According to most sources, Benjamin Sr. Brown was born 11 Nov 1741 in Groton, New London County, Connecticut and died 22 Dec 1822 in Athens, Leeds County, Ontario, Canada. His parents were Thomas Sr. Brown & Deborah Wells. He married about 1768 at Nine Partners, Dutchess County, NY to Sarah Case. Their children: Nathan Sr. m. Susannah Wilber; Benjamin Jr. m. Susannah Charlotte Wickham; Hannah m. Dyer Fitch; Seth "Jolly"; Oliver m. Sarah Wiltse; Lucy m. John Wickham; Ezra m. 1st to Elizabeth Newell, 2nd to Sabrina Ransom; Jonathan m. 1st to Catherine Lamb Lesher, 2nd to Esther; Daniel m. Mary Wiltse; Esther; Case m. Mary "Polly" Lesher. It's said that Benjamin Sr. Brown served in the Revolutionary War first for nine days as a private with the New York Militia, and later as an officer under the command of Gen. George Washington. One son, Nathan Brown, served with the British Army in the War of 1812. Son Daniel was captured by the British, tried for treason and was acquitted. Sons Case and Ezra Brown refused to serve and they fled from Canada and served the American cause as spies and guides. In 1821, Case and Ezra built the first grist mill in Eden Township, Seneca County, Ohio on a bend of Honey Creek above Melmore, Ohio. Tuckerman-Brown Family History by Joyce Tuckerman Zeigler says that Benjamin Sr. Brown & wife are buried in Friends Cemetery, Athens, Leeds County, Ontario. This small cemetery, now in ruins, is on the eastern edge of Athens across the road from the former location of Friends Meeting House. (AFT-John Christian Danner 1708-1784)
