Misc. Notes
Pg 465330 Sixth Generation: Nicholas Brown, (s/o James, grandson of James, G grandson of John, GG grandson of Chad) The National Cyclopaedia of American Biography says of him (Vol. VIII, 27) “Nicholas Brown, merchant & benefactor of Brown University .. He contributed generously to the first college hall and, with his brothers, gave the land on which it stood. This was a part of the original home site of Chad Brown, their ancestor.”
Brown Family History65330
Pg 13-14: “Chad Brown as One of the Founders of the City of Providence and Providence Colony. ... He was a surveyor and was one of a committee who compiled a list of the home lots of the first settlers on Towne Street and “The Meadows” (Providence).
His home lot fronted on the “Towne Streete” now South Man and Market Square, with the sourthern boundary to the southward of College and South Main Streets. It was about one hundred and twelve feet wide, and extended eastwardly to the “Highway” now Hope street. The College Grounds of Brown University comprise a large portion of this lot. It is said that we are indebted to the above named committee for our knowledge of these first lots.
Chad Brown is mentioned as one of thirteen persons who signed the Providence Compact, ....
In 1640 he was one of a committee of four to deal with a boundary dispute between Providence and Pawtuxet (sic)....
In the ‘Chad Browne Memorial’ by Abby Isabel (Brown) Bulkley, Brooklyn, 1888, we find the following: ‘The same year (1640) ... Chad Brown ... were the committee of Providence Colony who reported to them their first written form of government, which was adopted and continued in force until 1644, when Roger Williams returned from England with the first charter. Of the thirty-nine signatures to this agreement, Chad Brown’s is the first.”
Pg 771-772 Brown65331 - Chad Brown was one of the founders of Providence, RI, signing the following agreement: “We whose names are hereunder, desirous to inhabit in the town of Providence, do promise to subject ourselves in active or passive obedience to all such orders, or agreements as shall be made for public good of the body in an orderly way by the Mayor, assent of the present inhabitants, masters of families incorporated together into a town fellowship and such others as they shall admix unto them, only in civil things.”
He served on a Committee to compile a list of the first lots situated on the town street. His service in this direction is mentioned years after in a letter from Roger Williams to John Whipple, Jr; 8 Jul 1689. Served also on a Committee, with three others, to settle all matters of difference between Providence and Pawtuxet, regarding the division of lines, and was the first settled (S: Gen Dict of RI p.314) pastor of the First Baptist Church.
Pg 66 He (Chad Browne) was bur: his remains were removed in 1792 to the North Burial Ground, where the gravestone then erected may still be seen, with the following inscription: In Memory of Chad Brown Elder of the Baptist Church in this town. He was one of the original Proprietors of the Providence Purchase Having been exiled from Massachusetts for Conscience Sake. He had five sons John, James, Jeremiah, Chad and Daniel who have left a numerous prosperity. He died about A.D. 1665. This Monument was erected by the Town of Providence.64688
