    Notes:

    I have come to the conclusion that the Revolutionary War service of Silas Brown, as claimed by his descendants, is non-existent.

    The service in question is that detailed in "The Brown-Schutt Genealogy, 1948", and further represented in "Brown-Schutt Ancestral Lines, 1979". The data on Silas Brown's service was compiled by Maude Levering Lawrence and Geraldine Lawrence Hurd. The work of these 2 women shows up in several family genealogies.

    Our Silas died in 1813. The Silas who is cited in the above mentioned books was alive in 1834, and living in Essex county New York, when he was awarded a pension on the cited revolutionary service.

    Another Silas Brown was found on the Revolutionary Pension Rolls. This Silas was living in Townsend, Wyndham County, Vermont, which is close to Putney. This is also not our Silas since this pension was awarded to a living Silas Brown in 1818. He died in 1826 and is buried in Townsend. Following data from findagrave.com.

    ********************************
    It is still possible our Silas served in the Revolutionary War, but evidence has not been found. Silas Brown was a very common name at the time, making the identification of relevant records more difficult. Since there are no pension documents for Silas, which usually contain enlistment and service data at a minimum, it makes it nearly impossible to say which Silas Brown in the muster rolls is actually him.

    The evidence does affirm, however, that our Silas is the one who married Mary Nims Larabee, and settled in Putney Vermont. Though his children were born prior to the family moving to Putney, a number of their marriage records are contained in the Putney Vital Records.

    Silas married Mary Nims about 1776. Mary (daughter of Ebenezer Nims and Mercy Smead) was born on 23 May 1756 in Keene, Cheshire, New Hampshire, USA; died on 13 Nov 1819 in Putney, Windham, Vermont, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

    Notes:

    Source: Nims Family Association:

    Ebenezer Nims, captured in 1704, was then 17 years old and made the march to Canada, was adopted by a squaw and lived at Lorette. Of his romantic marriage to Sarah Hoyt (born May 6th 1686, to David & Sarah Wilson Hoyt). Mr. Sheldon says:

    "The priest urged her to marry. They pertinaciously, insisted upon it as a duty, and had a French officer selected as her mate, thus assuring themselves of permanent resident and popish converts. Professing to be convinced of her duty in ther, Sara declared one day in public that she would be married, if any of her fellow-captives would have her. Ebenezer Nims, a life-long companion, at once stepped forward and claimed her for his bride. The twain was made one upon the spot. The wily priests had met their match, for it is easy to believe that this was a prearranged issue on the part of the lovers."
