Four of the children of Thomas Browne remained in MA, while three ofthem came to Stonington, CT, before 1688. They purchased and receivedlarge tracts of land most of which was located in the present town ofNorth Stonington, bounded as follows: the western boundary was nearly allon Ossekonk Swamp, the northern bounds of which extended from theOssekonk brook on the west on Shunnock River on the east, joining on thenorth the lands of the late Stephen Avery and lands of the Maine family,to the lands of the Randall family; eaterly on the Randall land to theRichardson's possessions; on the south by the Palmer family land andMiner territory; and on the west by the Wheeler family land up to thesaid Ossekonk Swamp.
Eleazer Brown, b. Lynn MA, Aug 5, 1670; d. Stonington CT, now NorthStonington, Nov 30, 1734. m. Ann Pendleton, Oct. 18, 1693.
His house stood in the eastern part of the lands purchased by theBrown brothers, about twenty-five rods south of the Brown Cemetery, andnorth of the Miner Meeting-house. Headstones were erected to their gravesby the late Daniel Brown (386). Probably these were the first intermentsin these grounds. He was a farmer and stock-raiser.

Wheeler & IGI say Eleazer I was born Aug. 4, 1670. Wheeler in anotherplace
says Aug. 5. Brown Genealogy, Vols. I and II, says Aug. 4.
Another source says Aug. 15. Brown lists the marriage and death datesand
place of birth. Wheeler confirms the Aug. 4 death date. Bible recordscopied
from older records (Found on Film 862,766, Vol. 10, Page 9), confirm the
marriage and death dates. Am. Marriage Records confirm marriage date.

Gravestone, apparently erected well after his death, reads:
Eleazer
Son of
Thomas Brown
of Lynn, Mass.
Born Aug. 5, 1670
Died Nov. 30, 1734

Eleazer and his older brothers, Thomas and John, sold theirposssessions
in Reading, MA, and came to Connecticut "at maturity" sometime after1677. They
purchased adjacent farms near Browne's Mountain in what is now North
Stonington. Their cattle marks were recorded in May 1688. Eleazer waslisted in
B.G. as "engaged in farming and stock-raising." He resided in Westerly,Rhode
Island, as well as Stonington. His wife inherited property in Westerly,
although it was deeded in his name.

Thomas and John were mentioned in their father's will, along withJoseph,
Daniel, daughter Norwood and Ebenezer (executor) but not Eleazer or other
siblings.
The area where Eleazer and his brothers lived was called Stoningtonbefore
1807. In 1807, that inland area became known as North Stonington, hencethe
burial site is today in North Stonington. Stonington is a seaport area.

THE BROWN GENEALOGY, Vol. I, Boston, The Everett Press Company 1907, byCyrus Henry Brown, page 12, 14.
James Brown (38), son of Eleazer (11) and Ann (Pendleton) Brown,born Stonington, Conn., July 1, 1696. He died Feb. 2, 1750, agefifty-five years. He married Elizabeth Randall, May 5, 1718, by Rev.James Noyes, of Stonington. She was born July 4, 1696 and died Aug. 25,1786, age ninety-one years. Internment in Brown Cemetery. His wife,Elizabeth, was the daughter of John Randall and Abigail ___, whose familyname and birth does not appear on record. She was the granddaughter ofJohn Randall, the progenitor of the Randall family of Westerly, RI, andStonington, Conn. His name first appears at Newport, RI from which placehe came to Westerly as early as 1667, where the remainder of his life wasspent. The Randall land was about four miles northeast of StoningtonBorough, known as Angwilla and considered the finest land of the town.These lands join on the north the lands of Thomas Brown (2), and havebeen in the Randall name as late as 1875. These farms now, in 1906, aremostly owned by Elias Miner (1164) and his sons. The Randall familieswere highly respected and progressive, ranking high in moral character,and prominent citizens of the town.

THE BROWN GENEALOGY, Vol. 2, by Cyrus Henry Brown, pp. 241.
It must be remembered that when James Brown was born the country wasin a primitive state, almost a vast wilderness. His father, Eleazer, withhis axe, had begun to let in the sunshine in a few places, and to stirthe virgin soil and scatter a little seed, making an opening for futuresettlers. James Brown built his house on lands first set off to hisfather, Eleazer (11), on the most beautiful situation of any of the landspurchased by the three Brown brothers. This house built by James Brownwas located opposite what is now the Union Cemetery. The compilerremembers the old, old house from 1840 to 1845, which soon after was torndown. It was a one-story house, fronting south, with east end frontingthe country road. The house and barn were built of native lumber, sawedat the mill erected by his father, and assisted by the older son,Jonathan and James, the subject of this sketch. The barn fell down beforethe house was pulled down.
The house contained but four rooms on the first floor; there mighthave been an attic. The compiler was in and out of these during fiveyears of his boyhood. The house stood on a gradual sloping plateau,affording a most picturesque view for miles around. The land is rich andfertile. The father of the compiler hired the land for a number of years,and on the same the compiler worked for five years. After the house wasremoved, the well covered, and grounds cleared and leveled off, there wasnot a thing to show the spot where these illustrious children were born.

