"Mercy Tuttle, b. April 27, bap. May 19, 1650; m. May 2, 1667, Samuel, son of FRANCIS* and MARY (EDWARDS) BROWN, bap. April 9, 1645; (Mercy's brother, JOSEPH TUTTLE, married same day to HANNAH MUNSON.) He was an original subscriber to the compact for the settlement of Wallingford and had a lot assigned to him, but not building on it within the prescribed time lost his title. The lot was afterwards assigned to JOHN MOSS, in whose family it remained until within a few years. In 1850 MOSES Y. BEACH of the N. Y. Sun bought the property and erected an elegant mansion now known as the Beach House; JOHN MOSS, JOHN BROCKETT and SAMUEL BROWN were friends and were assigned adjoining lots.--Davis' History of Wallingford. He died in Wallingford Nov. 6, 1691, age 45; Mercy was living as late as 1695, in New Haven, perhaps with THOMAS TROWBRIDGE. At court in 1694 it appeared the JOHN LATHROP had sold lands to SAMUEL BROWN of Wallingford and died before giving deeds; Lathrop's admr. were authorized to deliver the deeds to the heirs and assigns of said Brown, and Brown's heirs to confirm the same to JOHN DOOLLITTLE.--North Haven Land Records."
"*FRANCIS BROWN was one of the prospecting company who came with Gov. EATON to Quinnipiac in advance of the colony and was left with six others to spend the winter of 1637-38 in a hut erected near what is now the corner of Church and George streets in New Haven, Conn. The names of five, as given by LAMBERT, were JOSHUA ATWATER, FRANCIS BROWN, JOHN BEECHER, ROBERT PIGG and THOMAS HOGG--Lambert, Coop. fm. Trumbull. WINTHROP notices the uncommon severity of that winter and says the snow lay deep from the 4th of Nov. to the 23d of March. One of the men (supposed JOHN BEECHER) died before spring and was buried. In 1750, in excavating the cellar for the stone house still standing at the intersection of George and Meadow streets, the bones of a large man were found, supposed to be those of the man who died as above, being buried in the English instead of the Indian (Sitting) position. FRANCIS BROWN kept the ferry at Red Rock till 1650, when GEORGE PARDEE took it and the ferry farm, granted to PARDEE, continues in his family. He married in England, MARY EDWARDS, and died in East Haven 1668 -- Dodd.
