There is a Hezekiah Brown in the DAR centennial index with a wife named Susannah Edwards. And since he is listed as a Patriot buried in Erie co., this could be him. The known children in that listing are Hezekiah Jr., Lemuel, and Tristram. It says they camed to Erie in 1800. It does say 1790 census Granville, Washington Co, NY.; 1820 census North East Twp. Erie co. Pa.
I'm hoping to go to Erie in Oct, so maybe I can sort out a little more of this. Jo

I found Hezekiah in a Rev. War Brown list as b. 12-27-1748 and m. Susannah Edwards and was a private MA. That is a different birth date by 7 years. Also found statement that Hezekiah is buried on a farm in North East, Erie.

Does this will name his children? I am looking for an Angline Brown who married in North East PA in 1830. She seems to be associated with Tristram or possilby a Judah Brown in the 1830 census.

I am looking for an Angeline Brown who married in North East, PA in 1830. She seems to be a possible daughter of Tristram or Judah Brown in the 1830 census. Hope your trip to Erie payed off.

A book, The History of Erie County Pennsylvania was published in Chicago by Warner, Beers & Co., in 1884. On page 136 there is a biography of Tristram H. Brown which reads: “Tristram H. Brown, farmer, P.O. North East, was born April 19, 1824, on the farm he now resides on, son of Lyman (born in 1800), and Lavina (Shadduck) Brown, natives of Connecticut. His grandfather came to Erie in 1778, and took up land at 50 cents per acre, the same land on which the family now reside, and where he lived and died. Lyman Brown had 12 children, viz., Betsy, Lyman, Sewel, Lavina, Harriet and Henry (twins), Maria, Lydia, Eunice, David, Mary and our subject, who was married, in 1847, to Rebecca, daughter of Joseph Dippo. To this union were born 6 children-Harvey L., married Sept. 25, 1872, to Kate Killhane, have 3 chidlren-Katie, Annie and Hattie; Barnett W., married, in 1878, to Josephine Ennis, have 2 children-Bertie and May E.; Mary E., at home; Horace T., married June 4, 1881, has 1 child-Maude A.; Joseph D., married June 27, 1876, Carrie Geibel, have 3 children-Lillie P., Carrie R. and Rosa T.; and Hattie S., a most estimable young lady, killed by the cars at the crossing in North East Township. Mrs. Brown died in 1879. Mr. Brown’s brother, David served during the rebellion, in Capt. Dyer Loomis’ company.”

A book, The Genealogy and History of the Brown/Browne Family of Granville, New York & Granville, Wisconsin and Other States of Our Union was authored by Cynthia Ingalls Brown. It was published in Waupun, Wisconsin in 1970. This book contains the probable line of Hezekiah Brown of Erie County, Pennsylvania. It appears from this work that Richard Browne who was “born in England about 1614 came to America with his wife and brother, George in the ‘Mary and John’ which sailed from Southampton March 24, 1633/4.” One of his sons was Joshua who was born “April 10, 1642, married Sarah Sawyer. Joshua Brown had a son named Tristram who was “born December 21, 1672, Mary Tilton.” They moved to Norwich, Connecticut in 1715. Tristram and Mary Brown had a son Tristram Brown who was “born March 17, 1702, married Abigail Parke. Tristram and Abigail Brown moved to “Nine Partners, Dutchess County, in the province of New York,”. Tristram and Abigail Brown had a son Hezekiah, “baptized 19 July 1743; married Martha Young, 3 May 1764, in Sharon, Connecticut. Private in Capt. Jacobus Swarthout’s Company of Dutchess County Militia 1760. Moved to Granville, Washington County, New York.” This connects Hezekiah to the Revolutionary War and to Connecticut. The history of Erie County, Pennsylvania connects those Brown families to Connecticut.

Hoping to find information on Elijah Huron BROWN who married Rebecca Marie BRAYTON 28 Jan 1819 in Huron, Erie, PA. Rebecca was the daughter of Gideon and Ruth BRAYTON.