Brown, p266, cites New London Probate Records, Vol. G, p. 179, 2Dec.1757. Heirs mentioned: Widow Mary Brown (indicating a second wife)Jeremiah Brown, 2nd son (1st son Nathan died at the age of 2); Eleazer,first son; John Butler and wife Mary, eldest daughter; Rebeckah, thirddaughter; Timothy, third son; John, fourth son; Peleg, fifth son; ComfortBrown and wife Temperance, second daughter; Phebe Brown, fourth daughter;Ruth Brown, fifth daughter.
The Brown Cemetery in North Stonington has no grave recorded for thisEleazer or his wives. The Stonington Historical Society reports: "Quiteoften before the 1770's they used only a crude fieldstone to mark agrave. Head-
stones were for the really well-to-do or the well-organized." Thegravestones for Eleazer and Ann Pendleton Brown were erected many yearsafter their deaths by a descendant. This could account for Ann's birthdate info on the
tombstone not jibing with other sources.
Stonington Cemeteries, film 3,096: A Mary Brown died 20 Nov. 1785,Cemetery 47, p353. Stonington Historical Society reports this Mary Brownwas the daughter of Stephen and Hannah Brown. Apparently she nevermarried.
Wheeler in Brown section of his book says Eleazer Brown and TemperanceHolmes, both of Stonington, were married in 1723. In the Holmes section,he says a Temperance Holmes, born 29 Jan. 1707, daughter of Joshua,married (1) 10 May 1727 John Smith and (2) James Treadway. Joshua livedin what is now North Stonington. [Apparently two Temperance Holmes.]Colonial Families of America, Vol. 4, page 467, says a Temperance,daughter of Joshua Holmes, born 29 Jan. 1707, married John Smith ofGroton 10 May 1727. He was born 14 June 1704 and died 22 Dec. 1758. [Seenotes for this Temperance Holmes, RIN 97. She died after 10 Dec. 1761.That was the day she married her second husband--many years after theother Temperance had presumably died.]]
Brown Genealogy has the same info as Wheeler in his Brown section, butformer says info is from Stonington town records. Both say Eleazer andTemperance were married in 1723.
An IGI record gives a 1 June 1728 (typo?) marriage date, married inStonington Township. Everett Hall Pendleton says they were married in1723 and that Temperance was Eleazer's first wife and Mary ________ washis second.
Mary was on the scene 14 Nov. 1736, according to records of the NorthStonington Congregational Church. Rebecca was born 19 Jan. 1735--22months earlier. That date is from two films on Stonington vitals. Browngenealogy and Wheeler say 19 June 1735. Transcribing error? June becameJan or Jan became June. Assuming Mary was Eleazer's second wife, shewould be the mother of Phebe, Timothy, John, Peleg and Ruth (all bornbetween
4 July 1737 and 27 June 1749). Temperance Brown, presumably, would be thedaughter of Temperance (Holmes) Brown. Jeremiah and Rebecca probably werethe children of Temperance also, but one or both could be Mary's, sincewe have found no marriage record for Eleazer and Mary. [I will allot thechildren through Rebecca to Temperance.]

Regardless, it appears Mary was my Peleg's mother.

Records of Rev. Joseph Fish of the Congregational Church of NorthStonington say Eleazer II was a church member before 1 July 1733 and hiswife Mary was received into the church and baptized 24 Oct. 1742. It alsosays Eleazer II and wife Mary "received baptism" 14 Nov. 1736, same dayas five Brown children. Church records state that Eleazer, Jeremiah,Rebecca, Mary and Temperance were baptized 14 Nov. 1736 and werechildren of Eleazer Brown and wife Mary and that Peleg Brown, son ofEleazer and wife Mary, was baptized 16 Dec. 1744.

[North Stonington Church records also say an Eleazer Brown of Westerly,R.I., married Sarah Die, 10 Nov. 1742. This, according to Everett HallPendleton, was Eleazer, son of Jonathan Brown and Elizabeth Pendleton,who probably died in the French and Indian War.]

Wheeler cites New London Probate Records, Vol. G, p. 170, 2 Dec. 1757.(This doesn't jibe with the tombstone death date). Heirs mentioned: WidowMary Brown (indicating a second wife); Jeremiah Brown, second son (firstson Nathan died at the age of 2); Eleazer, first son; John Butler andwife Mary, eldest daughter; Rebeckah, third daughter; Timothy, third son;John, fourth son; Peleg, fifth son; Comfort Brown and wife Temperance,second daughter; Phebe Brown, fourth daughter; Ruth Brown, fifthdaughter.

