Sarah Brown
Another Dane/Brown family researcher, Gretchen Dane Burdick,
makes reference to a letter dated June 8, 1773 from a Nathan Brown in Ipswich
to several men in Yarmouth talking about a disagreement between his two sons
Nathan and James. She says that she has
confirmed the Brown lineage using several sources as James 5, Nathan 4, John 3,
John 2, John 1.
Nathan’s father, John Brown, was born July, 1678 and
died May 6, 1759. He was the son of John
and Hannah Brown. Mother Mary Fellows
was born May 3, 1676 and died May 6, 1759.
She was the daughter of Joseph and Ruth (Fraile)
Fellows. John and
Mary’s deaths on the same day is interesting, but I do not have an
explanation.
Son Abraham Brown married Sarah Boardman January 10.
1780. She is the daughter of Thomas and
Elizabeth Boardman. They had six
children: John, unknown, Priscilla, Judith, Abraham, and Sarah.
Nathan’s brother Daniel married Hannah Russel on November 9, 1738. Ipswich Vitals are quiet regarding any
children. However, a Daniel Brown, Jr.
appears in the marriage records and marries Zerviah
Dane on January 5, 1777. They are both
noted as being from Ipswich. Children
for this couple are:
Unice or Eunice Brown, bp.
September 28, 1777
Alexander Brown, bp. March
19, 1780 and died April 25, 1780.
Israel Dane Brown, bp.
March 11, 1781.
Jacob Brown, bp. March 16,
1783
Alexander Brown, bp. August
27, 1786.
I found many of the details regarding Nathan Brown
and family at: http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/b/r/u/Barbara-J-Bruce/PDFGENE6.pdf
. She has a well organized list of
references and sources at the end of her document. Well done.

Remainder of extended family info garnered from
Ipswich Vitals, “Tan Book”. The “Tan
Book” of Ipswich Vitals lists Nathan’s last name as Browne, with the extra “e”
on the end in earlier records such as his marriage, but drops the “e” later,
such as when listing births of children.
