark their last resting-place. This burying-place is on lands they originally purchased. Here are interred Ichabod Brown (309) and his wife Lucy (Palmer) Brown and many of their children, and all marked with marble headstones; also THE BROWN GENEALOGY. Roswell Brown (171), who m. Esther Williams (31); Thatcher Brown (175), who m., after the death of his brother Roswell, his widow Esther Brown, nee Williams; Jedediah Brown (238) and his three wives. The name Williams, that of the great-grandmother of the compiler, is perpetuated by her de- scendants through many families down to Number 697. The remains of many have been removed to the Union Cemetery, and to Elm Grove Cemetery, Mystic, Conn.; and it is hoped that all others that are marked with headstones will be removed at no distant day to the Union Cemetery. Thomas Brown (2), son of Thomas Brown and Mary Newhall, of Lynn, Mass., b. Lynn. He d., Stonington, Dec. 27, 1723; interred at the Cedar Swamp, on lands first purchased by the three Brown brothers, and probably was among the first who were interred there. The grave is unmarked. He m. Hannah Collins, Feb. 8, 1677. He built his house about forty rods north- west of the " Pond Place" house on the Anguilla Road and thirty rods west of the road. The cellar is filled six feet above the ground with a large quan- tity of stones; and down the hill is a fine living spring of water, a natural place for a pioneer to build his house. His ten children, without doubt, were born here. Twenty-one months before his death he deeded to his son Daniel (24) a large tract of land one mile east from his homestead.

Headstones were erected to their graves by the late Daniel Brown (386). Probably these were the first interments in these grounds. He was a farmer and stock-raiser.

Site of P^leazer Brown's (11) House, witli the Brown Cemetery in the Background In this quiet place, above the ashes of the lontr-tinie dead are the tablets and monuments of many of the descendants of Eleazer Brown (II) and Ann Pendleton, his wife; and James Brown (38) and Elizabeth Randall, his wife. The monument of Elder Simeon Brown, reminding the passer-by of his long ministerial service, also serves as a reminder of the obligations which an illus- trious ancestry imposes upon their descendants, even to remote lands and to remote generations. Here are interred the children of Elder Simeon, except Elder Simeon, Jr., who is interred in Brookfield, N. Y.; James Brown and wife, and a number of his children and grandchildren ; Dolly Brown and husband, Asa Baldwin ; Jeptha Brown, wife and children ; Dea. Josiah and wife, Deborah Griffin, and many of their descendants; Mathew Brown and wife, Elizabeth, and their son Mathew and wife, Lucy A.

In 1722 his father, Thomas (2), deeded to his son a tract of land about one mile east from his homestead [see origi- nal Deed, Appendix II.], nine months after his marriage to Mary Breed. Here Daniel and Mary built their house. The original site of the house is seen by the cut, where on the same spot Nathan (60), his son, erected a new house. -^^ We find that Daniel (24) removed to the north part of the town, near his son Capt. Christopher (59). He was active in church work, living in the immediate vicinity where the First Baptist Meeting-house was built; in Stonington he and Thomas Holmes gave the land on which it was erected. The church was organized in 1743. Probably the first interments on the Christopher Brown farm were his first wife, Mary (Breed) Brown, in 1744; afterwards, his second wife. Prudence, in 1768; Daniel, in 1771. Their headstones were imported from England. This burying-ground is enclosed by a heavy stone wall. Years ago this enclosure of the dead is said to have 13 THE BROWN GENEALOGY been well kept; at present the grounds need attention, where these honored dead rest. Children: 54. Samuel, b.

His wife Elizabeth was the dau. of John Randall and Abigail , whose family name and birth does not appear on record. She was the granddau. of John Randall, the progenitor of the Randall family of Westerly, R. I., and Stonington, Conn. His name first appears at New- port, R. I., from which place he came to Westerly as early as 1667, where the remainder of his life was spent. The Randall land was about four miles northeast of Stonington Borough, known as Angwilla and considered the finest land of the tow^n. These lands join on the north the lands of Thomas Brown (2), and have been in the Randall name as late as 1875. These 14 THE BROWN GENEALOGY farms now, in 1906, are mostly owned by Elias Miner (1164) and his sons. The Randall families were highly respected and progressive, ranking high in moral character, and prominent citizens of the town. Children, b. Stonington: 69. James, Jr., b. Jan. 29, 1719; d.

During his youth and young manhood, and before he reached his majority, he be- came acquainted with Miss Fear Sturgess, of Yarmouth, Mass., whose house he often visited with increasing pleasure, until they were married, Nov. 21, 1698. Miss Sturgess was the dau. of Edward Sturgess, who came to this country from England to Charlestown, Mass., in 1634, and settled in Yarmouth. Mr. Holmes bought large tracts of land in Stonington, Conn., now No. Stonington, near Wyassup Pond, upon which he built a dwelling- house which he occupied during life. They had nine children.

He was a private in Capt. James Arnold's company, the Ninth Continentals, and in Col. David Wooster's regiment. This regiment was raised in April and May, 1775, marched to New York in June, and encamped at Haarlem Sept. 28. Later it was in the Northern Department, operating along Lakes George and Champlain, assisted in the reduction of St. Johns in October, and afterwards proceeded to Montreal. He was discharged Nov. 28, 1775. He removed to Brook- field, Madison County, New York, about 1800, and settled on the farm afterwards owned by his son Williams. He d. Jan. 15, 1818, and his wife, Nov. 25, 1816. Both are buried in the private burial-lot of the family on the old homestead, as is also their daughter Silence.

Daniel Brown (55) [Daniel (24), Thomas (2), Thomas], b., Stonington, Conn., Mar. 20, 1725. Resided in Stonington until his removal to Brookfield, N. Y. By some of his descendants he is said to have been a Quaker; by others, to have been a British officer. It is quite certain that neither of these conditions is correct. In Oct., 1763, the Assembly of Con- necticut among its acts established:" Mr. Daniel Brown, jun., to be Lieuten- ant of the 6th company or trainband in the town of Stonington." [XII. Conn. Col. Rec, p. 195]. In Oct., 1769, the Assembly estabhshed him as captain in the same company. [XIII. Conn. Col. Rec, p. 244.] No other person is known who could have been the person referred to in the acts in question. He is referred to as Capt. Daniel in the records of those families who have N 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 County, N. Y., locating there in 1791, his house having been com- menced 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 published by D. Mason & Co., of Syracuse, 1880, and in Mrs. Hammond's "History of Madison County." He m., first, in Stonington, Theody Park, of Groton, Conn., by whom he had two children: 178. Daniel, b.

Such was their extraordinary stature that it was said that Capt. Brown had "sixty feet of daughters." One of his waggish descendants used to say, by way of explanation, that Capt. Brown had six daughters^ each ten feet in height. Tales are still told among their descend- ants of the wonderful strength of Isaac and of the wonderful vitality of Nathan. On one occasion Nathan was caught under a fallen tree. His brother alone lifted the tree which five men were unable to move, and Nathan, although terribly injured, and given up by the doctors, was out in six weeks. A tall clock which certainly belonged to Nathan, and probably belonged to his father, is in the possession of Ralph W. Brown, of Norwalk, O. One of the descendants, being asked as to the religious beliefs of the family, says: "Few of the family have connected themselves with any spe- cial church denomination. But the one motto which has passed from father to son down through the years, painted on a silver background with letters of gold, set with diamonds, rubies, and precious stones, is, ' Do unto others as ye would others should do unto you.' Impressed on the mind, and in- stilled in the heart, this makes a pretty good religion." Children, all b. in Stonington: 179. Abigail, b. Feb. 11, 1754; d. Feb. 18, 1810; m. a Coats. 180. Desire, b.

It is four miles from Westerly, R. I., on the No. Stonington road. This house and farm have always been occupied by some member of the Brown family, and were a part of the original purchase, and deeded by Thomas (2) to his son Daniel (24).

[See Appendix I.] Two elderly ladies now living, in 1906, remember her as a stately and hand- some woman of strong personality and superior executive ability. From 24 THE BROWN GENEALOGY this can be inferred — and it is believed the inference is right — that she was a very superior woman in intellect and sweetness of disposition. No ordinary woman could have left after her death that secret and potent in- fluence which keeps a name alive in a family through so many generations. The occurrence of the name in so many families is the very strongest evi- dence of her great worth, her marked individuality and character. Her blood flows in her descendants, and they recognize and glory in the fact by preserving her maiden name. It is noticeable, as it appears even to the present time. Children, b. Stonington: 231.

She was an affectionate mother and a most estimable woman, and was loved by all who had her acquaintance. Dea. Brown spent his whole life in his native town, and was a farmer and tradesman, dealer in poultry and wool. The townspeople found in him an honest, trustworthy man from whom to purchase their products. His busi- ness also took him beyond the limits of the town, thus he was universally known in adjacent towns. In 1857 and i860 he was chosen to represent the town in the General Assembly of the State. He was also on the Board of Selectmen of the town; deacon of the Second Baptist Church of his native town, and a zealous Christian worker; a man of strong character, high ideals, and unwavering devotion to duty, generous and charitable. Among the last acts of his public duties were to assist in putting in the bank wall and hanging the gates in front of the Union Cemetery, which is the place of in- terment of many of the descendants of the three Brown brothers.

Oliver Smith com- manding; Brigadier-Gen. Saltinstall's Brigade. He enlisted Sept. 8, 1776; discharged Nov. 17, 1776; in the campaign around New York. Joshua Brown (77) bought his farm of Robert Williams in 1786, and from the north part of the town came here to live, with his family. There was only a partially built house on the farm. The east half was used for a dwelling; the west part, not completed, sheltered the cattle in cold weather. This part, later, was finished with two stories in front and a slanting roof on the back. Some time later, the rear was built up to compare with the front, as seen in the picture. In this house lived their son Randall (289), who m. Sally Palmer; and a few years later his son Randall, Jr. (3837), who m. Mary A. Holmes, went to housekeeping here. The name Randall has come down from one generation to the next from Elizabeth Randall, b. July 4, 1696, the mother of Joshua Brown. This house was removed in 1878, and a house with all modern improvements adorns this beautiful location. On this farm have lived the direct descendants of Joshua and Joannah (Rogers) Brown for one hundred and twenty years. The present owners and occu- pants, in 1906, are Jeremiah (Jerry) H. (3846), Fanny Ella (3849), who m. Charles B. Palmer, also the widow of Frederic H. (3850), Mrs. Amelia (Shaffer) Brown. Joshua Brown and his son Randall had slaves on this farm, and they cleared a piece of land and walled it in for a garden that was 3° THE BROWN GENEALOGY given the slaves to cultivate; it is seen at the northeast of the house, some distance away.

Died at his residence in Pittstown, N. Y., on Saturday the nth day of June, inst., of apoplexy, Jonathan Brown, Esq., aged eighty-three years, a venerable patriot of the Revolution and one of the earliest settlers of Rensselaer county. Judge Brown was a native of Stonington, Conn., and emigrated at an early period to the State of New York, and settled in Pittstown, in this county, previous to the Revolutionary War. When this eventful and glorious struggle commenced which resulted in the estab- lishment of our national independence, he did not hesitate to serve his country in the capacity of a soldier. When he entered the army he held an ensign's commission in a company attached to the regiment commanded by Col. Anthony Van Schaik, stationed during Burgoyne's celebrated campaign, in 1777, on Van Schaik's Island, near the confluence of the Hud- son and Mohawk rivers, opposite the village of Lansingburgh. In the month of Au- gust of that year liis command was ordered to aid General Stark, and he had the good fortune to be present at the battle of Bennington. He was also present at the battle of Bemis Heights, and the surrender of Burgoyne, which occurred during the same cam- paign. At the close of the war he received a Major's commission by the recommenda- tion of General Washington. Judge Brown held the office of Sheriff of Albany county under the old organization of counties. He afterwards repeatedly represented the county of Rensselaer in our State Legislature, and was many years Judge of our County Courts. He was also for a long period the agent of General Ten Broek and General Rensselaer for the sale of manor lands.