A Stonington deed, info from John Henderson, says Lt. John Ashcraftsold a
small quantity of Stonington land to Elizor Brown. This was mentioned ina land record dated 15 June 1717 in which Ashcraft sold a tract of land,less the small quantity previously sold to "Elizor" Brown, to PeterBelton of Groton. The Elizor could refer to either Eleazer Brown Jr. orSr.

Elder Brown was the first pastor of the Second Baptist Church, No.Stonington, for fifty years and eight months.

SECOND BAPTIST CHURCH OF NO. STONINGTON, NEW LONDON, CT.
The Second Baptist Church of No. Stonington, CT was organized inMarch, 1765, with Elder Simeon Brown as pastor. Elder Brown was born inStonington Jan. 31, 1723, a man of strong native talents; he wasconverted under the preaching of Whitefield, in 1745. He united with Rev.Stephen Babcock in forming the Baptist Church in Westerly, RI in 1750;and was baptized by Rev. Wait Palmer in 17--, being ordained the sameyear. His pastorate and watchfull care over this church extended from theorganization, in 1765, until his death in 1815 - fifty years and eightmonths, a nobel record to be engraved on his monument in Brown Cementeryin his native town.
His descendants may well be proud of the character and theconsecrated life of so novle a man, laying down the burdens of life inhis ninety-fourth year. The self-sacrificing labors and the toweringgrandeur of his character and the wide-spread and abounding influencewith emanated from his peretuate his memory through many generations,leaving a shining record.
The handful of corn on the tops of the mountains grew til now themembership was three hundred and thirty-five. He served this church allthese years without salary, and built the meeting-house from lumber cutfrom his "cedar swamp," with the assistance of his brethren.
It was without paint, both interior and exterior; with galleries onthree sides, a high pulpit on the north side, with an ascent of tenstairs, enclosed with panel work. When the minister was seated he couldnot be seen by the audience. He stood on a small platform, and was acommanding figure. The writer was present when the last service was heldin this old meeting-house, in the spring of 1845; it was like partingwith one's dearest friend, and many tears were shed. It was suggestedthat they better let it stand, but it was taken down and the presenthouse erected the same year.
The ceiling of the porch of the new house was the panelling takenfrom the pews of the old house.
The following items of interest by way of comparison are gleanedfrom the Stonington Baptist Association, as it was first called in thefirst printed minutes, which embraced churches in Rhode Island as fareast as Exeter and Wickford and west to Waterford and Montville, CT.
Stonington Baptist Association held at Elder Timothy Wightman's Meetinghouse in 1792 Groton.

His Revolutionary record: Mr. Joshua Brown was a Lieutenant in Capt.Thomas Holmes' Company of the 8th Rebt., Col. Oliver Smith Commanding;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, andfrom the north part of the town came here to live, with his family. Therewas only a partially built house on the farm. The east half was used fora dwelling; the west part, not completed, sheltered the cattle in coldweather. This part, later, was finished with two stories in front and aslanting roof on the back. Some time later, the rear was built up tocompare with the front, as seen in the picture. In this house lived theirson Randall (289), who married Sally Palmer, and a few years later hisson Randall, Jr. (3937), who married Mary A. Holmes, went to housekeepinghere. The name Randall has come down from one generation to the next fromElizabeth Randall, born July 4, 1696, the mother of Joshua Brown. Thishouse was removed in 1878, and a house with all modern improvementsadorns this beautiful location. On this farm have lived the directdescendants of Joshua and Joannah (Rogers) Brown for one hundred andtwenty years. The present owners and occupants, in 1906, are Jeremiah(Jerry) H. (3846), Fanny Ella (3849), who married Charles B. Palmer, alsothe widow of Frederick H. (3849), Mrs. Amelia (Shaffer) Brown.
Joshua Brown and his son Randall had slaves on this farm, and theycleared a piece of land and walled it in for a garden that was given theslaves to cultivate. It is seen at the northeast of the house, somedistance away.

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,

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.]

