Notes for: Patience Brown

Other than her birth record, no reference to Patience Brown as a child of Benjamin Brown & Hannah Benjamin has been found. Some versions of the Barbour Collection of Connecticut Vital Records report Jun 11 1776 as Patience's birth date, some report that as her death date, and some as both. We consider it possible that Patience is the same person as Benjamin & Hannah's daughter Thankful, who married Jirah Peabody and for whom no birth record by that name has been found. Thankful's age in the 1850 and 1860 censuses would put her birth in or about 1776.
