Eleazer was born 4 Aughst 1670, in Lynn, Essex, Massachusetts and married 18 October 1693 in Stonington, New London, Connecticut, Ann PENDLETON, the daughter of Eleazer BROWN and Anna PENDLETON, She was born 12 November 1667 in Portsmith, Rockingham, New Hampshire and died 727, in Stonington, New London, Connectcut. Eleazer died 30 December 1734, in Stonington, New London, Connectiucut (now North Stonington).
Ann PENDLETON3 (James2, Brian1) was born 12 Nov 1667 in Portsmouth, Rockingham Co., New Hampshire. She died 1727 in Stonington, New London Co., Connecticut, aged 60 years and was buried in Brown Cemetery, No. Stonington, New London Co., Connecticut.
A tradition among her descendants says that she was sixty years old when she died.
Eleazer Brown and his wife made their home in Westerly and later in Stonington, in the part of that township which was afterward set off to form North Stonington. In the division of their father's property, Ann received his house as appears in the agreement of the heirs: pg. 46.
After the deaths of Ann and her husband, her surviving children deeded to Edmund and Joseph Pendleton of Westerly, for ten pounds all their rights in the estate of "our grandfather, James Pendleton late of Westerly, and of 'Briant' Pendleton". This deed was signed 30 Jul 1734, by Jonathan Brown, "Elezer" Brown, Thomas Main and Ann, his wife, Patience Brown, James Pendleton and Abigail his wife, and Wait Palmer and Mary, his wife (Rockingham Co., NH Deeds, xx, 227.)

History of Stonington: Ann Pendleton, born 12 Nov. 1673.
Since James Pendleton was in Portsmouth from 1665 to 1670, Ann possibly was born there, according to this information, but gravestone, erected many years after her death, says she was born six years later in Westerly, Rhode Island. Both say she died at age 60.
Tombstone reads:
Ann
Wife of
Eleazer Brown
& Daughter of
Capt. James Pendleton
Born in Westerly RI
1673 Died aged
60 years
An AF record says she died Nov. 30, 1734. New England Marriages Prior to 1700 says she was born in 1667. Back to square one.
"Early New England Pendletons" says Ann's mother was from Sudbury, Mass. Ann could have gone to her parents' home for births. Births of some of her children were recorded in both Sudbury and Portsmouth.
Colonial Wars: Ann Pendleton, born 12 Nov. 1673, died before 1732. Married Eleazer Brown 18 Oct. 1693.
Major Brian Pendleton left 700 acres of Westerly, Rhode Island, land in trust to his son James, which was to be divided among James' children by his second wife. Each was to receive one share, except for the oldest son, who would receive two shares. An instrument dated April 11, 1711, named Ann's share, one of seven. Typically, it is listed in her husband's name. "...Elizer brown hath ye third lott & ye house that was Capt. Pendletons stands on itt ye bounds thereof is in ye surveigh & ye s'd Elezer brown had s'd lott by a Joynt agreement of the heirs of Capt. James Pendleton & payed sertaine sumes of money therefore unto Nicholas Cottrill, William walker as was inserted in Capt. James Pendletons will & for a confirmation of s'd lott with all ye housing orchards fencings pausters woods timber & all other priveleges & apurtenances whatsoever belonging to s'd lott or hereafter shall belong thereunto" (are, in effect, assigned by the above Cottrill and Walker, as well as by Edmund and Caleb Pendleton) "to ye s'd Elezer brown his heirs Executs administrators & assigns to have & to hold in severallity forever to use poses and injoy as his owne proper Estate forever..." From Brown Genealogy, Vol. II.
No wonder Ann and Eleazer lived in Westerly as well as Stonington.
Four generations later, Caroline M. Wood Brown, wife of German S. Brown, bought Broome County property in her own name from German's brother. The lot of the wife had improved, if not the size of the lott.
RIGR: Called Ann Brown in her father's will.

Ann married Eleazer BROWN, son of Thomas BROWN and Mary NEWHALL, on 18 Oct 1693 in Stonington, New London Co., Connecticut. Eleazer was born 5 Aug 1670 in Lynn, Essex Co., Massachusetts. He died 30 Nov 1734 in Stonington, New London Co., Connecticut and was buried in Brown Cemetery, No. Stonington, New London Co., Connecticut.
Four of the children of Thomas Browne remained in MA, while three of them came to Stonington, CT, before 1688. They purchased and received large tracts of land most of which was located in the present town of North Stonington, bounded as follows: the western boundary was nearly all on Ossekonk Swamp, the northern bounds of which extended from the Ossekonk brook on the west on Shunnock River on the east, joining on the north the lands of the late Stephen Avery and lands of the Maine family, to the lands of the Randall family; eaterly on the Randall land to the Richardson's possessions; on the south by the Palmer family land and Miner territory; and on the west by the Wheeler family land up to the said Ossekonk Swamp.
Eleazer Brown, b. Lynn MA, Aug 5, 1670; d. Stonington CT, now North Stonington, Nov 30, 1734. m. Ann Pendleton, Oct. 18, 1693.
His house stood in the eastern part of the lands purchased by the Brown brothers, about twenty-five rods south of the Brown Cemetery, and north of the Miner Meeting-house. Headstones were erected to their graves by the late Daniel Brown (386). Probably these were the first interments in these grounds. He was a farmer and stock-raiser.

[Almost all info in film 1,309,871 pertaining to Eleazer Sr. and his children comes from page 2.]
Wheeler & IGI say Eleazer I was born Aug. 4, 1670. Wheeler in another place says Aug. 5. Brown Genealogy, Vols. I and II, says Aug. 4.
Another source says Aug. 15. Brown lists the marriage and death dates and place of birth.
Wheeler confirms the Aug. 4 death date. Bible records copied
from older records (Found on Film 862,766, Vol. 10, Page 9), confirm the
marriage and death dates. Am. Marriage Records confirm marriage date.
Gravestone, apparently erected well after his death, reads:
Eleazer and his older brothers, Thomas and John, sold their posssessions in Reading, Massachusetts, and came to Connecticut "at maturity" sometime after 1677. They purchased adjacent farms near Browne's Mountain in what is now North Stonington. Their cattle marks were recorded in May 1688. Eleazer was listed in B.G. as "engaged in farming and stock-raising." He resided in Westerly, Rhode Island, as well as Stonington. His wife inherited property in Westerly, although it was deeded in his name.
Stonington vitals, film 1,309,871, Item 2 (original records): "The marks
Belonging to ye house of Eleazer Brown for Cattle swine & sheep etc is a Cutt in ye near side of ye Right Ears and a Crop of the Top of yet Left Ears.
Entered April ye 20th 1704."
Thomas and John were mentioned in their father's will, along with Joseph, Daniel, daughter Norwood and Ebenezer (executor) but not Eleazer or other
siblings.
The area where Eleazer and his brothers lived was called Stonington before 1807. In 1807, that inland area became known as North Stonington, hence the burial site is today in North Stonington. Stonington is a seaport area.
Stonington vitals, film 2,897: Eleazer Brown died November 1734. Stonington v2, p2. Film 1,309,871, Item 2: Eleazer Brown and Ann Pendleton married 18 Oct. 1693. Also has children and earmarks.
