Biography

Martha Brown was born about 1736 in Monmouth, New Jersey. She is a daughter of Zebulon and Martha Brown.

Martha married 1st Jonathan Tuley on June 22, 1758 in Monmouth, New Jersey.^[1] Their known children (actual order of birth not known yet):

• Joseph- bp. 23 Apr 1764^[2]
• Jonathan- bp. 23 Apr 1764^[3] (He was mentioned in his step-father Joseph Archer's will.)
• Thomas- bp. 23 Apr 1764^[4]
• Mary- bp. 23 Apr 1764^[5]
• Abraham- (He was mentioned in his step-father Joseph Archer's will, but not his own father's will. So it seems he would have been born after his father's will was written on February 12, 1765.)

Jonathan died in 1765. Martha and Joseph Archer, both of the County of Burlington, lawfully married at the Saint Marys Church (formerly Saint Anns Church) in Burlington, Burlington, New Jersey on October 3, 1769.^[6][7] Joseph died in about 1783, when his will was proved.

Martha lived in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1800.^[8][9]

She died on December 15, 1814 in Philadelphia, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.^[10][11]

Research Notes

• She is definitely a daughter of Zebulon and Martha Brown. She and her first husband were mentioned in her mother's will.
• Jonathan Tuley's will does not mention Abraham Tuley who was mentioned in Joseph Archers will.
