Notes

I have not totally proved that the Levi Brown b. in Lunenberg, was the same Levi as the on in Charlestown, NH. However, it is highly probably since the Levi in Lunenberg was the son of Aaron and Abigail and they moved to Charlestown from Lunenberg.

There were two Aaron Browns in Leominster/Lunenberg both having children around the same time which causes a lot of confusion, especially since the Leominster first church records only give the father's name on births. Following are listing from the Leominster First Church:

Sept. 28, 1747 Aaron Brown and Rachel his wife joined church
Oct. 3, 1747 Aaron Brown on Leominster married Rachel Reed of Harvard

baptisms:

Oct. 1747 Sarah, dau. of Aaron Brown
Jan 14, 1750 Prudence, dau. of Aaron Brown, Junr.
Mar 25, 1750 Ephriam, son of Aaron Brown
Mar 29, 1752 Aaron, son of Aaron Brown
Sept 24, 1752 Levi, son of Aaron Brown, Junr.
Oct 27, 1754 Silas and Elizabeth (twins), children of Aaron Brown
June 11, 1758 Molly, dau of Aaron and Rachel Brown

Following are from Leominster, MA VR

Aug. 13, 1747 Sarah, dau of Aaron and Rachel Brown
Jan 11, 1749-50 Prudence, dau of Aaron and Abigail Brown
Jan 14, 1749-50 Ephriam, son of Aaron and Rachel Brown

One of the Aaron's was referred to as Aaron, Jr. both in church and town records, even though neither appears to be the son of an Aaron. I believe the Jr. was simply a way of keeping them seperate and indicates which was younger. Notice that in the church records, Aaron has a son Aaron in 1752, so he wasn't the father of Aaron, Jr.. Aaron Brown, Jr. must have been the Aaron who married Abigail since both the church and town records list a birth for Prudence. Likewise, the entries for Sarah show that Aaron (Sr.) was Rachel Reed's husband. Aaron Jr. also has births show in Lunenberg and Charlestown, NH.

Lunenberg, MA VR

Jan 31, 1744-45 Aaron, son of Aaron and Abigail Brown
Feb 17, 1746-47 David, son of Aaron and Abigail Brown
Dec 13, 1754 Jonathan, son of Aaron and Abigail Brown (he d. July 17, 1759)
Feb. 2, 1757 Hepsibah, dau of Aaron and Abigail Brown
Oct. 1, 1759 Jonathan, son of Aaron and Abigail Brown

Charlestown, NH VR

May 16, 1762 Elijah, son of Aaron and Abigail Brown

The probate records for the Estate of Aaron Brown of Charlestown (Feb 18, 1770?) mention s. Aaron Jr., and include David Brown as a creditor. According to Charlestown town records, they were warned out of Charlestown on Mar 27, 1760 after having arrived in Feb. 4, 1760. However they apparently stayed for a while. Later probate shows Jonas Cutler of Groton, MA trying to get money fron Aaron and Aaron Jr. of Charlestown (May 16, 1769 docket #15226). In docket #28508, Simon Sartwell of Charlestown got a judgement against Capt. Aaron Brown of Westmoreland, NH on June 11, 1771 after he left town owing money. That was probably Aaron Brown Jr. who left after Aaron Sr. passed away.
