Biography

Elizabeth Clothier was born about 1735 at Queen Anne, Maryland. She married Morgan Brown on October 27, 1752, in South Carolina.

Elizabeth Brown, the wife of the third Morgan Brown, by her mother was the great-granddaughter of the first Morgan Brown and by her father was descended from a French family who settled in Queen Ann and Cecil counties at a pretty early period. They were three brothers, Lewis, John and Robert Clothier (Drapier, the French name). Robert, who had a middle name, Nap, settled at Kent Narrows. Kent Island at the northernmost part was originally joined to the mainland on the east side by a low, marshy neck of land which in process of time the high tides and hard winds made a passage through, and it is now a deep channel where vessels of burden pass. This place was called Nap's Narrow for a long time, and may yet for all I know. This family were remarkable for ingenuity and a natural knowledge of science and the mechanic arts.^[1]