BROWN I 'm sitting to-night in my prairie home, And the purple twilight flings Its dusky folds round the sadden'd soul Where memory sits, and sings 47 THE BROWN GENEALOGY Of the days of my sunny-hearted youth, That passed on downy wings. She brings me dreams of my far-off home: The tree close up by the door; I bend my ear to catch the sound Of the waterfall's muffled roar; And watch, where the lilies at anchor ride, For the dip of the flashing oar. I forget that beneath the homestead roof Stranger voices the echoes awake. 'T is a dream — the loved and the lost are there. With heart too full to speak, Again I kiss the lines of care On brow and furrowed cheek. My brother, with his golden hair Swept back from a brow like light; How plain, across the mists of years, He rises to my sight! His Hps still wear their olden smile. His eye its sunny Ught. One night his feet grew weary. He closed his earnest eyes; And when morning walked the hilltops He was singing in Paradise. And echoes roll round my haunted soul From out the starry skies. And one — Oh! softly speak her name, .\nd reverently, and low; She walks upon eternal hills Where stainless hlies blow; But just within the pearly gates She waits for me, I know. Her saintly face shines on me still Through the twilight calm and clear; I bend my ear to the sighing wind. Her voice I seem to hear; It whispers "Peace" to my waiting soul. And I know that she is near. Ah well, I shall meet them all again When I reach that shore unknown. With its wondrous city, pearly gates. And everlasting throne.

Dr. Lewis was not only a physician of renown, but the "beloved physician," and as a man and neighbor he was above reproach, kind and benevolent; his home was radiant with good cheer and sunshine. He was of commanding presence, his fine face expressing his strength of character and keen intellect. His wife was educated in the public schools, and in Miss Whiting's School for Young Ladies, in Charlestown, Mass., and the Connecticut Literary Institution at Sufifield, Conn. She was a true, loving companion, that "looked well to the ways of her household." In person she was very erect, with a graceful form, her hair untouched by age; unsel- fish in character, noble and consistent. Above all, both were earnest Chris- tians, members of the Seventh Day Baptist Church of Westerly. They passed away ten months apart, the community sustaining an irreparable loss. Children, b.

Brown: Enlisted Aug. 11, 1862, No. Stoning- ton, Co. G, 2ist Conn. Regt. Vol.; mustered into United States service at Norwich, Conn., Sept. 5, as 2d Sergeant. Regiment assigned to 9th Army Corps Oct. 9, at Pleasant Valley, Md. Oct. 28 the long march from Pleasant Valley to Falmouth, Va., began (175 miles in twelve days). Without tents during the entire winter, exposed to terrible storms, and lying at night on the frozen ground or in the mud of Virginia, with no covering other than blankets, very scanty and thin, was an experience which tested the mettle and tried to the utmost the endurance of every man — and planted the seeds of disease and death which produced such a harvest on the plains of Falmouth, and gave to its camp the appropriate name of "Camp Death." He participated in the battle of Fredericksburg Dec. 13, 1862. Promoted to ist Sergeant Mar. 6, 1863; was in the siege of Suffolk, Va., Apr. 11 to May 4. In June the regiment joined the expedition to White House Land- ing, and on its return he was assigned to provost duty at Portsmouth, and later at Norfolk, Va., covering about five months in the two cities. Being relieved from duty, the regiment was ordered to Newport News, Va., on Jan. 24, 1864. Mr. Brown was one of a detail which made a successful raid upon Brandon Farms, on the James River, capturing and destroying large quantities of Rebel supplies. Feb. 3 the regiment took transports for More- head City, N. C, and thence to Newport Barracks and Little Washington, N. C. After aiding in repelling the enemy in these localities, it was ordered to Newbern, N. C, where it remained until April, and then was ordered to Portsmouth, Va.; thence to Bermuda Hundred on the James River, and on May 16 it participated in the battle of Drewry's Bluff, Co. G being ordered to the picket line at 4 o'clock a.m. At this time the total number of officers and men for duty was twenty-nine. Upon the regiment devolved the duty of holding in check the massed forces of the enemy at a critical point in the battle, and it was under a constant fire for six hours, which cost the company sixteen officers and men killed, wounded, and missing. May 31, Mr. Brown was promoted to 2d Lieutenant, and participated in the battle of Cold Harbor; also at the commencement of the battle of Peters- burg. He was honorably discharged June 14, 1864.

He is said to be the largest owner of real estate in the city of New London. He has been president of the Board of Water Commissioners for the past eighteen years. Under his administration large reservoirs have been built and the entire system of water supply has been enlarged and improved, until New London has to-day one of the best in the entire country.

On ancestry the talk had turned, And some their record clear discerned Back to that noble company Who bravely crossed a stormy sea, Defying doubt, all fear above.

Cried Jack, "You 're all so very new. Awfully verdant is your hue; Straight came I from the primal pair Who dwelt in Eden blest and fair! How do I know it?

Ralph Isham Brown (765) lived on his father's farm, attending the dis- trict school in the winter, and while very young he taught two or three terms in the common schools. In the spring of 1822 there was a powerful revival of religion in No. Stonington, Conn., during which hundreds were brought to a knowledge of the truth. In this revival Ralph became converted and joined the First Baptist Church, at the age of eleven years. The meeting- house was only half a mile from his home, of which more will be said in an- other part of this book. He was studious, improving his mind with what books he could get. Eight years after his conversion he related his views of duty to the church and was granted a license to preach the gospel early in 1830, when about eighteen years of age. He spent only a few months in the vicinity of home, preaching with great acceptance, and then went to the Baptist Literary and Theological Seminary, Hamilton, N. Y., to prepare for the ministry. Rev, Bradley Miner said of him that he was a young man of deep piety, highly esteemed by all who knew him; and at the age of twenty-two years he had preached one hundred and twenty-five times, in connection with his studies and teaching. While teaching at Norwich, N. Y., he wTites to his mother, under date of Feb. 12, 183 1; at this time his father had passed away, five months before. The following is a short ex- tract from this letter: "The scenes of my childhood are fresh to my recollection, and time will not easily efface them. In my imagination I am transported to the home of my youth, and seated around the fireside with those whom I shall never forget. But, oh ! recollection soon assumes her empire, and I find myself far away from home, immured within the walls of a schoolhouse, and surrounded by a number of mischievous scholars. My mind often lingers upon those happy seasons when we surrounded the family altar, read a portion of God's Holy Word, and joined in humble prayer. At such times the Holy Spirit was there, and I often felt myself filled with love divine. Oh, tell me not that happiness is a resident in scenes of merriment — in walls of worldly pleasure!" Two years pass away at school in Hamilton, and he had planned six years more of study; but in order to pay his expenses he must teach a portion of the time. In the summer of 1833 ^^- Brown was invited to become the Principal of the Seminary for Young Ladies in Pawtuxet, R. I., which was then about to be opened. He consented, with the understanding that he 107 THE BROWN GENEALOGY should continue to occupy that situation for one year only, when he ex- pected to resume his studies. In two short months he was stricken with a fever and passed away. His mother and sister Mary were at his bedside in Pawtuxet, There was great lamentation for him in Pawtuxet, in Hamilton, and in his native town, that one of so much promise had been so suddenly taken away. " Time, like an ever-rolling stream, Bears all its sons away; They fly, forgotten, as a dream Dies at the opening day." Mary Breed Brown (766), b. Oct. 15, 1812; m. Marcus B. Young, and soon after passed away, leaving no issue. Lucy Amelia Brown (767), dau. of Christopher, Jr., and Charlotte (Pen- dleton) Brown [Christopher (59), Daniel (24), Thomas (2), Thomas], b..

The early training of these children was in their New England home in Stonington — not only from father and mother, but also from grandfather and grandmother, for this indefatigable man of God had not only gathered a church, but built a house of worship, largely by his courage and energy and with his own hands. Here these grandchildren listened to the gospel as THE BROWN GENEALOGY it fell from his anointed lips. This fact must not be forgotten, for Ruth, the oldest, was twenty-four years old, and Phebe, the youngest, was five years old, when they emigrated to Brookfield. Thus in their childhood days began the development of Christian life and character which continued, with in- creasing activities, in their new pioneer home and is characteristic of their descendants to the present time.

In her young woman- hood she was surrounded by an atmosphere of Christian love and fellow- ship, and in maturer years her home was full of sunshine and good cheer, and her name has been perpetuated from generation to generation, until descendants by the name of Ruth are counted by the score.

His boyhood was spent in his native town, vvhere he attended the pubUc and private schools. After living a short time in Stonington and Putnam, Conn., from the latter place he was reported dead (having been critically ill). An obituary notice of great length and fulsome praise was published in the local papers, a copy of which is kept for the true finale. He entered the army in August, 1862, as Sergeant of Co. G, 21st Conn. Vol.; was after- wards promoted to ist Lieutenant in the same regiment, and served until the close of the war on the staff of Gen. Charles Devens, at the Headquarters of the 3d Division of the 24th A. C, as Acting Engineer, officer, and Chief of Pioneers. He was among the first to enter the Confederate Capitol on the morning of the third of April, 1865, and the first officer, not a prisoner, to enter Libby Prison. He became a pensioner for disabilities received during the war; but not until over twenty years after its close would he make appli- cation, and then only on account of increasing infirmities. Nearly his whole life has been spent in his present occupation, contracting painter, during which time he has executed many of the largest jobs between New Haven, Conn., and Providence, R. I., including the decorating of the interior of many public buildings and private residences. He feels his greatest satisfac- tion in having lived to perpetuate to this generation, by a short period of service in the army, the patriotism of his great-grandfather John Stanton, who was b. in Stonington, Conn., May 13, 1736, and at his death bore the marks of seventeen bullet-wounds, received in the French and Indian War and the war of the American Revolution.

They had already a considerable family, and some of them are said to have preceded their parents to New York. It is thought that their permanent removal was in the year 1800, when they came with the remainder of their family and settled in Beaver Creek Valley, about two miles south of the village of Brookfield. On his coming he occupied a log house standing by some rocks 169 THE BROWN GENEALOCzY in the meadow east of the road running through it, and near the south line of the farm north of the Chauncey Hibbard place. Later he lived and died in a frame house on the hill forty or fifty rods south. Not long after their settlement in Brookiield, Keturah York made a journey on horseback to Utica for household supplies, bringing back in her saddle-bags, among other things, a set of dishes, some pieces of which are still treasured by her de- scendants. John York had ten children and fifty-five grandchildren. Children: 1280. John York, b. Mar. 17, 1771; d. Jan. 23, 1812 (1365-1370). 1281. Thomas York, b. Feb. 24, 1773; d.

He was the first settler in what became distinctively to be the York settlement on both sides of Beaver Creek about two miles south of the village of Brookfield. His log house, the first dwelling in this locality, between the foot of the Chauncey Hibbard hill and the creek, is described in the town records, under date of Oct. 20, 1797, as on the "road that goes from James Satterlee's to John York's," being on the west side of the present highway. In 1811-1812 he had built a frame house by the brookside near the falls some distance west of Beaver Creek, afterwards known as the Icha- bod York, and later as the Samuel Langworthy, place. This house he never occupied. He was found dead by the bridge, where he seemed to have fallen as he was going homeward from his yet unfinished house, having died from the injury or from the exposure to the wintry cold.

Y., Apr. 30, 1850. It is related among some of his descendants that the marriage of Nathan Stewart to Anna Brown gave offence to his family, and was the cause of his leaving Connecticut, where the Stewart homestead had de- scended from father to the oldest son, according to the English custom. The reason given is that her father, Capt. Daniel Brown, was a British officer. It is quite certain that this part of the story is unfounded, and is based on a misapprehension, and it may be that the whole story is equally doubtful. Some of the oldest and best informed of his descendants have never heard the tradition. His father-in-law is said to have offered him fifty acres of land and provisions for a year if he would remove with him to the wilds of Central New York. He removed to Brookfield shortly after Capt. Daniel located there, and added to his holdings of real estate so that at the time of his death he owned a farm of about one hundred and forty acres. All his children were born in Brookfield, except Isaac, who was born in Stonington. Children : 2137. Isaac Stewart, b. June 5, 1792; d., Illyria, la., Oct. 15, 1864 (2199-2204). 2138.

