* Henry5 Brown (1740-1812) md. (1) Rachel Clark, and (2) Abigail. The large gap between the birth of Benjamin6 and that of Mary6 and Henry6 suggests yet a third wife. Henry's5 son, Henry6, died in 1859 and his death registration says his parents
were Henry and Elizabeth. Abigail was a late-in-life marriage.
Henry5, received a third of Stephen4 Brown’s estate, being largely south of Stuyvesant Avenue on both sides of the Newark/Elizabeth line -- now the county line. This appears to be partly the 40 acres that John1 Brown held in the second division
of Newark lands.
Children of Henry5 and his wives:
o Benjamin6 Brown (1764-1852) md. Mary Ann (Margaret) Ogden. (1773-1822)
+ Harriet E.7 Brown (1810-1838)
+ Benjamin7 Brown (1815-1815)
o Mary6 Brown (1778-1857) md. Jotham Faitoute (1770-1859).
Marriage Dec. 29, 1799.
The Faitoute family, Huguenot in origin, were earlier in Woodbridge. Henry Brown, Mary’s father, stood as a guardian to Aaron Faitoute, so it is possible his wife was connected to the family.
+ Martha7 Faitoute (1810-1850) md. Andrew Compton
+ Clark7 Faitoute (1816-1881) md. Martha
+ Oliver7 Faitoute, (1813-1813)
+ Jotham7 Faitoute(1819-1819)
+ William7 Faitoute (1816-)
o Henry6 Brown (1779-1859) md. Jane Townley (1782-1861).
Jane is Jane Townley, daughter of John and Phebe. Henry was perhaps the last of the Browns doing extensive farming on the old plantation. He not only held his share of the Stephen’s old lands, but bought lands from his cousins. Brown Street
in Maplewood may be named after him (or else for Israel’s son Nathaniel). Most of his lands were in Union.
+ Jotham7 Brown, (1801-1886) md Hannah B. Smith, and Elizabeth Ball, daughter of David and Abby Ball. I do not know to whom the children belong.
