    BRIAN PENDLETON AND HIS DESCENDANTS, 1599-1910, Compiled by Everett HallPendleton, Privatley Printed MCMX, found in the DAR Library, Washington,DC. Page 69.
    31. Elizabeth-4 Pendleton (Caleb-3), was baptized 25 Jun, 1699(First Ch. Stonington, Conn.) She married Jonathan Brown. In thesettlement of Caleb-3 Pendleton's estate, Jonathan Brown gave theexecutor, Benoni Smith, a receipt for his wife, Elizabeth Brown, who wasnamed in Caleb's will as "my daughter, Elizabeth Brown" (Westerly C & Prec., iii, 330). This Jonathan Brown was undoubtedly Elizabeth's firstcousin, Jonathan-4, born 12 July 1694, son of Eleazer (11) and Ann-3)Pendleton) Brown, as is indicated by the names of their children and bythe fact that they lived upon the land inherited by Ann-3 from herfather, James-2 Pendleton.
    No list of the children of Janathan and Elizabeth -4 (Pendleton)Brown appears upon the vital records of Westerly, but the land andprobate records of the town give us four of their names as follows:
    On the 14th of June 1756, Jonathan Brown and Elizabeth, his wife,conveyed to William "Brumley" [Bromley] land in Westerly (W.L.E., ix,218). The index to this record reads, "William Brumbley from his fatherBrown." William Bromley had married Elizabeth Brown, 9 November 1743. Theland records show further that Jonathan Brown and his wife, Elizabeth,made deeds of gift to their sons, Eleazer and Ebenezer, on the 23th June,1714, and the 3rd January, 1764, respectively (Ibid., v.324 and x,7).They also deeded five acres to their son, "Bryan" adjoining WilliamBromley's land, 3rd January, 1764 (Ibid., x, 5), and sold land to WilliamWilliam Vincent, 14th June 1756 (Ibid., x, 218). On the same day "Bryan"Brown and Mehitalde, his wife, deeded land to William Vincent.
    On the 27th March, 1769, "Mrs. Elizabeth Brown, wife of JonathanBrown, represented that her husband had sold his farm and is about tomove into some distant land and one third the money said land sold forwas paid to Benjamin Wilbur by her Request for her support, and she nothaving security for same requests that town council that they wouldreceive the money from Wilbur for her use and support in her old age." (C& P. Rec., iv, 123).
    Now on the 25th December 1769, it was voted by the Town Council topay the Town Treasurer 1 pound 9 1/4d. for "Briant" Brown's taxes out ofthe money received from Benjamin Wilbur and belonging to Mrs. ElizabethBrown (Ibid., iv, 136). Furthermore, on the 15th July, 1762, EbenezerBrown declared "that in the year 1756 he heard his brother Eleazer saythat if he never came back he gave his son Jesse Brown to his brotherBryant Brown to do by as his own son & further saith that his saidbrother died soon after." Elizabeth Brown also declared she her her sonEleazer make this statement a little before his death (C & P Rec., iv,13).
    Besides these four children Jonathan and Elizabeth were undoubtedlythe parents of that Jonathan Brown, entry of whose marriage upon therecords of the Second Church of Stonington (now North Stonington) refersto him as "of Westerly". The contemporaneous Jonathan Brown, Jr., ofStonington, son of Jonathan and Hannah (Richardson) Brown, was only tenyears old at this time."
    An item on page 28 of Book III, Westerly "Town Meetings," alsoindicated that another child should be included in this family, as itstates that "Jonathan Hankes and Hannah Brown, daughter to Jonathan Brownof Westerly," were married in 1752.

    BROWN GENEALOGY, Vol II, Boston, The Everett Press Co., 1915, by CyrusHenry Brown, page 217.
    They lived upon land inherited by Ann Pendleton from her father,James. No list of children of Jonathan and Elizabeth (Pendleton) Brownappears upon the vital records of Westerly, but the land and probaterecords of the town give us four of their names. From the foregoingrecords we may set down the issue of Jonathan and Elizabeth Brown inabout the following order.
