Biography

Mary Brown was born May 26, 1683 in Lynn, Essex, Massachusetts. She was the third child of Thomas Brown and Hannah Collins.

Excerpt from BROWN GENEALOGY, Vol II, by Cyrus Henry Brown (1915); pp. 25 & 26: Mary Brown (19) dau. of Thomas (2) and Hannah Collins, son of Thomas (1) and Mary Newhall; she was the third child that was born in Stonington, Conn., May 26, 1683, at the "Pond Place" before described, the early home of this family in primeval days, her father being the first to stir the soil in this then wilderness of Stonington, now No. Stonington, and awake the echoes with his axe in this primitive forest. This takes us back to the beginnings of this oldest family of the Browns in Stonington.

Mary Brown married Thomas York on January 9, 1704, at Stonington. They had the following children, all born at Stonington:

  1. William York (1705-)
  2. Mary (York) Hewitt (1710-1786)
  3. Thankful (York) Wilcox (abt.1712-1789)
  4. Thomas York Jr. (1714-)
  5. John York Sr (1716-1784)
  6. Joseph York (1718-1803)
  7. Deborah (York) Palmer (abt.1720-1810)
  8. Collins York (abt.1722-1788)
  9. Bell York Sr (abt.1725-1798)

Mary (Brown) York passed away about 1725, likely in Stonington.

I adopted this orphaned profile since she is my 7th great grandmother. If you have additional information regarding her, I would be very interested in it.
