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.

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.
Stonington vitals, film 1,309,871, Item 2 (original records): "Themarks
Belonging to ye house of Eleazer Brown for Cattle swine & sheep etc is aCutt

Entered April ye 20th 1704."

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.

A tradition among her descendants says that she was sixty years oldwhen she died.
Eleazer Brown and his wife made their home in Westerly and later inStonington, in the part of that township which was afterward set off toform North Stonington. In the division of their father's property, Annreceived his house as appears in the agreement of the heirs: pg. 46.
After the deaths of Ann and her husband, her surviving childrendeeded to Edmund and Joseph Pendleton of Westerly, for ten pounds alltheir rights in the estate of "our grandfather, James Pendleton late ofWesterly, and of 'Briant' Pendleton". This deed was signed 30 Jul 1734,by Jonathan Brown, "Elezer" Brown, Thomas Main and Ann, his wife,Patience Brown, James Pendleton and Abigail his wife, and Wait Palmer andMary, his wife (Rockingham Co., NH Deeds, xx, 227.)

G. and B. Record of New London: Ann Pendleton, born 12 Nov. 1673.
History of Stonington: Ann Pendleton, born 12 Nov. 1673.

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:
Ann / Wife of / Eleazer Brown / & Daughter of / Capt. James Pendleton /Born in Westerly RI / 1673 Died aged / 60 years

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.

Colonial Wars: Ann Pendleton, born 12 Nov. 1673, died before 1732.Married Eleazer Brown 18 Oct. 1693.

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. Typically, it is listed in her husband'sname. "...Elizer brown hath ye third lott & ye house that was Capt.Pendletons stands on itt ye bounds thereof is in ye surveigh & ye s'dElezer brown had s'd lott by a Joynt agreement of the heirs of Capt.James Pendleton & payed sertaine sumes of money therefore unto NicholasCottrill William walker as was inserted in Capt. James Pendletons will &for a confirmation of s'd lott with all ye housing orchards fencingspausters woods timber & all other priveleges & apurtenances whatsoeverbelonging to s'd lott or hereafter shall belong thereunto" (are, ineffect, assigned by the above Cottrill and Walker, as well as by Edmundand Caleb Pendleton) "to ye s'd Elezer brown his heirs Executsadministrators &
assigns to have & to hold in severallity forever to use poses and injoyas his owne proper Estate forever..." From Brown Genealogy, Vol. II.
No wonder Ann and Eleazer lived in Westerly as well as Stonington.

Four generations later, Caroline M. Wood Brown, wife of German S.Brown, bought Broome County property in her own name from German'sbrother. The lot of the wife had improved, if not the size of the lott.

RIGR: Called Ann Brown in her father's will.
