Daughter of Ebenezer Prime and Margaret Sylvester, wife of Reverend James Brown(e) of Bridgehampton
"January 19th, 1749/50.
Alas, Alas! I have Reason to mourn bitterly, and to be deeply humbled before the Lord, for on this Day between eleven & twelve departed this Life my dear Daughter Margeret Browne (in Huntington) Wife to the Revd. Mr. James Brown of Bridg-Hampton, aged 23 Years 9 Months and 10 Days.
The only Branch of my Family by my first Marriage is now taken away. But blessed be God for the abundant Reason I have to hope that She is now triumphing with Christ in Glory, whether I trust her dear Brother ascended more than seven Years ago.
But alas, alas ! I am here in a World of Sin & Sorrow. The Root is waxed old and dried up in the Earth, and both the Sprigs are cut off as with a pruning Hook, so that I am left as a poor old Tree bereaved of those precious Branches. Yet I desire to bless God, and say, as in Job : i. 21."
