I too have an early settler of Pound Ridge. James Brown was in the first list compiled in 1741, according to Scarf' history:
"In 1741 a settlement was made where the village now stands by Joseph Lockwood, James Brown, David Potts, Ebenezer Scofield and others from Stamford. Joseph Lockwood (then seventy-seven years of age) was accompanied by is son Joseph, who had married Sarah, a daughter of Joshua Hoyt, one of the original proprietors, and his grandson Ebenezer, then a boy of six, who was destined to take a prominent part in the coming Revolutionary struggle. Eleven years before this, in 1730, Deacon John Fancer had settled in the town, being, as far as can be ascertained, the first settler. He had seven some and two daughters and from him are descended all the Fancers of Poundridge.
I would love to know more about this illusive ancestor. In June 6, 1737, James Brown married Sarah Jones.
It would be nice if we could hook up this line. Candee Hoff