Michiah Porter, pastor of the church in Voluntown, Conn., to Lucy Dow, dau. of Benjamin Dow and Mary Killam. Benjamin Dow lived in that part of Voluntown which was cut off to form the town of Ster- ling. He was a sergeant in the War of the Revolution, and was a man of importance and standing in the community, serving as Town Clerk, Town Treasurer, etc. Asa and his brother Oliver had visited Brookfield, N. Y., in 1794, on a visit, it is said, to their aunt, Keturah Brown York, who had emigrated thither from Stonington. They decided to settle there; and as soon as the roads were passable after their marriage, Asa and Lucy started for their new home, he with an ox-team and a wagon loaded with house- hold furniture, and she on horseback, carrying in her hands a few things too precious to be trusted in the springless wagon, among them a mirror which is even now one of the cherished treasures of her daughter Maria. They made their way through the wilderness by marked trees, crossing the river at Unadilla Forks, N. Y., into the town of Brookfield, and setding on a farm some two miles further on, where Asa built a large two-story frame house. He was a good carpenter and cabinet-maker, and as there was 322 THE BROWN GENEALOGY little money in circulation he made furniture, which he exchanged for cattle, grain, and the various things needed for the household. In this way they purchased the tall family clock with its inlaid frame, one of the first load of clocks brought from Connecticut to Brookfield. It was said that there was not a house in Brookfield but had some of his furniture, and every piece well made. The Dows and the Browns of Stonington used occasionally to exchange visits with the Dows and the Browns of Brook- field and Richfield. It was a seven days' drive from Brookfield to Sterling, and as postal communication was uncertain and expensive, these periodical visits were utilized for sending letters backwards and forwards. Asa's health failing for a time, he moved to Unadilla Forks about 1814, and served as constable while living there. In Brookfield, Asa and his wife had united with the Baptist Church, being baptized by Rev. Simeon Brown, and were among the charter members of the Baptist Church in Unadilla Forks. While visiting her uncle. Col. Dow, in Mayflower, Otsego Co., N. Y., they bought a farm east of Mayflower post-office on the Cherry Valley Turnpike, the leading thoroughfare and the stage-road from Albany to Buff'alo, about three miles distant from the present town of Richfield Springs, N. Y. They moved to this farm in 1818. They raised flax, and the daughters spun and wove the household linen and the family clothing. They spun and dyed and wove the wool for their best gowns and for their brothers' best suits. Once a year a tailor came for a few days and cut and fitted the best and finest garments. When Asa, the oldest son, married, his father built a house across the road, to which he moved, leaving the old house and the larger part of the farm to his son. Later his son Benjamin bought the farm adjoining. In their later years they were cared for by their daughter Maria. After two years of failing health Lucy died. Mar. 31, 1854. Asa Brown re- tained much vigor of mind and body to the last, dying in his ninety-third year, Jan. 23, 1861. They are buried in the Presbyterian churchyard at Richfield Springs. Children: 2852. Lucy, b. Oct. 25, 1795; d. Oct. 13, 1836. She was ever the faithful elder daughter and sister, doing much for the com- fort of the family, and looking wisely after the matters which concerned the welfare of all. While helping at her brother Benjamin's, in time of sickness, she was taken suddenly too ill to be moved to her home next door, and died there in three days. She was a faithful worker in the Baptist Church, with which she united when a young woman. 2853. Deborah, b. Apr. 9, 1797; d. Oct. 20, 1851 (2863-2866). 323 THE BROWN GENEALOGY 2854. Mercy, b.

Preston, established a Water-Cure, called Halstead Hall. Her partner is said to have left with the funds, leaving her with the patients.

Those huge billows of the gale ! They bring havoc to hfe's journey; They 're the means thro' which we fail. If the voyager cross the ocean. He must stem the swelUng tide, He must overcome the billows O'er which he would safely glide. He can never gain his port Floating solely at the will Of the rolling, surging waters. Or by waiting till they 're still. So it is in life's great voyage: All must cross the restless sea. Where barks were wrecked for ages, Where others yet will be; For the way is dark and treach'rous. Waves of sin each side abound, And it needs a sturdy pilot. Else the bark will run aground. Our boat must be well ballasted With Truth and rudder'd secure With Jesus Christ for pilot. If we 'd have our voyage sure. Then we '11 launch our craft in safety, Mount with zeal each swelling crest. Overcome all life's temptations. Glide into the "Haven of Rest." Children : 2988.

He settled on a farm in Brook- field, N. Y. He became converted after his first child was born, and felt that he must preach the gospel, but all the family opposed it except his wife. After a long struggle he sold his stock and farming-utensils and went to Hamilton, where he entered the Theological Seminary there, supporting his family by working a farm, studying in the meantime. He graduated in 1836. He then removed to Northern Ohio. Feeling that he was called to preach the gospel to the poor, he settled in Norwalk. His wife kept boarders and he preached to feeble churches and assisted in protracted meetings. Later he moved to New Haven, O.; his father sent him a team of horses and a wagon, and he used to haul for merchants from Huron on the lake to New Haven, there being no railroads. His wife and daughters bound shoes for two shops to eke out the slender income. He continued to preach to feeble churches, from whom he received occasional donations. After about six years he was called to be pastor at Monroeville for one year, and here 348 THE BROWN GENEALOGY he started a farm, as he wished his sons to be trained to work. After he had been on the farm a month his wife died. Two years afterwards he married again, and his brother OHver Butler bought a farm of eighty acres at Hull Prairie, where his remaining days were spent. One of his family well qualified to judge says of him, "If the good alone are great, he was a great man; for he was truly one of the best of earth, and his name in all that region is a hallowed memory."

Being of a deeply religious nature, his father intended him for the ministry. He entered Kalamazoo College with this thought, and was a student there when the second call for volunteers came in the Civil War. He enlisted as a private in the iiith Regiment of Ohio Volunteers, and served three years, to the end of the war, when he held the rank of First Lieutenant and Regimental Quartermaster. He m. (i) Lavinia Randall, dau. of Thomas Randall and Sarah Yeomans Randall. She lived but three months after their marriage. About this time he became interested in the doctrines of the Church of the New Jerusalem (Swedenborgian). As an active and efficient member of this Church he held many important offices, and was generous in its support. A few years after the war he moved to Cleveland and engaged in the wholesale and retail lumber business, establishing the well-known firm of M. G. Browne & Co., and became one of the leading business men of that city. At one time he served as vice-president of the Board of Trade. On Sept. 3, 1872, he m. Mrs. Ada Isabel Wagar McGathy, b., E.

His second wife had been brought up in the New Jerusalem Church faith, and this proved a strong bond between them. When he was fifty-five years of age he was ordained a minister of the 354 W. M. Haigh (3063) Cyi'us H. Brown (^2(iO) Westerly, 11. 1. THE BROWN GENEALOGY Church of the New Jerusalem, having had lifelong longings for the sacred ofl&ce. He accepted a call to the society of that Church in Cleveland, and ministered to them during the remainder of his life. He had that clear in- sight into spiritual things which makes the true minister, and that love of saving souls which makes the true priest. One near and dear to him by right of intimate knowledge of his daily life thus writes: "Long before he was a priest in reality he was one at heart. He was always his own simple, honest, lovable self, perfectly genuine, exactly what he appeared to be. The memory of his beautiful life will always be an inspiration to us." Another says of him: "He loved everybody, and everybody loved him." He was a member of the Ohio Commandery of the Loyal Legion. His widow resides part of the time in Boston, Mass., and part of the time in her old home in Lakewood, O. Children, all b. in Cleveland: 3106. Grace Ethelwyn, b. Dec. 12, 1873 (3153a). 3107.

