She is NOT the daughter of Joshua Holmes, Jr. and Fear Sturgis. That Temperance Holmes' marriages were John Smith in 10 May 1727, and JamesTreadway in 10 Dec 1761.

Sources: Brown Genealogy.

Barbour in his Stonington vitals, v2, p68 (film 2,923), has a Temperance
Holmes born 17 Jan. 1727/1728. This would be the daughter of John Holmes,son
of Joshua Jr. and Fear Sturgis.
Don't know how Eleazer's wife ties in with the Holmes family. But
Brown Genealogy could be wrong. Maybe Eleazer was married to Mary all
the time and did not have a first marriage--although he did have adaughter
named Temperance Brown.

Elder Eleazer Brown(139), son of Eleazer (39) [Eleazer (11),Thomas], was born in Stonington, Conn., June 1, 1728 and died July 11,1795 (tombstone), sisty-eight year of his age and twenty-seventh of hisministry. He married Oct. 16, 1755, Ann Green, of Hopkinton, RI, who wasborn 1735 and died Sept. 15, 1803, sisty-ninth year of her age.

THE BROWN GENEALOGY, by Cyrus Herny Brown, Vol. 2, page 267.
Elder Brown was the second pastor of the First Baptist Church, ofStonington (Pendleton Hill). This was his only pastorate, extending overa period of twenty-seven years. Elder Brown, it is said, had be littleeducation, but was a man of strong native powers, of vivid thought andconception, and of flowing, rapid delivery. He was rightly esteemed oneof the most eminet preachers of his day. In 1791, towards the close ofhis ministry, there came a great outpouring of the Spirit of God; and theseed faithfully sown began to bear much fruit, and at this revival thechurch received an accession of fifty-two, making the total membershipone hundred and fifty-two. (For a full account, see B.G., pp. 551, 552.
Elder Eleazer Brown's house stood a few rods east of the BrownBurying-ground, opposite the present parsonage of the Second Church, inNo. Stonington, where the cellar is still to be seen. This house wasstruck by lightning while Elder Brown was preaching in the near-bychurch. Two young people were killed by lightning, one up stairs and theother down, while shutting windows. The compiler's mother said they wereengaged to be married. Another mother reported that they were John andHulda, but it is not certain about their names.

[Temperance and Comfort Brown had a son Amos who moved to Leyden,
Mass. Leyden town records (film 866,466), page 250, records births of six
children of Amos and Esther Brown, one of them a son named Comfort, born
September 1797. And page 204 notes the death of widow Temperance Brown 24Oct. 1805 "in the 75th year of her age." It looks, perhaps, thatTemperance was cared for by her son, Amos. Also Temperance's half-brotherPeleg was in Leyden until about 1797.]
