• Notes

  THE BROWN GENEALOGY, Vol. I, Boston, The Everett Press Company 1907, byCyrus Henry Brown, page 129. Elder Brown, as he was afterwards called, moved with his family, inMay, 1792, to the wilderness of New York. The year previous he went onhorseback to Albany, NY, and procured a deed of land in the town ofBrookfield. During the summer he made a clearing and built a log house,and in the autumn returned to his family in Stonington. The followingMay, with his wife and children in an ox-cart and he on horseback, theybegan their logn and perilous journey to Brookfield. The early training of these children was in their New England homein Stonington -- not only from father and mother, but also fromgrandfather and grandmother, for this indefatigable man of God had notonly gathered a church, but guilt a house of worship, largely by hiscourage and energy and with his own hands. Here these grandchildrenlistened to the gospel as it fell from his anointed lips. This fact mustnot be forgotten, for Ruth, the oldens, was twenty-four years old, andPhebe, the youngest, was five years old, when they emigrated toBrookfield. Thus in their childhood days began the development ofChristian life and character which continued, with increasing activities,in their new pioneer home and its characteristic of their descendants tothe present time.