The following letter, addressed by him to his son Silas, then employed in the store of Peter Van Loon, of Albany, is interesting as giving some family history, as shedding a strong light on the character of the writer, and as giving glimpses of the manners and customs of an earlier day. Bern, March 30th, 181 2. My Son: — Agreeable to your request, I send you some of the particulars you enquire after. I was born at .Stonington, Conn., Nov. 22d, 1748, old style, answering to the 3d December, new style. My father descended from one of three brothers, that immigrated from Lynn, near Boston, England, perhaps 150 years ago, they were some of the first settlers. My mother was the daughter of John Chapman, who came from England, and mar- ried his wife in this country. My grandfather and grandmother Brown, my grand- mother Chapman, and my father's brothers, all died before my remembrance. My grandfather Chapman died when I was about 10 years old, and my father when I was about 8 years old, and left 4 sisters, all married, and had families. My mother died when I was about 18 years old, and left 4 brothers, and i sister, all married, and had 394 'A' \ qJ7^?7^ J/yn/ i^ i^^ i;;4 . '^ cJuen, Jlp/n/ Ml- /f ^.///(P . , \cMaJ ^Yammy ^: ii ^ i^tPS--- J /'J^ ^( H r /ht^ A Leaf from the Family Bible of Andrew Brown (126) The set of china of whic-h this cup and saucer were originally a part con- sisted of twelve cups and saucers, twelve custard-cups, a tea-pot, sugar-bowl, cream-jug, slop-bowl, two cake-plates, and a tray. It was bought in Baltimore, about the year 1S20, by Nathan Stewart, who, with his daughter, Elizabeth, stopped in the city for some time. They lodged in the house of an Irishwoman of the "reduced gentlewoman" type, who owned this and a (juantity of other china. She sold the set to Nathan Stewart for fifty dollars. In 1S-2+ the china was billed to Arnold R., Daniel B., and Elizabeth Stewart, who lived together at Middlebury, Ohio In 1902 this bill was .still in existence, and in the possession of Frances Hinkley, of Ripon, Wisconsin, a niece of Elizabeth Stewart. Upon Elizabeth Stewart's death, in 1S7S, the china was bought by her sister, Abby Stewart Perry, who kept one-half of the pieces, giving the re- mainder to the third sister, Emiice Hinkley, excepting only one piece, which was given to Anna Maria Wright, of Cleveland, a half-sister. The daughters of Eunice Hinkley, Elizabeth Burdick and Frances Hinkley, inherited their mother's share of the china; and in November, 1902, they gave the cup and saucer illustrated to Jennie Stewart Briggs, of Los Gatos, Cali- fornia. The photograjjh of this china was made in December, 1902, at West Union, Iowa, by Bertha Stewart Quigley. At the time of the purchase by Nathan Stewart, in 1820, the seller declared the china to be sixty years old. This was probably not true, as the decoration marks it as of the period of the Empire. The ware is exquisite — fine and thin. The color is an intense cobalt blue, traced all over with grapes, leaves, and tendrils in burnished gold. The medallions have each a different subject, but all represent the use of some musical instrument. The color on the cheeks of the figures is so vivid that it appears black in the photograph. The ware is not marked, but is probably Sevres. THE BROWN GENEALOGY families. Two of the brothers, I suppose, are living yet in Westerly, in Rhode Island; the rest of my uncles and aunts, I expect, are dead, although they lived to a good old age, and have left a numerous offspring. One thing is worthy of observation, there have been none of my predecessors or cotemporaries that could be said to be rich, and none (with very few exceptions) that could be accounted poor, but almost a uniformity of mediocrity prevailed, and all were good livers. Your mother was born September 30th, 1750, old style; her father, Henry Cobb, had one brother, Hallett, who left one daughter only, so that the name of Cobb, in Stoning- ton, belongs exclusively to his family, with which you are well acquainted. Your grandmother Cobb, was the daughter of Col. Oliver Babcock of Westerly, who lived to the age of about 95 years; your mother and I were at his funeral about 39 years ago. Your grandmother Cobb, died when your mother was young, and your grandfather Cobb, died when your brother Edward was about one year old (1772). You will no doubt be surprised when you are informed of the manners and customs that prevailed 50 or 57 years ago. There is more expended in the clothing of i child under the age of 10 or 12 years now, than was then expended on 3 or 4 by parents of like abilities, their manner of living, if not cheaper, was different. The common method then of entertaining afternoon visitors was treating them by making doughnuts and pancakes, with sweet cider, and butter, and cheese. Some, in the room of spreading tables would spread a cloth on a chair with their victuals on it. Some more extrava- gant, would have coffee and chocolate, but as to tea, tea kettles, tea cups and saucers, they would have been almost as great a wonder, as it would now to see an Egyptian Pyramid or one in miniature formed by a cook for the entertainment of company. Wooden trenchers were then almost universally used in the room of plates to eat from, and many other things were then in practice of a similar nature, too numerous to be inserted in a letter. By this time, no doubt, you will expect my own history up to your own remembrance. I informed you that my father died when I was about 8 years old. I then lived with my brother Ichabod, until I was about 16 years old, and worked at farming. The school learning which I had was but small, having no schools only in the winter, and them seldom less than two or three miles distant from home. I went to school but little, and as to paper, I do not think I ever had half a quire bought for me, or a penknife, or an inkstand, except what I bought with my own money, which I had no other way of ob- taining, but to gain time, and pick up chestnuts and walnuts, and sometimes raise a few bushels of turnips, &c. You may well think that I learned to be prudent, for I then set more by one sheet of clean paper, than I ever done by a ream since I was able to purchase by that quantity. At the age of 16 I agreed to serve two years and two months apprenticeship at the cooper's trade, and find my own clothing, which term I faithfully served, and with the help of my mother, together with what I earned by gaining time, I clothed myself, although it was not agreeable to the modern customs practised by boys of the same age, being then 18 years and 2 months old. My mother dying soon after I was left without father, mother, guardian or master. My father left me property to the amount of about $300, but I was not entitled to it until I became of age. I then went to work as a journey- man, and as soon as my wages amounted to a sum sufficient to lay out, I took an order on a store for goods. Money at that time was so scarce that not one fiftieth part of what was given for wages, was paid in money. The first thing I took on my order was a bible, and the next a suit of clothes. I dare say you will think it was all proper. My 395 THE BROWN GENEALOGY wages were $7.62^ per month, which was 15 or 20 per cent, more than other journey- men had at that time. The last six months before I was of age, I set up my trade, and sold barrels at 50 cents per piece. About the time I was of age, I made an estimate, and found I had made property to the amoimt of $300, which was as much thought of at that time, as it would be now for a man to make a thousand in the same time, which established my credit so that it became a proverb when a man was doing well, that he made money as fast as Andrew Brown. Before I was of age I was offered a lot of fat hogs on credit at the market price, and to have three years credit. The pork I took accordingly, and ever since found it more safe to buy on credit than to sell on credit. The same month that I was of age I bought the quarter of a schooner of about 50 tons, and sent her to the West Indies. She made a good voyage, and the next summer she made a fishing voyage. We then sold her, and I bought one quarter of a brig of 120 tons, and she followed the West India trade tmtil about the time the Revolutionary war began, with but little advantage. The war lasted almost 8 years, during which time I was about half the time in the state service, as a guard at Stonington, and did but little more than support my family, but we lived in good fashion, and were well respected. At the peace of 1782, there was such a field open for speculation that vast numbers of my acquaintance entered largely into trade, but my experience in trade put me on considering the disadvantages attending it, so that I had not courage enough to enter into any larger business than to work at my trade and tend my garden, until 1788, when my interest I estimated to be worth about 3,000 dollars; considering the place in which I lived not enjoying the advantages of the country, or the conveniences of a city, and having a number of sons and not considering myself able to put them in business, and but little prospect of their obtaining any advantageous employment in that place, I resolved to seek my fortune in some other. Believing that God has made all mankind of one blood and appointed imto them the bounds of their habitations, my lot has been cast in this place, I believe for wise purposes; the opposition I met with on leaving my friends and native land was greater than most people met with, but considering that a man without resolution is but a poor creature, I so far overcame all difficulties that I came forward in June, with Edward, Allen, and two hired men, got in about ten acres of grain and returned, leaving Edward and Allen, in the fall, and brought my family to Albany the last of November, and sent out Stanton to Edward who came in after us with three wagons which brought to my mind the case of old Jacob when Joseph sent for him. When we arrived in this town, we found our log house much out of repair, not a square of glass in it, you may well think your mother thought it strange and hard, as she had been accustomed to live in a good house, well finished, we not having more perhaps than ten English families in this town, and those scattered and in low circum- stances, and the Dutch far less polished than at present; but industry soon changed the face of things, a number of English families moved in, and by degrees things wore a more promising aspect; nothing very material took place from that time until your personal knowledge, which makes a further narrative unnecessary. As to your observations on education, I will observe that it is my wish that every person should have a good common education in order to their being qualified to the care of themselves, and becoming good members of society; and am in favor of their having more, and I care not how much, so long as their learning is kept as a handmaid to wait on them through their lives, but when they suffer their learning to become a mistress, it disqualifies them from taking hold of such branches of business as their 396 THE BROWN GENEALOGY age and circumstances in life points out for them to do, and it proves very detrimental and becomes their ruin. Every freeholder is a stockholder in the presidency of the United States, yet it is the lot of but a very few, to be a successful candidate by obtaining that oflftce. It is our duty to be diligent in our business, and to do our duty in the station we are placed in, and if our circumstances do not suit our minds, to endeavor to bring our minds to suit our circumstances, which is not so difficult as many think for; it is done by considering how much we enjoy, and how little we deserve. You no doubt think you would be more happy in doing business for yourself, but believe me, were you to ask the merchants, that 9 out of 10 would tell you that they never enjoyed themselves better, than whilst they were employed as you now are. If you should conduct so as to become a respectable merchant, there is no doubt but that you will become respectable in other respects. You very justly observed that a man is to be judged by his practice and principles — and you might farther have added "by the company he keeps." You are not yet too old to obey the commands of a parent, nor yet too young to re- ceive the advice of a friend. As your future prospects under Divine Providence depend on your own exertions, I hope you will consider every transaction as being a link in the chain of your fortune , prosperity or adversity; and never neglect doing a virtuous act till to-morrow, that may as well be done to-day. Never disclose the whole of your ihind, nor show the bottom of your purse; be faithful to your friends, and be cautious of your enemies. Having thus answered your enquiries, if anything is omitted, at your further request, I will endeavor to satisfy you. We all enjoy usual health, hoping that this will find you enjoying the same, I remain your affectionate parent, Andrew Brown. It is related by one of his descendants that a letter written to Andrew Brown was in a sense the cause of the duel between Burr and Hamilton. It seems that Dr. Charles S. Cooper addressed a letter to Andrew Brown in which he stated that Hamilton had shortly before said at his dinner-table that Burr was a dangerous man. This letter was given to Allen Brown to give to his father. Allen Brown took the letter to a boarding-house kept by Mrs. Phelps, where Col. Dietz, a member of the Legislature from Bern, was stopping, and gave the letter to Mrs. Phelps with instructions to give it to Col, Dietz for delivery to his father. Next morning the letter was found in the streets of Albany, open, and was published in the Albany papers. This led to the controversy between Burr and Hamilton which resulted in the duel.

After the war he settled at Knox, Albany Co., where he was an active busi- ness man. He was Major- General of all the militia of Albany Co., and was buried with military honors. He was a Whig in politics, and he and his wife were members of the Presbyterian Church. An interesting MS. account of his conversion, which was not unlike that of Saul of Tarsus, was left by Mrs. Mary Brownell (3529), and is cherished by her descendants. Children, all b. in Knox: 3542.

He was an intimate and trusted friend of Governors Tompkins, Clinton, 399 THE BROWN GENEALOGY and Yates. He was one of the trustees of the Second Presbyterian Church. He was in the fon\'arding business, and a prominent and greatly esteemed citizen. His wife was regarded throughout her life as a very superior woman. She knew Aaron Burr well, and frequently declared that he was the most polished gentleman she had ever met. A relative of hers married August Frederick Prevost, Burr's stepson. Children : 3547.

To the Memory oj Silas Brown. An aged saint, beloved on earth, Dear to his Savior and his God, Whose pious deeds of heavenly birth Cheered sorrow's children in hfe's road, Sweetly in Jesus fell asleep. And left the desolate to weep. Yet still he Uves! The hallowed light Of his example shines below. Diffusing holy radiance bright O'er the dark vale of eartUy woe. if Oh, let us tread the path he trod, The path of peace, of love of God! Oh, well do I remember now His feeUng heart, his voice so kind. How wreathed with smiles was each young brow When the dear guardian of the blind Gladdened our midst vidth gentle tone, And made our little griefs his own! Those generous friends of early day. Who toiled to make our lot more blessed. Are passing one by one away. Gone from this weary world's unrest To reap in heaven their bright reward And ever be with God, the Lord. We mourn their loss who knew them best; And heartfelt tears of grief vrill come O'er the dear memory of the blest, Bright day-star of our childhood's home, 401 THE BROWN GENEALOGY While gratitude's immortal swell Re-echoes names remembered well. Ye who were twined with holiest love Around each fibre of his soul, Who felt his spirit's softest move, And yielded to its sweet control. With yours our prayers and tears we blend. Who mourn a guardian and a friend. Father in heaven. Thy love alone Gave that dear friend to cheer our path. Who stands before Thy ghttering throne Victorious o'er the powers of death. We bow, we kiss Thy chastening rod. Thy will be done. Our Father God. January 21, 1S60. Children, all b. in New York City: 3567. Emily Maria, b.

Allen Henry Brown (3569), brother of the preceding, b., 182 Pearl St., New York City, Sept. 23, 1820. He received his academic education at the notable school of William Forrest in New York, entering the Univer- sity of the City of New York in the Sophomore class, and continued through the Junior year, taking his Senior year at Columbia College, from which he was graduated in 1839. He spent a year in private study, and having de- cided to enter the ministry, he attended the class in Hebrew at the Union Theological Seminary. He was matriculated at the Theological Seminary in Princeton in the class of 1840-1841, and, having pursued the regular four years' course, took a fourth scholastic year in that seminary. While here he became interested in the work of the American Tract Society, and became the agent of the society and superintendent of its colporteur work in South- ern New Jersey. In the prosecution of this work he travelled extensively through New Jersey, largely by private conveyance. In December, 1846, he went to May's Landing, N. J., to supply the small Presbyterian church, promising to renew the work of the Tract Society in the spring of 1847. In the autumn of 1847 ^^^ went to May's Landing and took up what proved to be his life-work. At that time the nearest Presbyterian church was forty miles to the south, and the nearest one on the north was more than twice that distance. Now, largely through his efforts, there are scores of Presby- terian churches within this territory. He was ordained at May's Landing, Jan. 5, 1849, as evangelist, and has never yet been installed as a pastor over this or any other church; but his life has been devoted to missionary work in Southern New Jersey. In 1900 the Presbytery of West Jersey, in commem- oration of his fifty-four years of service, and of the eightieth anniversary of his birth, voted to publish a memorial volume containing his biography and a selection of his sermons and addresses. This was entitled, "A Pioneer of Southern New Jersey. A Tribute to Rev. Allen H. Brown." It was pub- lished by Allen, Lane & Scott, 1896. During a half-century of missionary work he has always regarded Altantic Co. as his legal residence, and May's Landing, Absecon, or Atlantic City as his home, though sojourning for a limited time at other places. He is now [1907] living among his nearest relatives at Montclair, N. J. In June, 1905, Princeton University conferred 410 THE BROWN GENEALOGY on him the well-merited honor of Doctor of Divinity. In 1885, at Atlantic City, the Synod of New Jersey honored him by electing him Moderator to preside at that meeting, and in the following year, at Camden, he opened the Synod with a discourse giving the history of the Synod, which was printed by its order (32 pp). He was twice sent by the Presbytery of W^st Jersey "as a commissioner to the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church, at Lexington, Ky., 1857, and at Saratoga Springs in 1883. An account of his life and of his family was published in "History of the New Jersey Coast, Vol. 2, p. 357." He m., Lowell, Mass., Aug. 12, 1852, Martha A. Dodge, of Amherst, N. H. ; b.

[For an account of her life, see "Genea- logical History of the Fiske Family," pp. 70-72, Chicago, 111., 1867.] A booklet of her poems was printed for her family in 1878, under the title "Spring Flowers and Autumn Leaves." Dr. Brown has taken an active interest in this work, and has given the compiler of the records of this branch of the family greatly valued assistance. He retains his faculties un- impaired, and is greatly admired and respected by a wide circle of friends and relatives. Children, all b. at May's Landing: 3651a. Silas Belden, b.

