Wheeler & IGI say Eleazer I was born Aug. 4, 1670. Wheeler in anotherplace
says Aug. 5. Brown Genealogy, Vols. I and II, says Aug. 4.
Another source says Aug. 15. Brown lists the marriage and death datesand
place of birth. Wheeler confirms the Aug. 4 death date. Bible recordscopied
from older records (Found on Film 862,766, Vol. 10, Page 9), confirm the
marriage and death dates. Am. Marriage Records confirm marriage date.

Gravestone, apparently erected well after his death, reads:

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

Belonging to ye house of Eleazer Brown for Cattle swine & sheep etc is aCutt
