4. | Brown Aaron was born on 25 Dec 1723 in Concord, Middlesex Co., MA (son of Brown Jonathan and Dudley Sibbell); died about 1770 in Charlestown, Sullivan County, NH. Notes:
I have not totally proved that the Levi Brown b. in Lunenberg, was thesame Levi as the on in Charlestown, NH. However, it is highly probablysince the Levi in Lunenberg was the son of Aaron and Abigail and theymoved to Charlestown from Lunenberg.
There were two Aaron Browns in Leominster/Lunenberg both having childrenaround the same time which causes a lot of confusion, especially sincethe Leominster first church records only give the father's name onbirths. Following are listing from the Leominster First Church:
Sept. 28, 1747 Aaron Brown and Rachel his wife joined church
Oct. 3, 1747 Aaron Brown on Leominster married Rachel Reed of Harvard
baptisms:
Oct. 1747 Sarah, dau. of Aaron Brown

One of the Aaron's was referred to as Aaron, Jr. both in church and townrecords, even though neither appears to be the son of an Aaron. Ibelieve the Jr. was simply a way of keeping them seperate and indicateswhich was younger. Notice that in the church records, Aaron has a sonAaron in 1752, so he wasn't the father of Aaron, Jr.. Aaron Brown, Jr.must have been the Aaron who married Abigail since both the church andtown records list a birth for Prudence. Likewise, the entries for Sarahshow that Aaron (Sr.) was Rachel Reed's husband. Aaron Jr. also hasbirths show in Lunenberg and Charlestown, NH.