His prosperity brought him influence and wealth. He took special interest in looking up his ancestry, as was seen by the numerous letters addressed to relatives and friends in Stonington and Mystic, Conn. He compiled a full record of his ancestry, which he left with his brother's wife, Mrs. James J. Brown, of Omaha. In the beginning of his researches he states [see page 9] that Nicholas Brown sailed from Southampton, England, in the early spring of 1630. The fleet consisted of eleven vessels, having on board 1,700 persons that sailed for New England. Among the passengers were John Winthrop, the first Governor of the colony of Massachusetts, and many other persons of dignity, wealth, and reputation. "Three vessels landed at Salem, Mass., in the month of June, 1630, and the passengers began to make settlements in the pathless woods." The settlement at Lynn was begun in 1629. He quotes under topic lines: "Annuals of Lynn, 1630," at page 119, the following: "Nicholas Brown was a farmer and lived on Walnut Street in Saugus, Mass. He removed to Reading in 1644. He had a son Thomas, who con- tinued in Lynn, and died 28 Aug., 1693; his descendants remain." In 1638 an allotment of land was made to the residents. [See page 171.] Nicholas Brown was given two hundred acres. On Oct. 7, 1641, Nicholas Brown was selected as a Representative of Lynn. [See page 578.] On page 482 we find the following: "Mary (a daughter of John Newhall) married Thomas Brown and had several children." The above are the only refer- ences to Thomas Brown in the book.

Wheeler's History, page 332, says in part that James Dean, Jr., the grandfather of this sketch, learned the trade of fulling and dressing woolen cloth, and for that purpose erected a dam and fulling-mill on the Mistuxet brook. There he continued his business until his son John Dean reached manhood, when he and his father built a new dam and erected another fulling-mill near his dwelling-house. Afterwards they devoted their time and attention to cloth-dressing until 1807, when the fulling-mill was enlarged into what 434 THE BROWN GENEALOGY was known as a factory, with a grist-mill, with new and improved machinery for cloth-dressing, wool-carding, and for the manufacturing of cotton and woolen goods. The new enterprise was continued mainly by James Dean, the son of John Dean, the subject of this sketch, with whom he had been in business from his early manhood. Mr. James Dean continued in business until 1830, when he retired from business, and died six years later. The first mill stood just below the present dam; the raceway is kept in order, as seen below the dam. The millstones have been carried across the road near where the house stood, and marked" 1807." Alarge boulder is here, marked "Washboul," dated 1700. The well and well-sweep and oaken bucket are in order; a monument of stones twelve feet high capped with a bomb-shell, "Relic of 1812." A short distance away is the Wolf-den in the rocks and woods on the hill. A large pine-tree in front of where the house stood is marked, "Planted by James Dean 1828." This has been an ideal place for picnics, with hills and valleys, trees, rocks, and living springs of water. The water of the Mistuxet is now util- ized by the town of Stonington, with a pumping-station where the last factory and grist-mill stood. The water company passed an ordinance in 1906 forbidding the use of this beautiful locality for picnics, fearing the pollution of the water. Dau. : 3822. Prudence Brown Dean, b.

MANDERSON Charles Frederick Manderson was born of paternal Scotch-Irish and of maternal German ancestry in Philadelphia, Penn., Feb. 9, 1837, and received his education in the schools of his native city. At the age of nineteen he removed to Canton, Stark Co., O., where he studied law and was admitted to the bar in 1859. In the spring of r86o he was elected City Solicitor of Canton, O., and was reelected the next year. On the day of the receipt of the news of the firing on Fort Sumter, in April, 1861, he enlisted as a private with Captain James Wallace of the Canton Zouaves, an inde- jjendent company in which he had been a corporal. Receiving permission from Gov- ernor Dennison, he, with Samuel Beatty, an old Mexican soldier, then sheriff of Stark Co., raised a full company of infantry in one day, Manderson being elected and com- missioned ist Lieutenant. In May, 1861, Beatty, the Captain, being made Colonel of the 19th Ohio Infantry, Manderson became Captain of Company A of that regiment. He took two companies into western Virginia among the first troops occupying that section, and the ipth Ohio became a part of the brigade commanded by General Rose- crans in General McClellan's Army of Occupation of West Virginia. The regiment participated with great credit in the first field battle of the war. Rich Moimtain, the eleventh day of July, 1861. Captain Manderson received special mention in the official 436 THE BROWN GENEALOGY reports of this battle. In August, 1861, he reenlisted his company for three years, or during the war, and in this service he rose through the grades of Major, Lieutenant- Colonel, and Colonel of the 19th Ohio Infantry, and on Jan. i, 1864, over four hundred of the survivors of his regiment reenlisted with him as veteran volunteers. The battle of Shiloh, fought Apr. 7, 1862, during which Captain Manderson acted as Lieutenant- Colonel, caused his promotion to the rank of Major, and he was mentioned in the re- ports of General Boyle and General Crittenden for distinguished gallantry and excep- tional service. General Boyle says in his report: "Captain Manderson deported himself with cool nerve and courage and personally captured a prisoner." ' He was in command of the 19th Ohio Infantry in all its engagements up to and in- cluding the battle of Love joy's Station, on Sept. 2, 1864. At the battle of Stone's River, or Murfreesboro, fought Dec. 31, 1862, and Jan. 2, 1863, the regiment lost in killed and wounded two himdred and thirteen men out of four himdred and forty-nine taken into the engagement, or forty-four per cent. It won distinguished renown and excep- tional mention for its participation in this great battle, and the official reports gave particular credit to its charge in the cedars, which checked the enemy's advance upon our right and restored the line of battle to one that could be maintained. General Fred Knefler, who commanded the 79th Indiana, said in his official report: "It may not be improper to remark that the behavior of my regiment, which had but few opportunities for drill, and had not been long in the field, may be attributed in a great measure to the splendid conduct of the 19th Ohio, Major Manderson command- ing, the effect of whose example was not lost upon the officers and soldiers of my regi- ment." General Grider, commanding the brigade, says: "The command was splendidly led by its officers, among whom was Major Mander- son, who exhibited the utmost coolness and daring." After the battle of Rich Mountain, and during its three years and its veteran service, the 19th Ohio Infantry participated in the following campaigns and battles: Shiloh, Siege of Corinth, Action near Farmington, Movement from Battle Creek, Tenn., to Louisville, Ky., Perryville Campaign, Crab Orchard, Stone's River, Murfreesboro, Tullahoma Campaign, Liberty Gap, Chickamauga, Siege of Chattanooga, Orchard Knob, Mission Ridge, Knoxville Campaign, Atlanta Campaign, Cassville, Dallas, New Hope Church, Picketts Mills, Ackworth Station, Pine Knob, Kulp's Farm, Kenesaw, Affair near Marietta, Crossing the Chattahootchie River, Peach Tree Creek, Siege of Atlanta, Ezra Chapel, Jonesboro, Lovejoy's Station, Franklin, Nashville, and pursuit of Hood's army. The brigade commander says of the battle of New Hope Church, during the Atlanta Campaign, in his official report: "The second line, commanded by Colonel Manderson and composed of the 19th Ohio, the 79th Indiana, and the 9th Kentucky, advanced in splendid style through a terrific fire. Officers and soldiers acted most gallantly, the regiments of the second line particularly, which advanced in admirable order over very difficult ground and determinedly maintained their ground against very superior numbers. Conspicuous for gallantry and deserving of special mention is Colonel C. F. Manderson of the 19th Ohio." While leading his demi-brigade, composed of the 19th Ohio, the 9th Kentucky, and the 79th Indiana, in a charge upon the enemy's works at Lovejoy's Station, Ga., on 437 THE BROWN GENEALOGY Sept. 2, 1864, in which, in a most desperate charge, the*front line of works was taken and held, he was severely wounded in the spine and right side. General Knefler, commanding the brigade, says officially: "I cannot say too much of Colonel Manderson, who was severely wounded and always conspicuous for gallantry and skill." General Wood, who commanded the division, says of the charge upon the enemy's works : "It was gallantly made, and we lost some valuable officers, among them Colonel Manderson." The ball being unextracted and much disability arising therefrom, he was compelled to resign the service from wotmds in April, 1865, the war in the West having practically closed. Previous to his resignation he was breveted Brigadier-General of Volimteers, U. S. A., to date Mar. 13, 1865, "for long, faithful, gallant, and meritorious services during the War of the Rebellion." This distinction came to him on the recommenda- tion of army commanders in the field, and not by political influence. He participated in all the battles in which his regiment took part except Chickamauga, when he was absent on detached duty, and Franklin and Nashville, when he was absent on account of wounds. Returning to Canton, O., he resumed the practice of law, and was twice elected Prosecuting Attorney of Stark Co., declining a nomination for a third term. In 1867 he came within one vote of receiving the Republican nomination for Congress in a district in Ohio then conceded to be Republican by several thousand majority. In November, 1869, he removed to Omaha, Neb., where he still resides, and where he quickly became prominent in legal and political affairs. He was a member of the Nebraska State Constitutional Convention of 1871, and also that of 1874, being elected without opposition by the nominations of both political parties. He served as City Attorney of Omaha, Neb., for over six years, obtaining signal success in the trial of important municipal cases and achieving high rank as a lawyer. For many years he has been an active comrade in the Grand Army of the Republic, and for three years was Commander of the Military Order of the Loyal Legion of the District of Columbia, and has since been Commander of the Nebraska Commandery. He was elected United States Senator as a Republican to succeed Alvin Saunders, his term commencing Mar. 4, 1883. He was reelected to the Senate in 1888 without opposition, and with excep- tional and unprecedented marks of approval from the Legislature of Nebraska. His term expired Mar. 3, 1895, and he declined to be a candidate for a third term, annovmc- ing publicly his intention to retire from public life. In the Senate he was Chairman of the Joint Committee on Printing and an active member of the following committees: Claims, Private Land Claims, Territories, Indian Affairs, Military Affairs, and Rules. Many valuable reports have been made by him from these committees, and he has been a shaping and a directing force in the way of legislation of value relating to Claims, the establishment of the Private Land Claims Court, the Government of the Territories, the admission of new States, pensions to soldiers, aid to soldiers' homes, laws for the better organization and improvement of the discipline of the United States Army, and for the improvement and better methods for the printing of the Government. In the second session of the 51st Congress he was elected by the United States Senate as its president pro tempore without opposition, it having been declared by the Senate after full debate to be a continuing office. This imanimous election to the presidency of the Senate was without a precedent, and was the highest compliment that could be 438 THE BROWN GENEALOGY paid by that august body to one of its members. In March, 1893, the poHtical com- plexion of the Senate having changed, he resigned the presidency of the Senate, after serving in that capacity for three years, and was succeeded by Hon. Isham G. Harris, of Tennessee. General Manderson retired from the Senate Mar. 3, 1895, and, being tendered the position of General Solicitor of the Burlington System of Railroads west of the Missouri River, entered upon the duties of the place on Apr. i, 1895, continuing his residence in Omaha, Neb.

He has creditably occupied the offices of postmaster and Town Auditor, holding in 1905 the latter position, and is also a Justice of the Peace; he was secretary of the Board of School Visitors for six years, and continues to be a member of that board. His popularity is shown by the fact that his townsmen, in a town strongly Democratic, elected him, the first Republican elected in seventeen years. He received a large majority. He is clerk of the Committee on Humane Institutions. He is proprietor of a general store, and he and his wife attend the Baptist Church. Dau. : Win- ifred, b. Jan. 20, 1881.

It is a rare privilege when a compiler of family records has a person living, in her ninety-eighth year, to recall events and matters of interest covering so long a period of life. Having known Mrs. Hillard since 1845, living near her for several years, I have visited her as opportunity afforded for over sixty years. She recalls when she and all her household were bap- tized, in 1846, as one of the greatest events of her long life. [See Appendix X.] Her youngest sister Amelia — or Milly, as she was called — was a member of this family for several years, and when she was married and went to Newport " it almost broke my heart." She says her " mother was a good woman," so, also, " my father was a good man." She told of the great September gale in 1815, when the men came and took her, her younger sister, and her mother to the Truman house, fearing their house would be blown down. The mother was so frightened when she got there that they fanned her; but she said, "Don't fan me, I have had wind enough." So violent was the wind that salt water blew as far as Pendleton Hill, about twelve miles away. She entertains her six children and grandchildren; all but two live near her, and they contribute to make her life very pleasant. She is a remarkably busy woman, and for the past thirty years and more has made carpets, weaving and doing all the work, making numerous fancy bed-quilts, piecing silk, and making portieres; and is still doing this work in May, 1906. Her health is good, but her hearing is somewhat impaired. Children, b. No. Stonington: 3978. Lucy Morella, b.

