The Brown Family. The following interesting and valuable family history was written, under the above title, by Dr. Morgan Brown, in his family Bible, now in the possession of the widow of his grandson, William L. Brown, from which it was transcribed by the courtesy of her son, the late Dr. William L. Brown. 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 northermost 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.
Morgan Brown, the third, and Elizabeth, his wife, had nine children, whom they saw grown up and married, except one, and also two or three who died young, viz.:
1. Rebecca Brown, born September 4, 1755, Wednesday. 2. Morgan Brown, 4th, born January 13, 1758, Friday. 3. Elizabeth died young. 4. Rachel Brown, born November 27, 1761, Friday. 5. Joseph Brown, born November 5, 1763, Saturday. 6. Edward Brown, born February 24, 1767, Tuesday; died early. 7. James Clothier Brown, born January 17, 1769, Wesnesday. 8. John Hamor Brown, born February II, 1772, Tuesday. 9. Jane Brown died an infant. 10. Dardan Brown, born March 25, 1775, Saturday. http://genealogytrails.com/mary/queenannes/brown_family.html
