Beulah Patterson Brown
Beulah Brown, widow, one of the sixty associates in the purchase of the ten townships, came to Brown's Settlement, in February, 1796, with her sons, John, Joseph and Lemuel, and settled on lot 257, where Rodney Ball now lives. She was born at Watertown, Mass., 20 Jan., 1741 or 1742, daughter of Joseph and Lydia (Marean) Patterson, and married about 1764, with her cousin, Abraham Brown, who was born at Watertown, in 1740, youngest child of Dea. Samuel and Mercy (Patterson) Brown, afterward of Stockbridge. He served in the early part of the revolutionary war as a captain of militia, and died 8 Jan., 1777, of small-pox, which was communicated to him by a letter. She was dismissed from the church at Stockbridge, 5 June, 1803, and became one of the constituent members of the first church in Tioga, {now Newark Valley) 17 Nov., 1803, her name being fifth on the list. She was a woman of good mental powers, with a kind heart and benevolent disposition. She died 6 July, 1820, and a trustworthy tradition says that in the last year of her life she had made eighty cheeses and taken care of them with her own hands. Her children were :