Evergreen Cemetery, Yreker, Cal.; dau. of Erasmus D. and Hannah (Rodman) Campbell, of Peacedale. Mr. Crary was educated in the public schools of Fall River, Mass., Provi- dence and Newport, R. I., and Newburyport, Mass. He taught school in Westport, Mass., and Plainfield, Conn. In March, 1850, he set out from Plainfield on an adventure to seek gold in California, going down the Ohio and up the Mississippi and Missouri rivers; then he roughed it across the great American desert alone, sleeping on the ground and gazing into the starry heavens, with wolves and coyotes lending their hideous howls for a nightly serenade. At St. Joseph, Mo., almost broke, with a look ahead of two thousand miles, he joined a large company of gold-seekers, with horses, mules, and ox-teams, stages with six and eight horses, with passengers at $200 each, all for the gold-fields. His pack consisted of rifle, pistol, sixty pounds of crackers, and two venison hams. His load was heavy and he decided to try the "Irish buggy," a wheelbarrow. He was known every- where as "The Wheelbarrow Man." He crossed the Missouri River May 11, 1850, with no sign of civilization where now [1907] Kansas and Nebraska, 473 THE BROWN GENEALOGY ~ '"' two great commonwealths, have been established. For three hundred and fifty miles not a house was to be seen, but they were always in sight of the great emigration-trains. On June 23 Fort Laramie was reached. Com- missary stores being so light, he left his "buggy" in the Platte River, and bought a mule of the Sioux Indians. He now had an animal to pack and ride, nearly up to the South Pass of the Rocky Mountains. Joining a com- pany of Missourians who had abandoned their wagon and packed their oxen with their diminished belongings, they slowly moved forward, until Salt Lake City was reached, July 18, 1850, with wide streets, beautiful mountain water, and fine wheat-fields. He left Salt Lake City August i, and forty-two days afterwards arrived in California, about the time the State was admitted into the Union. The winter of 1850-185 1 was spent in gold-hunting; then he returned to the States, arriving, Jan. i, 1852, at Plainfield, the starting-place. The second trip for California began Apr. 9, 1852, via Panama. He arrived at old Siskiyou and engaged in mining with James Alden Peabody and George L. Willey, a descendant of the Willey family that were buried in a land and rock slide in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, Aug., 1826. He again returned to the States, this time with his sister, Mrs. Copeland, and Mr. Peabody, from San Francisco, by the Nicaragua route. In the autumn of 1854 he was married and went to live in La Crosse, Wis., where he remained for six years. He always had a longing for the Golden State, and went the third time, with his family, in May, i860; and there he still [1907] resides, near the same land and farm from which he dug gold in the early "fifties."

She was a true and faithful wife, whose devotion has brightened the pathway of her husband's life for more than fifty-three years; a kind, lov- ing, sympathetic, self-sacrificing mother, who counted no effort too great for the welfare and happiness of her family; whose loving counsel was cov- eted by every member of the family; whose last days were spent in longing to do more for her loved ones; and who felt to the last that there was much more for her to do," After their marriage they resided at Peterboro until 1866, when he purchased a large farm near Earlville, N.

The self-sacrificing labors and the towering grandeur of his charac- ter and the wide-spread and abounding influence which emanated from his life perpetuate his memory through many generations, leaving a shining record. The handful of corn on the tops of the mountains grew till now the mem- bership was three hundred and thirty-five. He served this church all these years without salary, and built the meeting-house from lumber cut from his "cedar swamp," with the assistance of his brethren. It was without paint, both interior and exterior; with galleries on three sides, a high pulpit on the north side, with an ascent of ten stairs, enclosed with panel work. When the minister was seated he could not be seen by the audience. He stood on a small platform, and was a commanding fig- ure. The writer was present when the last service was held in this old meeting-house, in the spring of 1845; '^ was like parting with one's dearest friend, and many tears were shed. It was suggested that they better let it stand, but it was taken down and the present house erected the same year. The ceiling of the porch of the new house was the panelling taken from the pews of the old house. The following items of interest by way of comparison are gleaned from the Stonington Baptist Association, as it was first called in the first printed minutes, which embraced churches in Rhode Island as far east as Exeter and Wickford and west to Waterford and Montville, Conn.

The successor to Elder Brown was Elder Asher Miner, who had been for ten years associate pastor with the aged minister, and at his death be- came sole pastor. The church has been, and is still, called the Miner Church, although many living at this distant day believe it should have been called the Elder Simeon Brown Church. Rev. Asher Miner was born in No. Stonington, Conn., Jan. 30, 1772. He was the son of Thomas and Mary (Page) Miner; married Lucy Spald- ing, Nov. 28, 1790; and was ordained in 1805. The church is beautifully located, second only to the church on Pendleton Hill for natural scenery and picturesqueness. Elder Miner was a contemporary with Elder Jona- than Miner of the First Church and Elder John Gano Wightman of the First Groton Church. Neither Elder Brown nor Elder Miner had the advantages of a collegiate or theological education, but were both men of natural endowments, and good understanding of the word of God. Their highest aim and the crown- ing efforts of their lives were to lead men and women, old and young, to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ, and in this crowning part of their work they were eminently successful; which is the pre-eminent work of the gospel ministrv. Elder Miner had been trained in church work by his illustrious predecessor, and had spent his whole life with this church. Elder Brown had laid the sure foundation and was worthy to be followed. There are yet living, in 1905 some who remember this saint of God, the tone of his voice, and the people who came in large numbers to attend divine worship. During his pastorate there were received nearly five hundred into the fellowship of this church. Although there were churches at this time in Westerly, Stonington, Mystic, much nearer, the people flocked to this old church in great numbers; so that during this pastorate the church numbered, at one time, four hundred and eighty. Elder Miner died Sept. i, 1836, and the people still worship in the old house. A few now, in 1905, remember Elder Asher Miner, whose whole term of SS6 Inimiiimuii Residence of dleorge A.

Nathan Maxson (720), his son, came in possession of it, and he and his wife Ruth died here. Horace Maxson (723) was the next heir, and his wife, Lovina, died here, and their daughter Sarah Catherine (726) was born and married in this house to Cyrus H. Brown (260). It has been celebrated as the rendezvous of the Sabbatarian fraternity for scores of years. Near this house is the Second Seventh Day Baptist meeting- house in America.

Edward Wightman, burned at the stake in Litchfield, England, in 161 2, the last man in England so to suffer for conscience' sake. Rev. Valentine Wight- man Rathbone settled in Pittsfield, Mass., in 1769, organized the first Baptist church in Pittsfield, and became its pastor in 1772. He was also a clothier. His fellow citizens manifested their esteem of his character and talents by electing him to represent them in county congresses, over which he often presided, and at interesting crises sent him to the General Court. Rev. Valentine Wightman, the father of Mary Wightman mentioned above, organ- ized the first Baptist church in Connecticut, and the first Baptist church west of Prov- idence, R. I. — at Groton, ini705. 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 Wight- man, 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 a service one of them addressed the minister: "Timothy, thou liest; thou knowest thou liest." He was a plain, fearless, discreet, faithful preacher, like his hon- ored 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 distinguished for solid, practical qualities of fervent and consistent piety, of an e.xcellent, goodly personal appearance and bearing, who won a high rank in the councils and associations of the Baptist denomination. He was pastor forty -one years. Thus father, son, and grandson served successively the old Groton church for one hundred and twenty-five years. 526 THE BROWN GENEALOGY Children: 4567.

The descent of Tabitha Brown and her sister Content (85) is wrongly given in the Rathbone Genealogy.

This error is corrected by the Chesebrough Genealogy, p. 517, .which, on the faith of tradition among the descendants of Content (Brown) Wightman (85), makes Thomas Brown, of Lynn, a descendant of Peter Brown, of the Mayflower.

THOMAS BROWN'S WILL The following is a copy of the orally declared last will and testament of Thomas Brown, senior, of Lynn, Mass.: The following was taken down in writing this day, being ye yth of Octo- ber, 1693: Memorandum — About two years since: though in ye last sickness of Thomas Brown, hereinafter named, he declared the following sentences as his last will and testament, who died about six weeks ago. Thomas Brown, of Lynn, Sen., being of proper memory and good un- derstanding, declared what his last will and testament should be, in the presence of Jeremiah Shepard, John Newhall senior, and Mary Shepard. After some serious discourse with Mr. Shepard about his spiritual condi- tion, he earnestly desired Mr. Shepard to be helpful to him in settling his temporal estate, and said he was very apprehensive of the decay of nature, by reason of many bodily infirmities that did weaken him, and therefore could not put long continuance in this world. So he thought it meet to take the present opportunity of expressing his mind concerning his last will and testament; and desired Mr. Shepard to draw it up that he might read it and subscribe to the same. And having committed his spirit to God, and his body to the dust, wishing a decent interment thereof, suitable to his rank and quality, he did thus, fearlessly, freely, and voluntarily and deliberately express himself: My will is, that after my honest debts and funeral charges are paid my home and homestead, with all my land in Lynn, as also my cattle and moveables, without doors, I give and bequeath to my son Ebenezer, who hath been very careful of me and my family, and whom I have betrusted with the management of my outward affairs, only my will is that my son Ebenezer provide for my wife, that she be comfortably maintained out of my estate. I give and bequeath to my wife all my moveables within doors, pewter, brass, bedding, &c., to be at her absolute disposal. I give to my eldest son Thomas, my long gun, which I value at forty shillings. I give to my son Joseph twenty shillings, having already bestowed some lands upon him. I give to my son John twenty shillings. 540 APPENDIX I give to my son Daniel five pounds. I give to my daughter Norwood twenty shillings. My will is that my loving wife should be executri.x, and my son Eben- ezer executor. To this, my last will and testament, I constitute my brother John New- hall, and Robert Potter, senior, to be my overseers. Thomas Brown did thus express his mind, in reference to his last will and testament, in presence of us. Jeremiah Shepard, Mary Shepard, John Newhall, Sen. Before ye Honored Bartho Gedney, Esq., October 9th, 1693, Mr. Jere- miah Shepard and Mary his wife, and John Newhall, Sen., made oath that what is within as above contained in this paper was expressed by said Thomas Brown as his last will and testament; and that said John Newhall and Mary Shepard, add that he also gave to his son Eleazer five pounds. Sworn to ye day aforesaid. Attest: Stephen Sewall, Register. [Extract from the Narragansett Weekly, May 22, 1884.] The names of many of the early settlers who came to Stonington, Conn, from Massachusetts, are herewith given and will be of interest to many. The Rev. Jeremiah Shepard, who wrote the aforesaid nuncupative will of Mr. Thomas Brown, Senior, of Lynn, Mass., was at that time a settled pastor of a church of that town. He was the youngest son of the famous Rev. Thomas Shepard, of Boston, Mass., by his third wife, Mrs. Margaret Borodel. The Rev. Jeremiah Shepard married Miss Mary Wainwright, and they became the parents of a large family of children, one of whom, Mary Shepard, married Isaac Wheeler, of Stonington, and settled with her husband on the north range of Taugwonk. They erected a double house, two stories in front and one in the rear. The west part, next the road, was used for a store. There Madam WTieeler, as she was called, engaged in trade, purchasing a large part of the surplus butter, cheese, poultry, beef, and pork that the farmers in this region had to sell, and then shipping it all to Boston by water. She also kept a stock of dry goods to exchange with farmers for their products. •These goods she usually purchased herself in Boston, when she sold her farm products. Her trips to Boston were made on horseback and alone, occupying, in going 541 THE BROWN GENEALOGY and coming, about four days. She was one of the most energetic, capable, and accomphshed business characters of her day, accumulating, for the time, a fortune, which was inherited by her son Thomas Wheeler, which made him at the time of his death, 1755, the richest man of Stonington. The occupation of Thomas Brown, Senior, of Lynn, was that of a ''dish- turner;" that of his son Thomas was a joiner, whose brother John was a carpenter, and built a large number of houses in Stonington. Eleazer was engaged in farming and stock-raising. Thomas, John, and Eleazer Brown sold all their possessions in Lynn to their brother Daniel Brown, under date of Feb. 25, 1706. The deeds were drawn and executed here, and recorded there. A large number of the early planters of old Stonington came here from Massachusetts. Wm. Chesebrough, our first planter, settled first in Boston, removed to Braintree, then to Rehoboth, and, in 1649, came here. Walter Palmer settled first in Charlestown, Mass., removed to Rehoboth, and then came to Stonington. Thomas Miner first settled in Charlestown, Mass., then removed to Stonington; from there he went to New London, and from New London came here. Capt. John Gallup settled first with his father in Boston; from there he removed to New London, and from there came here. John Breed came directly here from Lynn, Mass. Thomas Wheeler and his son Isaac Wheeler came here from Lynn, Mass. Capt. George Denison first settled in Roxbury, Mass.; from there went to New London, and from there came here. Robert Park and son Thomas Park, John Williams, Ebenezer Williams, and Eleazer Williamscamehere fromRoxbury, Mass. William Billingscame here from Dorchester, Mass. Amos Richardson came here from Boston. James York came here from Braintree, Mass. Thomas Hewett came here from Hingham, Mass. [WTieeler.] These names are common in Stonington and North Stonington at the present day. Appendix III. 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 459), to his son Christopher, Jr. (107), to his son Nathan W., and to his son Frank E. Brown; and is now [1904] in his possession; also other original ancient documents, in a good state of preservation. 542 APPENDIX COPY OF DEED.

