Time Line:

1716 - James Born in England

JAMES Brown the founder of our family in America was born in England, November 2, 1716. Our knowledge of his progenitors comes from Gustave Anjou the Secretary of the British Record Society. The name is found as early as the eleventh century. It is carried down to the emigration period. From the middle of the fifteenth century the line is clearly shown and fully proved. A blazon of the armorial bearings is given from official sources. - Descendants of James Brown

1745- Married Sarah Allison

On the 25th day of July 1745, James Brown married Miss Sarah Allison. He was 29 years of age, she 24. The children of James and Sarah Allison Brown were: John, born June 25, 1746, died September 24, 1819. James, born May 5, 1750. Martha, born November 15, 1753 died April 23, 1831. Sarah, born April 10, 1757. Daniel, born May 3, 1762. Charity, born April 15, 1765. 

Two hundred years ago educational advantages were meagre. The penmanship in his Bible indicates that James Brown's education was not neglected. The greater part of his life was spent in the land of his adoption. This was in the pre-revolutionary period. His closing days witnessed the triumph of the Colonies and the establishment of American independence. -  - Descendants of James Brown

1752 - Arrived In Long Island, NY

 When James Brown came to America he settled on Long Island. In his Bible he wrote this fact," England is my nation, Long Island is my home". This Bible is still in the possession of the family of the late John L. Brown, of Delaware, New Jersey. The inscription was written in 1752, when he was thirty-six years of age. - Descendants of James Brown

Subsequently he purchased from Joseph Pancoast three hundred acres of land in northern New Jersey. It was lo cated in what is now Warren County in the valley of the Tockhockonetcong river. This stream is now called the Paulins Kill. The land is between the Delaware River and near the village of Hainesburg. At a later period he pur- chased three hundred acres more, adjoining the original tract. Traveling along the main road leading from Columbia to Hainesburg a point is reached where the road passes through a concrete subway under the crossing of the Dela- ware Lackawanna Railroad. To the right of this a few rods, near the banks of the stream, is a two story stone house. This is the place where James Brown built his New Jersey home. Two railroads pass through these lands. The well known "cut off" of the Delaware Lackawanna and Western, and the New York, Susquehanna and Western. A few miles in the distance towards the west, and distinctly visible is the celebrated Delaware Water Gap.  - Descendants of James Brown

1775 - Wrote Will

1784 - Sarah Died

His wife Sarah, died August 9, 1784. -  - Descendants of James Brown

1793 - James Died

The date of his death is unknown. On October 16, 1793 his will was recorded. It is printed in full in the latter pages of this book. It was written April 8, 1775. His wife Sarah, died August 9, 1784. -  - Descendants of James Brown

Burial

 The bodies of James and Sarah Brown, rest on the brow of the hill in the cemetery at Hainesburg, New Jersey. Adjoining these graves is that of the wife of their son John, Mary Brugler Brown, who died October 3, 1793. The graves of James and Sarah Allison Brown were marked by native slate tombstones. These were disintegrated by the frosts of scores of years. Now there is nothing remaining to mark their location. - Descendants of James Brown
