• Notes

  Donald Jacobus Lines treated this family as distinct and different from the New Haven Francis Brown family in his Old Families of Fairfield. PLEASE READ this explanation. Francis Brown of Stamford and his wife Mrs. Martha Chapman, widow firt of Thomas Lawrence of Milford and 2) widow of John Chapman of Stamford had four children: Joseph, Rebecca, Sarah and Mercy. By his first wife, name unknown, he had daughter Mary. Francis married 3). Judith Budd Ogden and removed with her to Rye, New York. See Donald Lines Jacobus, History and Genealogy of the Families of Old Fairfield, v. 1, 105-106. In Robert Charles Anderson, "Great Migration Begins," v. 1, A-F, page 333 there is a sketch about John Chapman, Martha's 2nd husband just prior to her 3rd husband Francis Brown. This source stated: "The inventory of the estate of 'John Chapman deceased,' attested on 30 October 1665 by the wife of Francis Browne, totaled £403 11s. 8d., of which £200 was real estate [Fairfield PR 2:9]. The intestate proceedings distributed the estate to the widow, £110 10s. 8d.; to [dau] Mary Chapman, £86; to Eliizabeth Chapman £86; to the widow 'to have half the housing and land at Stanford' and the said Mary and Elizabeth 'to have the other half of the farm divided between them equally' [Fairfield PR 2:9]." In 1672 Mary's husband Eleazer Slason of Stamford acknowledged receipt of Mary's portion. In 1673/4 they sold with Elisabeth Chapman to "their father-in-law Francis Brown," three parcels of land. Other transactions between these parties continued.
