Baxley My father, William Brown, was a planter in Albemarle County, Virginia, where I was born on the 5th day of April, 1757. Flattering inducements being held forth to settlers in the rich region of South Carolina contiguous to the Savannah River; and my uncle, Bartlett Brown, having already moved, and settled himself two miles above Matthew’s Bluff, on the Savannah River;2 my father bought some negroes, and left them with his brother to make a crop; and in 1769, a year afterwards, my father and family, consisting of eleven persons, emigrated to this country and settled on Brier’s Creek, opposite to Burton’s Ferry.3 We found the country in the vicinity very thinly inhabited. Our own shelter for several weeks to protect us from the weather was a bark tent, which served for our use until we could erect a rude dwelling of logs. 1 The Revolutionary War pension affidavit of Tarlton Brown (1757-1845), Oct. 1832 and his SC Audited Accounts are found in file S21665 fn45SC transcribed by Will Graves. http://revwarapps.org/s21665.pdf Brown’s first name is spelled variously, but it appears spelled as “Tarlton’ in his signature on his first pension affidavit which is adopted for this article and is seen above.
