Joseph Brown married early in 1797, with Experience Stafford, who was born in Vermont. 8 Feb., 1778, daughter of Abel and Rebecca (Short) Stafford, afterward of the town of Owego, now Tioga, NY. His name is not on the highway tax-list of 1798, which seems to indicate that he was not then a separate householder. He owned the north half of lot 98, and built his house on the gravelly knoll, just north of Hope Cemetery, and between that and the residence of David W. Noble. His blacksmith shop was on the opposite side of the way, in the corner of the old orchard, a few feet south of William T. Noble's old store. He died 20 Jan., 1808, and was buried in the Brown cemetery, at Berkshire. His widow married with Daniel Churchill (buried at Hope Cemetery in Newark Valley). Their children were :
I. Laurinda Brown, b 23 Oct., 1797; m with Nathan Slosson
II. Rebecca Short Brown, b 4 April, 1799; m with Frederick Belcher
III. Beulah Patterson Brown, b 22 Jan., 1801; m with Lester H. Fuller
IV. Experience Brown, b 26 Sept., 1803; m with Ephraim Munson Clark
V. Joseph Patterson Brown, b 15 June, 1805; m with Lura Matilda Russell, and his descendants live at Little Rock, Ark.
VI. Amos Patterson Brown, b 8 April, 1808; died on his father's homestead, 10 Sept., 1865, and his widow and daughter still live in Newark Valley.
