History of Leyden: Peleg Brown was an early settler--"1st settler nearW. Leyden mill site" on the River Road. Earliest he could have come toLeyden would be 1775, the book indicates. He was listed in the 1790census for
Leyden, MA., and the 1800 New York census for Otsego County, NY. The areawhere he bought property in 1797 is now West Winfield, Herkimer County.
DAR cemetery list from Gen. Winfield Scott Chapter in 1928 says Pelegis buried in an old overgrown cemetery in the southern part of the townof Winfield, in a dense grove near the old Lewis Day homestead.
Tombstone information:
Mr. Peleg Brown, d. Jan 26, 1814, ae 71 yrs.
Experience Brown, w. of Mr. Peleg Brown, d. June 16, 1852, ae 95 yrs.
[This indicates Peleg was born about 1742. Brown says he was born 26Sept. 1744, and Wheeler says 26 Sept. 1749. Various vitals say 1744 andchurch baptismal date is 14 Dec. 1744. This indicates the tombstone ageof
death is off a couple of years.
[Peleg has been confused with Peleg Brown of Stonington (not NorthStonington), a native of Rhode Island who married Mercy/Marcy Denison.This Peleg, who died 13 April 1796, was an officer during theRevolutionary War, while my Peleg was a private.]
Also buried in West Winfield is son Eleazer Brown III, who died in1866, and his wife, Martha "Patty" Clark, who died in 1825. Eleazer IIIand Experience were named to administer Peleg's will. In 1810 Pelegapparently had three sons at home: two 16-26 and one 26, according to thecensus that year.

The cemetery property is now owned by the Tennessee Gas Co. It hasbeen cleared of all but one tombstone, Peleg's. His was left at theinsistence of the DAR because he was a Revolutionary War veteran, thetown historian said. Peleg served only a six-month hitch, July 1 to Dec.31, 1780, in the 5th Connecticut Regiment, Capt. Joseph Wright's company.Peleg was a private.
The Continental Army Linages book says the 5th Connecticut was in the2nd Connecticut Brigade when the brigade was relieved Nov. 27, 1780, fromthe Main Army and assigned to the Highlands Department. Perhaps this iswhy Peleg was mustered out early on Dec. 13, 1780.
Record of Services: List of levies in the 5th Regiment, ConnecticutLine, in 1780 says Peleg Brown enlisted 1 July 1780 and was discharged 13Dec. 1780.
Land records say three sons--Benjamin F. Brown (wife Polly), GustavusA. Brown (wife Sophonia), and Jessie* Brown (wife Hannah)--along withwife Experience sold some of Peleg's property after his death. Thisindenture very confusing re Gustavus' name. First mention says GustavusA., second says Augustus A. and the third Gustavus A. again. BrownGenealogy, Vol. II, says his name is Adolphus. Also mentioned in theindenture is Benjamin F. Brown, while B.G. says Franklin. Assume thenames are Gustavus Adolphus Brown and
Benjamin Franklin Brown.

*In other sources all references are to various Jesse Browns.

The Eleazer Brown in Winfield "in 1792" (cited in History of HerkimerCounty, 1879) has to be Peleg's son, Eleazer III. The date must be anerror. Timothy Smith's book, "An Intimate History of Winfield", saysEleazer III came to W.W. about 1800. He would have been about 21 then.Harden's History of Herkimer County says Eleazer was one of the firstsettlers in West Winfield. Both history books and Brown Genealogy, Vol.II, say Eleazer III had a son Hiram, a grandson Hiram C. and agreat-grandson H.C. Brown.
Peleg's half-brother, Elder Eleazer, was 21 years older than Peleg,never moved to New York and died in 1795. Therefore, he could not be the1792 Eleazer. He was minister of the First Baptist Church in Stonington.
His son, Elder Eleazer Brown, also a minister, moved to Brookfield(which is near West Winfiedl and now is in Madison Co.), N.Y., andfathered a distinguished line.
Lineage Book XXVI, National Society, Daughters of the AmericanRevolution, Page 161, says Peleg and Experience were married Dec. 14,1802. Must be an error since their third child was born in 1770 or 1775and first
child was named Experience, making it improbable that Experience wasPeleg's second wife.
Film 1,023,771: Sale of land Dec. 7, 1797, by Thomas R. Clark ofRichfield, Otsego County, N.Y., to Peleg Brown, Richfield, for $1,050.The 107 acres, located in Richfield, was part of the Schuyler Patent andMorgan's Purchase.
Before 1816 the territory now embracing the town of West Winfield wasa part of the towns of Richfield and Plainfield, Otsego County. In 1816county boundary lines were changed and West Winfield wound up in HerkimerCounty. This makes land sale records confusing. A sale executed in OtsegoCounty before the 1816 change often was not recorded until many yearslater--in Otsego County. So a sale of property in Otsego county in 1815would be recorded in 1820 in Otsego County records even though theproperty was then in Herkimer County.

*******
Checking records in Leyden involves several jurisdictions. Leydenoriginally was in Bernardston, but it was set off as the town of Leydenin 1784. At that time it was in Hampshire County, Mass. In 1811, however,Franklin County, was formed from Hampshire County, with Leyden winding upin Franklin County.
History of the Town of Bernardston, Vol. 1, p252 (974.22/Bl, H2h):Elisha Clarke and Peleg Brown appeared on the Bernardston town rate in1781--each one poll., and each living in the area that later becameLeyden.

Mary Rogness's - Spouse of second cousin 7 times removed

Genealogical and Biographical Record of New London County, Conn., andA History of James Morgan say Experience was born July 22, 1749. Thisdoes not jibe with info on headstone as reported in DUP reading. Based onabove date, she would have been 102 at time of death. The tombstoneinformation is corroborated by info on a bronze plaque placed at the siteof the graveyard. However, the Fairfield man who made her coffin says inhis records she died June 11, 1843. This would place her birth at 1747,much closer to the above. He had the right date for Eleazer III's death.(Film 836,759, Page 266). I'll go with the coffin maker. At least I knowhe was right once. Another source says born 22 July 1756.
DUP record from 1928 says:
Buried on the old West Winfield family farm. (It is now Tennecoproperty.)
Headstone says: Experience Brown, w. of Mr. Peleg Brown, d. June 16,1852, ae 95 yrs.

Third child, John Brown, was born 1770 (B.G.) or 1775 (DAR record).Latter seems most probable, since next two were born in 1776 and 1779.Assuming first child was born 1771 and second in 1773, then marriagewould be about 1770--otherwise would be about five years earlier.

Experience Brown was named in the will of her father, dated 6 Jan.1794, so she had to have been married before then.
She probably was named after her aunt, Experience Morgan, sister ofTimothy.

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 547,548, Item 2: Baptized 14 Aug. 1698.
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.