CT births: Born 26 Sept. 1744. Stonington vitals, v3, p69. [Doesn'tjibe with tombstone. See Eleazer II notes for mention of this problem.]
History of Leyden: Peleg Brown was an early settler--"1st settler nearW. Leyden mill site" on the River Road. Earliest he could have come toLeyden would be 1775, the book indicates. He was listed in the 1790census for
Leyden, MA., and the 1800 New York census for Otsego County, NY. The areawhere he bought property in 1797 is now West Winfield, Herkimer County.
DAR cemetery list from Gen. Winfield Scott Chapter in 1928 says Pelegis buried in an old overgrown cemetery in the southern part of the townof Winfield, in a dense grove near the old Lewis Day homestead.
Tombstone information:
Mr. Peleg Brown, d. Jan 26, 1814, ae 71 yrs.
Experience Brown, w. of Mr. Peleg Brown, d. June 16, 1852, ae 95 yrs.
[This indicates Peleg was born about 1742. Brown says he was born 26Sept. 1744, and Wheeler says 26 Sept. 1749. Various vitals say 1744 andchurch baptismal date is 14 Dec. 1744. This indicates the tombstone ageof
death is off a couple of years.
[Peleg has been confused with Peleg Brown of Stonington (not NorthStonington), a native of Rhode Island who married Mercy/Marcy Denison.This Peleg, who died 13 April 1796, was an officer during theRevolutionary War, while my Peleg was a private.]
Also buried in West Winfield is son Eleazer Brown III, who died in1866, and his wife, Martha "Patty" Clark, who died in 1825. Eleazer IIIand Experience were named to administer Peleg's will. In 1810 Pelegapparently had three sons at home: two 16-26 and one 26, according to thecensus that year.

The cemetery property is now owned by the Tennessee Gas Co. It hasbeen cleared of all but one tombstone, Peleg's. His was left at theinsistence of the DAR because he was a Revolutionary War veteran, thetown historian said. Peleg served only a six-month hitch, July 1 to Dec.31, 1780, in the 5th Connecticut Regiment, Capt. Joseph Wright's company.Peleg was a private.
The Continental Army Linages book says the 5th Connecticut was in the2nd Connecticut Brigade when the brigade was relieved Nov. 27, 1780, fromthe Main Army and assigned to the Highlands Department. Perhaps this iswhy Peleg was mustered out early on Dec. 13, 1780.
Record of Services: List of levies in the 5th Regiment, ConnecticutLine, in 1780 says Peleg Brown enlisted 1 July 1780 and was discharged 13Dec. 1780.
Land records say three sons--Benjamin F. Brown (wife Polly), GustavusA. Brown (wife Sophonia), and Jessie* Brown (wife Hannah)--along withwife Experience sold some of Peleg's property after his death. Thisindenture very confusing re Gustavus' name. First mention says GustavusA., second says Augustus A. and the third Gustavus A. again. BrownGenealogy, Vol. II, says his name is Adolphus. Also mentioned in theindenture is Benjamin F. Brown, while B.G. says Franklin. Assume thenames are Gustavus Adolphus Brown and
Benjamin Franklin Brown.

*In other sources all references are to various Jesse Browns.

The Eleazer Brown in Winfield "in 1792" (cited in History of HerkimerCounty, 1879) has to be Peleg's son, Eleazer III. The date must be anerror. Timothy Smith's book, "An Intimate History of Winfield", saysEleazer III came to W.W. about 1800. He would have been about 21 then.Harden's History of Herkimer County says Eleazer was one of the firstsettlers in West Winfield. Both history books and Brown Genealogy, Vol.II, say Eleazer III had a son Hiram, a grandson Hiram C. and agreat-grandson H.C. Brown.
Peleg's half-brother, Elder Eleazer, was 21 years older than Peleg,never moved to New York and died in 1795. Therefore, he could not be the1792 Eleazer. He was minister of the First Baptist Church in Stonington.
His son, Elder Eleazer Brown, also a minister, moved to Brookfield(which is near West Winfiedl and now is in Madison Co.), N.Y., andfathered a distinguished line.
Lineage Book XXVI, National Society, Daughters of the AmericanRevolution, Page 161, says Peleg and Experience were married Dec. 14,1802. Must be an error since their third child was born in 1770 or 1775and first
child was named Experience, making it improbable that Experience wasPeleg's second wife.
Film 1,023,771: Sale of land Dec. 7, 1797, by Thomas R. Clark ofRichfield, Otsego County, N.Y., to Peleg Brown, Richfield, for $1,050.The 107 acres, located in Richfield, was part of the Schuyler Patent andMorgan's Purchase.
Before 1816 the territory now embracing the town of West Winfield wasa part of the towns of Richfield and Plainfield, Otsego County. In 1816county boundary lines were changed and West Winfield wound up in HerkimerCounty. This makes land sale records confusing. A sale executed in OtsegoCounty before the 1816 change often was not recorded until many yearslater--in Otsego County. So a sale of property in Otsego county in 1815would be recorded in 1820 in Otsego County records even though theproperty was then in Herkimer County.

*******
Checking records in Leyden involves several jurisdictions. Leydenoriginally was in Bernardston, but it was set off as the town of Leydenin 1784. At that time it was in Hampshire County, Mass. In 1811, however,Franklin County, was formed from Hampshire County, with Leyden winding upin Franklin County.
History of the Town of Bernardston, Vol. 1, p252 (974.22/Bl, H2h):Elisha Clarke and Peleg Brown appeared on the Bernardston town rate in1781--each one poll., and each living in the area that later becameLeyden.
