    His Revolutionary record: Mr. Joshua Brown was a Lieutenant in Capt.Thomas Holmes' Company of the 8th Rebt., Col. Oliver Smith Commanding;Brigadier Gen. Saltinstall's Brigade. He enlisted Sept. 8, 1776;discharged Nov. 17, 1776; in the campaign around New York.
    Joshua Brown (77) bought his farm of Robert Williams in 1786, andfrom the north part of the town came here to live, with his family. Therewas only a partially built house on the farm. The east half was used fora dwelling; the west part, not completed, sheltered the cattle in coldweather. This part, later, was finished with two stories in front and aslanting roof on the back. Some time later, the rear was built up tocompare with the front, as seen in the picture. In this house lived theirson Randall (289), who married Sally Palmer, and a few years later hisson Randall, Jr. (3937), who married Mary A. Holmes, went to housekeepinghere. The name Randall has come down from one generation to the next fromElizabeth Randall, born July 4, 1696, the mother of Joshua Brown. Thishouse was removed in 1878, and a house with all modern improvementsadorns this beautiful location. On this farm have lived the directdescendants of Joshua and Joannah (Rogers) Brown for one hundred andtwenty years. The present owners and occupants, in 1906, are Jeremiah(Jerry) H. (3846), Fanny Ella (3849), who married Charles B. Palmer, alsothe widow of Frederick H. (3849), Mrs. Amelia (Shaffer) Brown.
    Joshua Brown and his son Randall had slaves on this farm, and theycleared a piece of land and walled it in for a garden that was given theslaves to cultivate. It is seen at the northeast of the house, somedistance away.

    THE BROWN GENEALOGY, Vol. II, 1915, by Cyrus Henry Brown, page 242.
