Hello again, fellow Brown searchers;

Yesterday, I asked if anyone might be interested in viewing a Pedigree from
Richard de Clare (an original signer of the Magna Charta); to the
Belden/Gilbert and Brown lines. I had all positive replies. However, several
method of delivery were submitted. The majority wanted it broken up into
.pages of smaller than 20K to fit almost any ones mail size. Perhaps I
misjudged what might be considered "to large"; as this current file is only
about 25K as it is. So I will break it in to two sections; hope that it comes
out OK.
As I said, I am a neophyte in the world of genealogy; and perhaps this
information is already in wide distribution. Hope some one might make use of
it. If so, I am attempting to decipher the browning onion skin copies of
letters, charts and ancestral lines that have been buried in a couple of boxes
in my basement for more than 30 years; if anyone requests them, I will make
them available, as I complete them. As I stated below, I just copied them, I
have no current documentation, nor the skills to properly judge their
authenticity.

(The accumulation of information in this document was begun by Etna Helen
(Maurer) Brown from 1945 to 1960; and by Edith Emily (Brown) Chestnut from
1950 to 1957. It was organized and typed by Frank Daniel Chestnut - 1997.
To the best of my knowledge, all information, dates and spellings; are
correct. However, as I have no documentation in my possession on the
following information; I can not attest to its accuracy.

Their elder son was Humphrey

*32. Humphrey Stafford was of Grafton, county of Worcester, died 1420,
married E'lizabeth, (daughter of John Burdett of Bramcote, county of Warwick).

(I believe that these are father and son; but they may be the same person;.
with Eleanor as his 2nd.wife.)

*33. Humphery Stafford, (as above?), married Eleanor Aylesbury. They
were the parents of Anne.

*34. Anne Stafford; married Richard de Nevill. They were the parents of

He was sheriff of Yorkshire in 1568.)
Among their eleven sons and seven daughters was Clare.

*36. Clare Norton, married Richard Goodrich (Goodricke) of Ripston.
Parents of Margaret.

*37. Margaret Goodrich, was born about 1560 in England; and died in
September 1598 in Kippax, Yorkshire, England. She married Sir Francis Bayldon
about 1588 in England. He was born in Kippax, Yorkshire, England; and died
14 June, 1622 in Monk Fryston, Yorkshire, England. They were the parents of
Richard.

*38. Richard Bayldon (Belden or Belding); was baptized at Kippax,
Yorkshire, on 26 August 1591.
He brought his family to America. He was appointed "town herder" in 1646;
and died at Wethersfield, Connecticut. on 22 August, 1655. He married
Margaret Ackrendon on 9 December, 1622 at Heptonstall, Yorkshire, England.
Their three sons were born in England, they were:

(a) William Belden, who was born in Yorkshire, England about 1622; he died
in
Connecticut on. 27 March, 1655. William married Thomesine Sherwood
about
1646 in Conn. .
(b) Samuel Belden, (see below.)
(c) John Belden, born in Yorkshire, England about 1634; died about
1677,
in Conn.; married Lydia Standish, appr. 1657.

Samuel was born about 1628, died at Hatfield, Massachusetts, on
3 January 1713/14. He married first, about 1654, Mary Meekins (or Mary
Hastings?), who was killed by Indians, at Hatfield, Mass. On 19 September
1677. She was the mother of all his children; including Elizabeth.
(There is some confusion at this point. A source, "History of Hadley,
Massachusetts" by Sylvester Judd 1976; reports that Samuel married Mary
Beardsley on 25 June, 1678 in Hadley, Hampshire, Massachusetts. Obviously,
she is not likely to be the mother of Elizabeth - below. Is she Samuel's
second wife?)

*40. Elizabeth Belden, born 1663, died at Brookfield, Massachusetts. 27
April 1735.
She married 31 Jan. 1682/3, Deacon Henry Gilbert, (son of Thomas ) who was
born at Springfield, Massachusetts, on 1 March 1660/61, and died at
Brookfield, Massachusetts on 17 Aug. 1740.
(He built a fort at Brookfield in 1688 called "Gilbert's Fort". He also
owned 681 acres of land.)
Henry Gilbert and Elizabeth Belden were the parents of Ebenezer.

*41. Ebenezer Gilbert, was born at Brookfield, Massachusetts about 1693,
died there in 1763, having married Deborah, about 1712. Ebenezer and his
wife Deborah were the parents of Henry.

*42. Henry Gilbert, was born at Brookfield, Massachusetts on 15 May
1719; and died at Peru, Massachusetts on 17 July 1798. He married Sarah
Domer who was born at Hadley, Massachusetts,
on 23 October 1723; and died, probably at New Braintree, Massachusetts.
They were the parents of Elijah Gilbert.

*43. Elijah Gilbert was born at Brookfield, 1 Nov. 1750; and died at
Peru, on 6 August 1829.
He was married at New Braintree on 14 Sept. 1775, to Mary Dunbar; who was
born at Leicester, Massachusetts, about 1755; and died at Peru,
Massachusetts on 22 March 1840. Elijah served as a private from
Massachusetts, in the Revolutionary War (Source: "D.A.R. Patriot's Index"
-- Part 2, page 1156).
Their daughters were Sarah Gilbert and Mary "Polly" Gilbert; (and they
married the brothers -- Solomon Brown and Daniel Brown).

(The Brown/Chestnut line branches off at this point, with Mary "Polly"
Gilbert and Daniel Brown.)
(For anyone that may have an interest in Sarah and Solomon, I have included
that branch at the end.)
