    THE BROWN GENEALOGY, by Cyrus Henry Brown, pages 10, 12.
    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.

    Another source says Aug. 15. Brown lists the marriage and death datesand

    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.

    Belonging to ye house of Eleazer Brown for Cattle swine & sheep etc is aCutt
    in ye near side of ye Right Ears and a Crop of the Top of yet Left Ears.

    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.

    Since James Pendleton was in Portsmouth from 1665 to 1670, Annpossibly was
    born there, according to this information, but gravestone, erected many
    years after her death, says she was born six years later in Westerly,Rhode
    Island. Both say she died at age 60.

    Tombstone reads:

    An AF record says she died Nov. 30, 1734. New England Marriages Prior
    to 1700 says she was born in 1667. Back to square one.

    "Early New England Pendletons" says Ann's mother was from Sudbury,Mass.
    Ann could have gone to her parents' home for births. Births of some ofher
    children were recorded in both Sudbury and Portsmouth.

    Major Brian Pendleton left 700 acres of Westerly, Rhode Island, land intrust to his son James, which was to be divided among James' children byhis second wife. Each was to receive one share, except for the oldestson, who would receive two shares. An instrument dated April 11, 1711,named Ann's share, one of seven.