In writing the records of some of the Brown families, it is found that many of their ancestors are worthy of honorable mention in connection with the First and Second Baptist Churches in what is now No. Stoning- ton. The First Baptist Church was organized in 1743; and Elder Wait Palmer was chosen its pastor and ordained the same year. At the time this church was organized there was but one other Baptist church in the State of Connecticut. This one was located at Groton, three miles west of Old Mystic; organized in 1705, with Valentine Wightman as its first pastor. It must be borne in mind that the date which marks the rise of this church carries us far back into the early settlement of the country — and seventy years before the Revolution. Wait Palmer was baptized May 27, 1711; he married Mary Brown (42), daughter of Eleazer Brown (11) and Mary Pendleton. They settled about three miles west of her father's house, on that fertile ridge of land called Taugwank; afterwards they removed to Pau-hun-gue-nuck Hill, now called Pendleton Hill. At this time the settlements were few, and the church small; but their spirit and courage we admire, the elevated tone of their piety, their patient endurance of suffering, and their manly resistance of religious despotism. They were extraordinary men, made so by the grace of God. Elder Palmer was a man of plain, common education, yet of strong, vig- orous intellect, of .sound, practical sense. Books he had none. The Bible alone was the man of his council, his almost exclusive study; hence he be- came mighty in the Scriptures. He owned a farm of ninety acres a little west of the Pendleton Hill meeting-house. He received comparatively no support from the Church, and he often preached in destitute settlements. He held meetings in Preston, where afterwards there became a flourishing Baptist church, and in Tolland also, where he baptized the celebrated Shubael Stearns arid shortly after assisted with Joshua Morse in his ordi- nation, who became the most remarkable preacher of his time. He formed a church in North Carolina, and in a short time had 606 members. He really evangelized the States of South Carolina and Georgia. Elder Palmer baptized Simeon Brown (72), the first pastor of the Second Church in this town. We cannot state at the close of his ministry the numerical strength of the 55° First Baptist Meeting-House North Stonington, Conn. (Pendleton Hill) ^■^■■•' Dr. H. C. Brown S. Euffene Brown Baptist C h u r c h Brookfield, N. Y. This meeting-house is owned and occupied by the Seventh Day Baptist Society and the First Day Baptist Society. In the picture is the First Day parsonage ; th e parsonage of the Seventh Day Society is located in another part of the town. APPENDIX church, but it was fast gaining strength and power. During the pastorate of Elder Palmer we have no data as to when the church was built, but find that the land for it was given by Daniel Brown (24), cousin to Elder Palmer's wife, and Thomas Holmes. The house was located two miles south ot Pendleton Hill, near Zebulon York's, on the east side of the road. The compiler remembers it as a small and very old brown house, after it had been deserted from twelve to fifteen years. Mr. Palmer was the fiist pastor of this church, and it was at a period which tried men's souls, as he labored extensively for the diffusion of truth with our earliest ministers in the great work of gathering and planting churches. We are constrained to rev- erence his name and memory, and regard him as worthy to be enrolled among the noble men of his day. Elder Palmer was an active patriot in the Revolution, soon after which he died, in 1790, nearly ninety years old. Interment, half a mile south of the present Pendleton Hill meeting-house, in an unmarked grave. The following record was found among the old records of the First Bap- tist Church (Pendleton Hill), asking the Second Church to give up their beloved brother, Eleazer Brown, to become their minister. Quoted as written : "The Church of Christ under the Pastorate Charge of Elder Simeon Brown. To the Church of Christ, formerly of Elder Palmer's Charge, sends greeting, wishing, grace, Mercy and Peace, to be multiplied unto you, through our Lord Jesus Christ. To whom be glory and praise Amen. " Beloved, whereas we on the 9th of this Instant December 1769 Received a request from you by your Messengers: that we would manifest our free- dom in giving up to your Watchcare our Beloved Brother Eleazer Brown; that you may be enabled to set him apart to be your Minister and Sealer under Christ, the great Head of the Church. In answer to which we hereby send you our Letter of Reccomendation, reccomending our said Brother as one visibly Clean, and in regular standing in our Church as having a Spe- cial Gift from God to preach the everlasting Gospel. " Wishing and praying the Blessing of Heaven to attend him, and you Amen. "Signed in behalf of the Church — Stonington, Dec."" 9"^ Sands Niles * 1769. Clerk'' The second pastor of this church was Eleazer Brown (139), who came to this church as a licentiate from the Second Baptist Church in this town, which was organized in 1765. In this capacity he ser\-ed the church for the 551 THE BROWN GENEALOGY term of four years and was ordained as pastor June 24, 1770. The minis- ters who assisted were, Joshua Morse, Timothy Wightman, of the First Church of Groton, Simeon Brown (72), of the Second Church in this town. Mr. Brown was a man whom God had eminently fitted for the station he was to occupy. He waited with becoming modesty for four years the acceptance of the church, yet all the time preached to the church, which watched his steady demeanor, his ripening gifts and growing worth. From the minutes of the Stonington Union Association the church numbered ninety-seven. Towards the close of his ministry there came, in 1791, a great outpouring of the Spirit of God; the seed faithfully sown began to bear much fruit, and at this revival the church received an accession of fifty-two, making the total membership one hundred and fifty-two. Elder Brown had, it is said, 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 as one of the most eminent preachers of his day. Peleg Randall was baptized Nov. 19, 1784, and was ordained an evan- gelist Oct. 25, 1792; on this occasion the aged pastor of this church with much propriety gave the charge. The old pastor, worn with long labor, was about to be taken up to his reward; but ere he departed he poured the sacred oil upon the head of his successor. This was his only pastorate, and the longest of this church, extending over a period of twenty-five years. On the nth of July, 1795, he fell asleep in Jesus, in the twenty-seventh year of his ministry. Interment in Brown Cemetery, north of the Second Church. The third pastor of this church was Peleg Randall, who succeeded Elder Brown in 1792. Dr. A. G. Palmer says of him: "His discourses were cool, deliberate, instructive, but were usually wanting in the glowing warmth and animation for which his revered predecessor was so highly distinguished. He was at times impassioned, ardent, and impressive in his delivery, often becoming, towards the close of his discourse, deeply moved himself, hence deeply moving others. ' ' Although no general revival was enjoyed under his ministry, yet it was by no means unfruitful in the conversion of souls. At this time this church was not alone, for the Second Church was organized five miles to the south, with Elder Simeon Brown as pastor, in 1765, which must have drawn a number by letter from this church to the Second Church. Mr. Randall closed his labors with this church Oct. 8, 1813, and the church was left without a pastor. Rev. Jonathan Miner was ordained at the First Church in Groton, Feb. 14, 1814, to which this church sent delegates; and because of the impression 552 APPENDIX the candidate made upon these delegates the church resolved at once to call him to preach to them for one year. The call was accepted, and Mr. Miner took up his residence with them in the spring of 1814. During the first three months of his ministry fifty-six members were added to the church by baptism. The work of grace continued from year to year, as revival followed revival, up to the close of his ministry. But there were years of comparative unfruitfulness. At the close of 1814 the church numbered one hundred and eighty-five. The next general re- vival under the leadership of Elder Miner commenced in the autumn of 1822 and extended till April, 1823. Many in the meridian of life were re- ceived and baptized into the fellowship of the church. Dr. A. G. Palmer said, on the occasion of the one-hundredth anniversary of this church: "These were days of childhood with many of us; but they left an impression upon our hearts which neither time nor eternity will ever efface. It was the first bright spot in our existence, the enkindling of the spiritual life within us, the lighting up in our young minds, the hope of immortality." By this revival the church received an accession of fifty-one members, ma- king the whole number two hundred and thirty-one. All of these years of the existence of this pioneer church, till 1830, thev worshipped in the old meeting-house, and here had been gathered a large and flourishing body of spiritual members. But the time had come for the church to enlarge its house of worship. Accordingly, in 1830, they rebuilt on that beautiful plateau, Pendleton Hill, commanding a most magnifi- cent view of the surrounding country and of the ocean, fifteen miles awav. The dedicatory sermon was preached by Elder John Gano Wightman, of the First Groton Church, now [1905] Old Mystic. Elder Wightman was grandson of Valentine Wightman; his father was Timothy Wightman, the three elders serving successively one hundred and twenty-five years. Now, this First Groton Church is two hundred years old. But to return: ninety-one years had now passed in the history of this church, and it had but four pastors, and under their efficient labors it had advanced from a state of extreme feebleness to comparative strength and prosperity. During this time the increasing population of the town gave to the church a larger field to draw from; hence, during the closing years of Elder Miner's ministry of faithful service, we note large ingatherings to the church. Up to this time the church had paid their ministers no salary. Elder Miner said to the church, after they had built their new and commodious house of worship, "You ought now to pay your minister a little salary." His term of servnce was twenty years, terminating in March, 1834. From 553 THE BROWN GENEALOGY this time till 1837 the church was without a pastor. In 1835 'Another wave of revival interest came, when forty-five were received by baptism. In the autumn of 1837 another awakening began, and as the result of a faith- ful working church, forty precious souls were gathered into the fold of Christ. During this time the oversight of the church devolved upon the deacons, who filled their offices well; hence a most excellent report of their steward- ship by constant ingatherings. As many of the Brown ancestors participated in duties and labors of this church, from the very first and all through the century, and cooperated with it, the compiler was desirous of taking a glance at its history for the first one hundred years. The only other long pastorate of this church was Rev. D. S. Chapman's, fourteen years; he died pastor of the church. Peo- ple came to the old church long distances in those early times, and it was no uncommon thing to see, hitched around and near this meeting-house, thirty, forty, or even fifty horses with saddle and pillion on their backs. That was when they were glad when they said, "Let us go into the house of the Lord." Services have been regularly maintained all these one hundred and sixty-two years. The deacons of this church have an honorable mention, being men of God, laboring zealously for the saving of the lost, using the office of deacon well, and getting to themselves a good report. Appendix IX. SECOND BAPTIST CHURCH OF NO. STONINGTON, CONN. The Second Baptist Church of No. Stonington, Conn., was organized in March, 1765, with Elder Simeon Brown (72) as pastor. Elder Brown was born in Stonington Jan. 31, 1723, a man of strong native talents; he was converted under the preaching of Whitefield, in 1745. He united with Rev. Stephen Babcock in forming the Baptist Church in Westerly, R. I., in 1750; and was baptized by Rev. Wait Palmer in 1764, being ordained the same year. His pastorate and watchful care over this church extended from the organization, in 1765, till his death, in 1815 — fifty years and eight months, a noble record to be engraved on his monument in Brown Cemetery in his native town. His descendants may well be proud of the character and the consecrated .