It is not exactly known when Eleazer Brown removed to the State ofNew York, but in New York land papers of recordes of petitions for andgrants of land are found many familier names around Brookfield, Edmestonand Columbus. Eleaxer Brown had a certificate of purchase of 250 acresDec. 1, 1790, for lot 84, township 19. Also Simeon Brown, Jr., lot 81,250 acres. He settled at Brookfield. Jabish Brown had a certificate ofpurchase in 1791, in Chenango Township, of 500 acres. These three earlysettlers were nexr relatives, going from their hometown, Stonington, atdifferent times.* Thus it would appear that Eleaxer Brown settled atBrookfield.
*Om "Otsego County HIstory of New York" is found the following records:"In 1795 Eleazer Brown settled in Brookfield, NY. The family consisted ofwife and seven children."

Prentice Brown followed a blazed trail from Stonington, Conn.through New York State into Otsego County. He was a blacksmith.
page 269. Note -- While it is said that Prentice Brown was born atStonington, I am inclined to believe that it was his father, Eleazer, whoblazed the trail into New York State when it was comparatively one vastwilderness, in the last half of 1700. Eleazer, with Simeon Brown, Jr., ismentioned as a pioneer to New York State in this same connection in 1791.Therefore I believe that Prentice Brown was born in Madison Co., NY.Stonington, Conn., at this time, one hundred years after the three Brownbrothers made their settlement in this wilderness, had become verythickly settled, and every acre of available land was unter cultivation,and the same spirit of adverture crowded these sons of Elder EleazerBrown from their home town, Stonington, to seek new and cheaper land andmore productive in the west -- "out west, " it was then called.
It was with much difficulty and long research that the compilerlocated these brothers, -- Eleazer, Benjamin, and Luther, -- for norecords are left of where such adventurers fled to.
