Brown Gen., v. 2, sez m., Stonington Oct. 1692, Elizabeth Miner, b. Apr. 1674;

dau. of Ephraim and Hannah (Avery) Miner & granddaughter of Lt. Thomas and Grace

(Palmer) Miner. John Brown was a carpenter and built his house on the western

portion of the lands purchased by the three Brown brothers.

This apparently is now (1990) a small part of the enlarged house of

Jack and Sally (Pendleton) Sylvia on Rocky Hollow Road in North Stonington

that was visited by Louis B. Bate. Mrs. Sylvia's grandfather, Sheriff George

Pendleton, used to lock his prisoners in the farm's ice house when he owned the

property.

John Brown built many houses in Stonington.

Brown Genealogy says:

The three brothers, Thomas, John and Eleazer I, sold their possessions in

Reading (previously Lynn), Mass., and settled in Stonington, Conn. All came to

Connecticut "at maturity" sometime after 1677. Their cattle marks were recorded

in Stonington in May 1688. They purchased adjoining farms near Browne's

Mountain. Stonington was later divided, and the Brown brothers lived in what is

now North Stonington.