^54 APPENDIX service was thirty-one years. On his tombstone in Union Cemetery is inscribed: The gospel was his joy and song, Even to his latest breath ; The truth he had proclaimed so long Was his support in death. The names of some of the ministers who succeeded Elder Miner were Elder Erastus Denison, Elder John Green, who often supplied, Thomas Barber, Elder C. C. Lewis, who was a man of fervor and power, and died in the pastoral office of this church Mar. lo, 1864, in his fifty-seventh year. This new house has not witnessed such powerful revivals as did the former, many of the young people having left the country church and being found in the cities and villages all over the land. The men of God who served as deacons should be mentioned, — at least some of them, — but nearly all have fallen asleep. Of the following, the compiler remembers all except the first: Zebulon Brown (74), brother of Elder Simeon Brown; John Stanton (b. 1753), died in 1851, at the age of ninety-eight; Josiah Brown (279), son of Elder Simeon Brown; Josiah Brown, Jr. (304); Allen Wheeler (b. 1793); Cyrus W. Brown (253); Reu- ben W. York. The acting deacons in 1905 are: Horace F. York, Richard WTieeler, and C. L. Gray. Appendix X. THIRD BAPTIST CHURCH, NO. STONINGTON, CONN. The Third Baptist Church was organized Dec. 25, 1828. The town of Stonington had been divided, and No. Stoningtoji had been set off from it in 1807. A committee of interested persons was appointed, Dec. 10, 1828, to adopt articles of faith for a contemplated church. The committee con- sisted of Samuel Chapman, Rev. Levi Walker, John F. Wheeler, and re- ported the articles of faith. They were adopted and remain unchanged. According to custom, a council was called for recognition of the body, and it met Dec. 25, 1828, approving the organization. The sermon was preached by Rev. Wm. Bentley. Others who took part in the recognition services were: Revs. John Gano Wightman, Wm. Palmer, Luther Godard, Benja- min M. Hill, Jabez S. Swan, Jonathan Miner, and Asher Miner. The 557 THE BROWN GENEALOGY eight persons who received letters from their churches were: Rev. Levi Walker, M.D., Samuel Chapman, David Holmes, Sally Wheeler, Phebe Walker, Lucy Chapman, Lucy Grant, and Emily Fanning. Three days after the recognition, the church received seven members by baptism, the ordinance being performed by Elder Jabez S. Swan; others united by letter and baptism, so that in June, 1829, when the church joined the Stonington Union Association, this new church reported thirty mem- bers and had several ministers as supplies, meeting at the schoolhouse. In 1833 the membership was fifty. Urged by the growth of numbers and the demands of the community, the church and society in 1833 erected the present house of worship, then, as still, a beautiful and substantial sanctuary. In a few months the amount raised was $2,000. The roll of subscribers began with: Saxton Miner, $100; Thomas P. Wattles, $100; Deacon Ezra Miner, $100; Daniel Bentley, $100; Benjamin Hewitt, $125; Rufus Williams, $100; David Coats, $100. The lot, containing three-fourths of an acre of land, cost $125. The members of the society hold the property in trvist for the use and benefit of the Baptist denomination forever. The first acting pastor of this new church was Rev. Levi Walker, M.D. He was born in Massachusetts, moved to Maine, was converted in 1804, and for a time was a Methodist circuit preacher. He afterwards be- came a Baptist and united with the First Baptist Church in Fall River, Mass. Mr. Walker studied medicine and entered upon his practice, mean- while continuing to preach, and became pastor of the Baptist Church in Warwick, R. I., in 18 16. He then became pastor of the Preston City Church, Conn., in 1819, and settled on a farm in No. Stonington in 1823. He preached with success in various districts, organizing the first Sunday school in the town and accomplishing much in his two professions. He died Dec. 12, 1869, aged eighty-five years and ten months. His three sons also went into the ministry. In 1834 Rev. Feronda Bestor became its pastor, and at that time the new church was dedicated. Mr. Bestor remained three years, and received thirty-eight by baptism, forty-five by letter. The church numbered at this time one hundred and twenty-eight. The church in 1837 entertained the Association for the first time, and Rev. Alfred Gates was the pastor and re- mained about one year. A special revival was enjoyed, and twenty-seven were admitted by baptism, and in 1837 the church numbered one hundred and fifty-two, with a Sabbath school of sixteen teachers and ninety pupils. Rev. Alfred Gates was born in Granville, N. Y., in 1803. He studied at Hamilton, N. Y., and was ordained at Willimantic, Conn., in 183 1. He 558 APPENDIX was pastor at Preston, Conn., and other churches. He died at Montville, Conn., Jan. 30, 1875. The church was supplied by several ministers until 1842, when Rev. B. C. Grafton was called, under whose labors fifty-three were added by baptism. He remained about one year. Rev. Edward T. Hiscox, from Hamilton University, N. Y., supplied the church about six months, and was ordained Jan. 18, 1844, when he was called and removed to Westerly, R. I., Apr. 18, 1844. Rev. James R. Stone was his successor. The church was enrolled with one hundred and eighty-seven members. Levi Walker, Jr., was licensed to preach Dec. 18, 1829. Born in New Bedford, Mass., in 1811, he was converted in this town. After pastorates in New Hampshire and Massachusetts, he returned to No. Stonington, where he died in February, 1839, loved by all who knew him. A number of young men converted in this church became successful min- isters, I842-I848,^ among whom were Edwin D. Bentley, Ralph H. Maine, and William H. Randall. The latter, during the Civil War, recruited a company and entered the field as captain. For heroic conduct at Chancel- lorsville he was promoted to major; he also served his command as cap- tain. In 1865 he resumed the pastorate; but, failing in health, he sought restoration in Florida, but died Mar. 7, 1874, aged fifty-six years. During the pastorate of James R. Stone, on Oct. 18, 1846, another re- vival began, and continued through the following winter. On Oct. 18, 1846, Cyrus H. Brown, Louisa A. Brown, Gideon P. Brown, and Maryette Bvirdick were baptized and received into the church. On Mar. 28, 1847, twenty-eight had been admitted into the church. The compiler retained his membership with this church ten years, removing to Boston in 1856, where he united with the Brighton Avenue Baptist Church, retaining membership there until 1898, when, removing from there to Westerly, R. I., he joined the Calvary Baptist Church. Rev. James R. Stone, afterwards Dr. Stone, after three years of service, severed his connection with this church, much to its regret. The next to come on the field was Daniel Henry Miller, a young man who came over from the Methodist to the Baptist faith. He received ordination Dec. 15, 1847. David Coates said of him, "He will be quite a preacher when he becomes a man; he is only a boy now." His ministry here, as in all his fields of la- bor, was marked with energy, ability, and success. The fortieth anniversary of his ministry was celebrated Dec. 15, 1887. Rev. George H. Miner said of his early pastorate with this people: " I seem to see a young man, tall and somewhat slender in form, with a commanding presence; bold and fearless, his voice impressive and solemn, full of reverential awe. Now in whis- 559 THE BROWN GENEALOGY pered tones he utters the most tender appeals and the sweetest comforts, and as the winds rise and sway the forest trees and shake the very earth, and the belching thunders pour forth their loud rumblings, and the sharp lightnings flash and the awful tempest is upon us, so his words alternate between the gentle and the awful, the tender and the dreadful." In April, 1849, Mr. Miller (since Dr. Miller) resigned his pastorate, much to the regret of the church, having pastorates in Yonkers, N. Y., Elizabeth, N. J., and Norwich, Conn. Dr. Miller was also chaplain in the Civil War. His successor was Rev. Orin T. Walker, of Martha's Vine- yard, Mass. It was a home-coming to Mr. Walker. His ministry commenced early in 1850, and continued until April, 1853. Many will recall his labors in the schoolhouses of Ashwillet. Mr. Walker's resignation was much regretted. He was called to New London, Conn., New Jersey, Boston, and Chicago. Rev. Thomas W. Clarke succeeded Mr. Walker. At this time the mem- bership was the largest at any time in its history, being two hundred and twenty-three. In 1853 the church lamented the death of David Coats, aged eighty-seven years. His descendants have a special record in this genealogy. Active in the church were Rev. Levi Walker, Benj. B. Hewitt, Ansel Coats, and John C. Coats, the constant and efficient church clerk for forty- eight years, Nathan Edgcomb and Thomas Edgcomb, Daniel Bentley, the Breeds, the Grants, the Stewarts, the Wheelers, the Hillards, and Ephraim W. Maine, Joseph Frink, Capt. Babcock, Deacon Cyrus W. Brown, Samuel Thompson, and good women not a few, whose records, with those of these good men, are now in the Book of Life. The pastors from 1856 to 1905 were: Henry W. Webber, Joseph Burnett, 1857, Edgar A. Hewitt, i860, C. W. Ray, 1862, Samuel D. Ashley, 1868, J. W. Holman, 1870, Fenner B. Dickinson, 1874, William D. Morgan, 1877, James D. Noble, 1878, W. W. Staples, 1880, J. Edred Jones, 1881, Daniel E. Easton, 1884, Edwin D. Bentley, 1888, Francis Purvis, 1891, C. Grant Savage, 1893, Richard Kemp, 1896, Frank D. Luddington, 1899, H. A. Calhoun, 1901, and Lucian Drury, 1904. Since the organization of the church only six have been chosen as dea- cons: John T. Wheeler, 1834, Ezra Miner, 1834, Benjamin T. BiUings, 1875, Nelson A. Brown, 1875, William H. Hillard, 1888, and Nathan S. Edgcomb, 1888. The church has received a number of substantial bequests. From Miss Abby Miner the church was made her residuary legatee, receiving $2,343, in 1881. The church received in 1882, from the estate of Mrs. Mary A. 560 APPENDIX (Crandall) Gallup, widow of John Dean Gallup, $250, on the condition that the church raise an equal amount. In 1886 it received from the estate of Oliver Sisson $150. At this time the church took from its treasury $7 to add to the fund, making a total of $3,000. From the estate of Mrs. Louisa (Palmer) Crandall, widow of Oliver S. Crandall, the church received $250. About 1870 B. F. Sisson, of Binghamton, N. Y., a native of the town, donated $100 toward a new bell for the church tower. While there were many very worthy families of whom honorable mention could be made in connection with the church, among others will be men- tioned John O. and Thomas W. Wheeler and wife, Emily Elizabeth (Brown) Wheeler and daughter, Nancy Mary Wheeler, wife of Deacon W. H. Hillard. They entertained and made a pleasant home for many ministers who came as supplies, and were also leaders of the singing in the church nearly all their lives. On the decease of Mrs. W. H. Hillard, she gave, in 1902, her piano to the church. At the decease of Mrs. WTieeler, Jan. 29, 1905, she made the church her residuary legatee, consisting mostly of her real estate, two houses and lands, pleasantly located in the village, requesting it to be sold, and the interest used as a perpetual fund for the church. The church should hold in grateful remembrance the fathers and moth- ers, the sons and daughters, who have consecrated their lives to the service of God. Appendix XI. HISTORY OF THE FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH OF BROOK- FIELD, N. Y. 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, 1792, 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 561 THE BROWN GENEALOGY 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 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. i8, 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 1905. This Brookfield Baptist Church has ordained nine pastors and licensed twelve to preach the gospel. It has alw^ays 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 communion service. In September, 1801, the church joined the Otsego Baptist Asso- ciation, 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 eyebrows and a massive forehead, always clean shaven, and 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 services 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 were 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; O.N. Fletcher, Nov. i, 1866; A. V. B. Crumb, Aug. 23, 1876, missionary to Bur- mah; R. J. Thompson, Aug. 15, 1883. The Deacons, from organization to 1905, were: Daniel Maine, Nathan Brown, Bell Lewis, Wait Clarke, Samuel Browne, Thomas E. Craine, George Crumb, Morgan L. Brown, Don F. Maine, Avory Cole. 562 APPENDIX 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. Appendix XII. Eunice Turner is a direct descendant of Elder William Brewster of the Plymouth Colony, 1620. The line of descent is as follows: 1.
