Unfortunately, while trying to prove the connection between Hannah Brown, daughter of Jeremiah Brown and Eleanor Lillibridge and the Hannah Brown who married Joseph Congdon b. 1766, my ggg-grandfather, I came across something in "Washington Co., RI Births from Death Records" which refutes the connection. "Brown - Hannah, of Jeremiah and Eleanor, b 1783 SK (South Kingstown) [si(single);d 26 Apr 1861 Ne(Newport) (NeD (Newport Deaths) 4-57)
If this is correct, she could not be the same Hannah Brown who married Joseph Brown.Later I found two Browns (David and Isaac) listed as close neighbors of Joseph Congdon on the 1810 federal census for Wallingford, Rutland Co., VT.I will try to follow this lead as possible family ( David as possible sibling as he has a young family and possibly Isaac as her father as he and his wife are listed as being over 45 on the census) for Hannah Brown, wife of Joseph Congdon.
