  • NOTE: the Following Is a Reprint of the Brown Genealogy of 1851, Upon Which the Chad Brown Memorial Is Based, and to Which Reference Has Been Made in the Preface
    GENEALOGY. (NOTE: The following is a reprint of the Brown genealogy of 1851, upon which the Chad Brown Memorial is based, and to which reference has been made in the preface. It furnishes an interesting example of the earlier genealogical work, and, though familiar to some of the older members of the family, is unknown outside of a very limited circle. A few trifling errors have been corrected, but with this exception the pamphlet is printed as originally written. The researches of the past few years have brought to light many forgotten facts, and supplied information which was inaccessible to the preceding generation. This will account for apparent discrepancies between the Brown genealogy and the Chad Brown Memorial. ) (all dates mentioned here previous to 1752 are in Old Style, to which 11 days should be added in order to agree with the New Style. ) The name of Brown, so numerous everywhere, was duly represented among the first settlers of Providence. Out of one hundred and one original proprietors, there were four of the name, Chad, John, Daniel and Henry Brown. Of these, we have of John and Daniel no account; they may, perhaps, have been related to Chad, their names being the same as those of two of his sons, but it is certain that Henry Brown was of a different family. He was the ancestor of the Browns who formerly lived on Providence Neck, so-called, including Richard Brown, who died in 1812, aged 100 years and 12 days, and others. The spelling of the name, it may be remarked, has like many others been varied.
