Second Wife Mary Ann (Polly) Blake

Mary Ann Blake

Born 6 May 1772 Reeds Point, Quispamsis, Kings, New Brunswick, Canada

Married 1) James Craig 12 September 1788 St John, New Brunswick, Canada

Children: Nancy, Phoebe, Daniel, Moriah, Christopher, Jacob

FAMILY STORY:

In 1780, when she was a little girl, Mary was taken during an Indian raid. A few years after she disappeared, the Americans and English made peace. The Indians had a village just below the ferry at Fredericton and would take their furs there to trade. 

A trader on the East side of the Ferry traded rum for a Church of England prayer book with silver caps on the corners. He found Mary's name inside so went over to St. Ann's Point and showed the officers the book. 

The Captain advised him to return across the river and keep the Indians there for a few days so he and his men could search the Indian village. The trader passed out free drinks and the Indians stayed. 

The Rangers reached the village near the Tobique River at night, but Mary wasn't there so went upriver to the next village. The Indians had been warned to move her and she was taken 10 miles farther upriver to Wapske. The Rangers went overland and found Mary. 

On their return, they had to brave rapids and high cliffs where the Indians would hurl rocks at them as they passed. Captain Stewart led them to believe they were still hunting for the child and their canoe was allowed to pass.

Later when Mary and her husband, William Orser, settled at the mouth of the Becaguimec, she knew the ways of the Indians and could speak with them.  She moved with her husband, William Orser, to a house near a big spring (near Upper St. John River at what is now Hartland, New Brunswick.

Abraham Browne 1730 Mary Trotter 1734

Abraham Browne
Born 23 Apr 1730 Plumstead, Bucks, Pennsylvania
Parents Joseph Browne and Ann Dawson
Religion:  Quaker
Note:  Abraham was disowned by the Quakers in 1756 when they charged him with "bearing arms in the war"  When a member's offense came to the attention of the Monthly Meeting which was not supposed to happen before one or more Friends had already admonished the offender without success, the meeting would appoint a committee (usually of two solid Friends) to ascertain the facts about the matter reported, and (if the member complained of was guilty) to learn whether he or she was repentant. It the individual did not seem contrite the visiting Friends would labor with him or her in meekness and brotherly compassion, hoping to bring the offender to sincere repentance. If this was successful the Friend would offer a written apology (often called an acknowledgment ) expressing that what he or she had done was contrary to the principles of Friends, that s/he was sorry for it and intended with God's help to behave better in the future. This was also referred to as condemning one's action. There was no shunning involved in disownment; familial and secular relationships continued as before. http://www.quaker.org/disown.html

Parents: George Browne and Mercy Wright

Born 27 May 1666 Barking, Essex, England

Occupation:  Shoemaker

Immigrant from England to the colonies in the winter of 1700-1701
Married Mary Ayer 17 Jul 1694 Plaistow, Essex, England

The following is from the "we relate.org" link in the source section

From the Large Cabinet Drawer A.

Photostat of certificate, partly written and partly in the form used by Quakers in England. The certificate is of "Thomas of Barking in the County of Essex, shoemaker, Son of George Browne, late of the same place, Mealman, Deceased." dated this seventeenth day of the fifth month called July, in the year, according to the English account, one thousand six hundred ninety and four." There are at least 37 subscribing witnesses, some of the names being illegible. As the photostat is badly smudged, no attempt was made to copy the certificate here, but the following interesting letter covers the facts relating hereto:

The Cottage
Smithville, Burlington co., NJ
9mo 21st 1936
Mr. George MacReynolds, Librarian
Doylestown, PA

Dear Sir,

On Saturday last, I left with a woman in charge of the Historical Society's rooms a photostat of the marriage certificate of Thomas Brown & Mary Eyre (Ayre, Ayer), made in Plaistow, Essex, in 1694. The original parchment was, in 1890, in possession of the late John Shaw Brown, of Swarthmore, PA, one-time owner of the Bucks County Intelligencer.

I had lost trace of this document for many years, but found at the Historical Soc. of PA a negative made by my friend, the late Gilbert Cope, and had a few copies made, one of which I promised to Mr. Russell Hayes, of the Friends Historical Library at Swarthmore. 

The copy I left for your collection was intended for Warren S. Ely, but his decease precluded my giving it to him. The reason I passed it on to you is that possibly some descendants of Thomas Browne, through female lines, may be interested, Bucks County being the home of Thomas in his late years, and for two or three generations his descendants intermarried with other Quaker families in that section - Dyers, Shaws, Michener, Paxson, Ellicott and others.

Thomas Browne and his family came to Philadelphia in the winter of 1700-1701, lived on Second Street near the site of the present Christ Church, exchanging that property in 1708 for 245 acres in Plumstead and in 1722 an additional 500 acres in Buckingham, dying in 1747-8 at his home at Brownsville, now Gardenville. Friends Meeting was held in his house 1727, 8, and 9, and in 1730 he and two of his sons transferred for a nominal sum, 15 acres for the use of Plumstead Meeting, then organized.

The descendants are mainly through female lines, but I may note Thomas Brown, Minister among Friends, Philadelphia, 1787, London 1788; also, Major General Harvey Brown, graduate of West Point, etc. The Ellicott genealogy gives many descendants due to numerous marriages to Brown's daughters who were born Brown. Among these, I may mention is M. Cary Thomas, of Bryn Mawr College.
Being interested in genealogy, I wrote a number of notices of Bucks County families for the second edition of General Davis' History. If you know of any descendants of Thomas Browne interested in the family history, I shall be glad to hear of them.

Sincerely yours, F. Wiston Browne

Died 17 Jul 1694 Plaistow, Essex, England
