• Notes

  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.
