    Notes:
    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.
