  • Notes 
    • Boaz Brown was born 14 Feb 1641/2 in Concord Mass. He was admitted as Freeman in Concord 15 Oct 1673. Boaz was one of several men from Concord who were responsible for founding Stow in 1683 when they purchased the indian plantation Pompositticut. He was also chosen as one of the first selectmen for several terms thereafter.

      Boaz was the first minister of the Stow Congregational Church. He moved to Dedham where he was called Ensign in the tax records of 1695. Sometime after 1715 he returned to Concord, where he died 9 Apr 1724, at the age of 83. He is buried in the South Burying Ground in Concord.

      Excerpt from Boaz Brown's will.
      "..unto my two grandsons Amos Brown and Boaz Brown ye children of my youngest son Edward Brown deceased I do will and bequeath all my housing and lands to me belonging within ye limits and bounds of ye aforesaid Town of Stow.". The will also mentions his "..three grandchildren, Deliverance Brown, Mercy Heald, and Ephraim Brown ye surviving children of my eldest son Boaz Brown deceased".

    • Thomas Brown was the emigrant ancestor of Josiah Brown, of Worcester, of the late Alzirus Brown, and many other Worcester families. He came from England and settled at Sudbury, where the general court granted him two hundred acres of land October 7, 1640, for the adventure of Mrs. Anne Harvyes. He was in Sudbury in 1640, but the records of his family are at Concord. After 1650 he removed to Cambridge, Massachusetts, and was admitted to the church there, May 18, 1666.

      He married (first) Bridget, by whom he had his first five children at Concord. Before 1658 he had married Martha, widow of Thomas Oldham, by whom he had four or more children at Cambridge. He died in November or December, 1690.

      His will was made November 23, 1690, and proved January, 1691. He bequeathed to his wife Martha, to his daughters Mehitabel and Martha, and to his sons, Ebenezer and Ichabod. The inventory shows house and land at Cambridge, and three hundred acres at Worcester.

      Children of Thomas Brown were:

      I. Boaz, born at Concord, February 14, 1641-2; died April 7, 1724; married November 8. 1664, Mary Winship, daughter of Edward and Jane Winship ; and had : Boaz, Jr., who settled in Stow ; Thomas, Mary, and Edward.
