She is NOT the daughter of Joshua Holmes, Jr. and Fear Sturgis. That Temperance Holmes' marriages were John Smith in 10 May 1727, and JamesTreadway in 10 Dec 1761.

Sources: Brown Genealogy.

Barbour in his Stonington vitals, v2, p68 (film 2,923), has a Temperance
Holmes born 17 Jan. 1727/1728. This would be the daughter of John Holmes,son
of Joshua Jr. and Fear Sturgis.
Don't know how Eleazer's wife ties in with the Holmes family. But
Brown Genealogy could be wrong. Maybe Eleazer was married to Mary all
the time and did not have a first marriage--although he did have adaughter
named Temperance Brown.

Elder Eleazer Brown(139), son of Eleazer (39) [Eleazer (11),Thomas], was born in Stonington, Conn., June 1, 1728 and died July 11,1795 (tombstone), sisty-eight year of his age and twenty-seventh of hisministry. He married Oct. 16, 1755, Ann Green, of Hopkinton, RI, who wasborn 1735 and died Sept. 15, 1803, sisty-ninth year of her age.

THE BROWN GENEALOGY, by Cyrus Herny Brown, Vol. 2, page 267.
Elder Brown was the second pastor of the First Baptist Church, ofStonington (Pendleton Hill). This was his only pastorate, extending overa period of twenty-seven years. Elder Brown, it is said, had be littleeducation, but was a man of strong native powers, of vivid thought andconception, and of flowing, rapid delivery. He was rightly esteemed oneof the most eminet preachers of his day. In 1791, towards the close ofhis ministry, there came a great outpouring of the Spirit of God; and theseed faithfully sown began to bear much fruit, and at this revival thechurch received an accession of fifty-two, making the total membershipone hundred and fifty-two. (For a full account, see B.G., pp. 551, 552.
Elder Eleazer Brown's house stood a few rods east of the BrownBurying-ground, opposite the present parsonage of the Second Church, inNo. Stonington, where the cellar is still to be seen. This house wasstruck by lightning while Elder Brown was preaching in the near-bychurch. Two young people were killed by lightning, one up stairs and theother down, while shutting windows. The compiler's mother said they wereengaged to be married. Another mother reported that they were John andHulda, but it is not certain about their names.

It is not exactly known when Eleazer Brown removed to the State ofNew York, but in New York land papers of recordes of petitions for andgrants of land are found many familier names around Brookfield, Edmestonand Columbus. Eleaxer Brown had a certificate of purchase of 250 acresDec. 1, 1790, for lot 84, township 19. Also Simeon Brown, Jr., lot 81,250 acres. He settled at Brookfield. Jabish Brown had a certificate ofpurchase in 1791, in Chenango Township, of 500 acres. These three earlysettlers were nexr relatives, going from their hometown, Stonington, atdifferent times.* Thus it would appear that Eleaxer Brown settled atBrookfield.
*Om "Otsego County HIstory of New York" is found the following records:"In 1795 Eleazer Brown settled in Brookfield, NY. The family consisted ofwife and seven children."

Prentice Brown followed a blazed trail from Stonington, Conn.through New York State into Otsego County. He was a blacksmith.
page 269. Note -- While it is said that Prentice Brown was born atStonington, I am inclined to believe that it was his father, Eleazer, whoblazed the trail into New York State when it was comparatively one vastwilderness, in the last half of 1700. Eleazer, with Simeon Brown, Jr., ismentioned as a pioneer to New York State in this same connection in 1791.Therefore I believe that Prentice Brown was born in Madison Co., NY.Stonington, Conn., at this time, one hundred years after the three Brownbrothers made their settlement in this wilderness, had become verythickly settled, and every acre of available land was unter cultivation,and the same spirit of adverture crowded these sons of Elder EleazerBrown from their home town, Stonington, to seek new and cheaper land andmore productive in the west -- "out west, " it was then called.
It was with much difficulty and long research that the compilerlocated these brothers, -- Eleazer, Benjamin, and Luther, -- for norecords are left of where such adventurers fled to.
