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.]

Barbour: Eleazer Brown, son of Eleazer, born 4 May 1698 (Stoningtonvitals, v2, p2).
Vitals, Brown Genealogy and Wheeler's History of Stonington agree onEleazer Junior's birth date and place.
Wheeler: Married Temperance Holmes in 1723.
Film 1,309,871, Item 2, page 69: Names birth dates of children andsays earmarks were entered 26 April 1738. No marriage recorded.
Film 2826: Gives baptismal date. Stonington First Church. Admitted tochurch in what is now North Stonington on May 7, 1727.

Film 5,080, Item 1: Records from 1727 to 1827. This church opened in1727. Lists baptisms for six of Eleazer's children: Eleazer, Jeremiah,Mary, Rebecca, Temperance, and Peleg. In each case his wife was calledMary.
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.

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.
