The Brown Family
Info:
I have not 100% documented Hannah Brown with her
father Oliver, except that Isaac Bliss was living next door to Oliver in Lake
County OH in 1850. After that, everything is documented in a book about
Stonington, CT Vital Records. There is a wealth of information still in there
and I will try to get more out of it. For now, if you have anything to add to
this, please let me know.
This side of the family starts with Hannah Brown married to Isaac
Bliss

_______________________________________________________
July 1, 1696: James
Brown, son of Eleazer and Ann (Pendleton) Brown, born Stonington,
Connecticut.
He married Elizabeth
Randall, May 5, 1718, by Rev. James Noyes, of Stonington. She was born
July 4, 1696 and died August 25, 1786, age ninety-one years. Internment
in Brown Cemetery. His wife, Elizabeth, was the daughter of John Randall
and Abigail ___, whose family name and birth does not appear on record.
She was the granddaughter of John Randall, the progenitor of the Randall
family of Westerly, Rhode Island and Stonington, Connecticut. His name
first appears at Newport, Rhode Island from which place he came to
Westerly as early as 1667, where the remainder of his life was spent.
The Randall land was about four miles northeast of Stonington Borough,
known as Angwilla and considered the finest land of the town. These
lands join on the north the lands of Thomas Brown, and have been in the
Randall name as late as 1875. These farms now, in 1906, are mostly owned
by Elias Miner and his sons. The Randall families were highly respected
and progressive, ranking high in moral character, and prominent citizens
of the town.
February 2, 1750: James
Brown died at age fifty-five years. [Research of NancyAnn Norman,

Vol. I, Boston, The Everett Press Company 1907, by Cyrus Henry Brown,
page 12, 14.
James Brown (38), son
of Eleazer (11) and Ann (Pendleton) Brown, born Stonington, Conn., July
1, 1696. He died Feb. 2, 1750, age fifty-five years. He married
Elizabeth Randall, May 5, 1718, by Rev. James Noyes, of Stonington. She
was born July 4, 1696 and died Aug. 25, 1786, age ninety-one years.
Internment in Brown Cemetery. His wife, Elizabeth, was the daughter of
John Randall and Abigail ___, whose family name and birth does not
appear on record. She was the granddaughter of John Randall, the
progenitor of the Randall family of Westerly, RI, and Stonington, Conn.
His name first appears at Newport, RI from which place he came to
Westerly as early as 1667, where the remainder of his life was spent.
The Randall land was about four miles northeast of Stonington Borough,
known as Angwilla and considered the finest land of the town. These
lands join on the north the lands of Thomas Brown (2), and have been in
the Randall name as late as 1875. These farms now, in 1906, are mostly
owned by Elias Miner (1164) and his sons. The Randall families were
highly respected and progressive, ranking high in moral character, and
prominent citizens of the town.

THE BROWN GENEALOGY,
Vol. 2, by Cyrus Henry Brown, pp. 241.
It must be remembered
that when James Brown was born the country was in a primitive state,
almost a vast wilderness. His father, Eleazer, with his axe, had begun
to let in the sunshine in a few places, and to stir the virgin soil and
scatter a little seed, making an opening for future settlers. James
Brown built his house on lands first set off to his father, Eleazer
(11), on the most beautiful situation of any of the lands purchased by
the three Brown brothers. This house built by James Brown was located
opposite what is now the Union Cemetery. The compiler remembers the old,
old house from 1840 to 1845, which soon after was torn down. It was a
one-story house, fronting south, with east end fronting the country
road. The house and barn were built of native lumber, sawed at the mill
erected by his father, and assisted by the older son, Jonathan and
James, the subject of this sketch. The barn fell down before the house
was pulled down.
The house contained but
four rooms on the first floor; there might have been an attic. The
compiler was in and out of these during five years of his boyhood. The
house stood on a gradual sloping plateau, affording a most picturesque
view for miles around. The land is rich and fertile. The father of the
compiler hired the land for a number of years, and on the same the
compiler worked for five years. After the house was removed, the well
covered, and grounds cleared and leveled off, there was not a thing to
show the spot where these illustrious children were born.
