Interment on the Christopher Brown farm, two miles south of Pendleton Hill. M., first, Mary Breed, dau of John and Mary (Palmer) Breed, June 21, 1721. She d. 1744. The marriage certificate says: “Married, June 21, 1721, by Rev. Hezekiah Lord, Pastor of the Church in Preston, Conn.” M., second, Prudence, who d. Dec. 2, 1768, aged sixty-nine years. She had no children. In 1722 his father, Thomas (2), deeded to his son a tract of land about one mile east from his homestead (see original Deed, Appendix II.) , nine months after his marriage to Mary Breed. Here Daniel and Mary built their house. The original site of the house is seen by the cut, where on the same spot Nathan (60), his son, erected a new house.

        We find that Daniel (24) removed to the north part of the town, near his son Capt. Christopher (59). He was active in church work, living in the immediate vicinity where the First Babtist Meeting-house was built; in Stonington he and Thomas Holmes gave the land on which it was erected. The church was organized in 1743. Probably the first interments on the Christopher Brown farm were his first wife, Mary (Breed) Brown, in 1744; afterwards, his second wife, Prudence, in 1768; Daniel, in 1771. Their headstones were imported from England. This burying-ground is enclosed by a heay stone wall. years ago this enclosure of the dead is said to have been well kept; at present the grounds need attention,where these honored dead rest.
