  Notes	It has been a family tradition that Eunice was born in New Bedford, but land records show the family was still in Dartmouth at the time of her birth. No birth records have not been found for the children of Lydia and Isaac Annable in Dartmouth. However, Lydia and Isaac were married and lived in Dartmouth until December of 1780 according to land records, when they moved to New Bedford, MA. Census records show an Isaac Annable lived in Stillwater in 1800. This is probably Eunice's father. She and Samuel Right Brown were married in Saratoga on 13 February, 1803. (This information was on a petition to the government to inquire of her eligibility for a land grant because Samuel had served as a volunteer and correspondant in the Volunteer Army in the War of 1812. She was denied the grant.) In this petition, it states that she never remarried but remained a widow of Samuel Right Brown for the rest of her life. In the autobiography, "The Life of Thurlow Weed" , Weed who once worked for Samuel R. Brown in Auburn's Cuyuga Patriot printing office, wrote; 'Mrs. Brown was placid, emotionless and slipshod. Both were imperturbable. Nothing disturbed either. There was no regular hour for breakfast or dinner, but meals were always under or over done. In short, like a household described by an early English author,"everything upon the table was sour, except the vinegar." The printing sympathized with the housekeeping. This was certainly telling of her personality and character. Weed also described the village of the Auburn, "as exceedingly muddy, rough-hewn and struggling." Eunice was head of her household in the census of 1820 and 1825, listing six males and one female. She was not in any census in 1830. She could have moved to Cameron, Steuben County, NY and living with one of her children. In the census for Torrey, Yates Co., in June 9, 1855, Eunice is listed in the household of her youngest son, Samuel Right Brown, Jr. By June 19, 1860, she is listed in the household of her son, William Henry Harrison Brown and his wife, Elenor Jane. Samuel, Jr. and family had moved to Indiana and IL by this time. It has been said that she became almost blind by the time she died. She is buried near her son, William Henry Harrison (Henry) and his wife, Jane; her son, Charles Volney and grandchild, John in the Brown family plot in City Hill Cemetery in Torry, Yates County, NY. All of the graves are next to the Uriah Townsend family plot and are notibly marked by a large brown granite monument marked,"Brown". On the backside of the Brown monument, it mentions Samuel R. Brown as being buried in Cherry Valley, NY.
