BROWN FAMILY.
Compiled by Spencer P. Mead, LL.B., with the assistance of Robert B. Miller, Editor of the Lyon Memorial, New York Families, published in 1907.
There has been a general mix-up in the Brown family, so far as the family in the Town of Greenwich and its vicinity is concerned.
Bolton, in his History of Westchester County, New York, and Baird follows him in his History of the Town of Rye, New York, states that Thomas Brown of Concord, Massachusetts, settled in Rye, but an examination of the Descendants of Thomas Brown of Concord, published in 1901, by Goodwin Brown, shows that Thomas Brown of Concord was never in Westchester County, New York, nor were any of his children. The Thomas Brown and the Hackaliah Brown who settled in the Town of Rye, New York, in 1665 were the sons of Peter Brown of the New Haven Colony.
Peter Brown* was one of the Governor Theophilus Eaton
