• Notes

  "Joseph Brown, Jr. , was born 20 Oct 1760 in Rowan Co., NC. His parents were Joseph Brown, Sr., and his wife, Mary Porter, both of whom were born in Ireland. They had immigrated to Pennsylvania in the mid-1750's with their parents, William and Margaret (Fleming) Brown and Hugh and Violett (Mackey ) Porter. This branch of my family was part of the wave of Scotch-Irish settlers who moved down the Appalachian trail to populate much of the Tennessee, Georgia, North and South Carolina area. Joseph enlisted in NC and served on various tours with NC Troops as a Private under Capt. Alexander Moore and Col. John Sevier. Joseph was in the Battle of Briar Creek and Kings Mountain. [His family records and military service are spelled out in his widow's Revolutionary Pension Application #W5744, which consists of over 100 pages of data, which is available on microfilm at the National Archives.] Joseph's family migrated from Rowan Co., NC, to Washington Co., TN, before 1781. In that year Joseph married Jemima Broyles, a daughter of Adam and Mary (Wilhoit) Broyles, formerly of Culpeper Co., VA, where their parents had immigrated from Germany as part of the Germanna Community in 1717. Joseph's parents moved on from Washington Co., TN, to Pendleton District, SC, after the war, and Joseph followed them a few years later, locating his family just across the Tugaloo River in Habersham Co., GA. Joseph died at the age of 40, on 28 Oct 1800, in Franklin Co., GA, and he is buried near Belton (now in Anderson Co.), SC, in a family cemetery. His record says that he died "on the river." I have never been able to learn whether that meant he was drowned, or whether it just meant that he lived near the river. Joseph and Jemima had eight children..."
