Child's Name: Martha Brown Date of Birth: April 18, 1762 Place of Birth: Hollis No. of Child: 4th Father's Name: John Brown Father's Residence: Hollis Mother's Maiden Name: Kezia Clerk of: Hollis
Children of John Brown and 2nd wife Martha Hewett: Martha, Sarah, and Stephen.
The birth record showing Kezia as the mother is also found in Source:Worcester, Samuel Thomas. History of the Town of Hollis, New Hampshire, so apparently the town records do not reflect John's 2nd marriage. Secondary sources seems fairly consistent about the death of Kezia in 1760 and the marriage to Martha in 1761, and naming a daughter Martha is exactly what one might expect in this situation, but finding a death record for Kezia would be very useful for confirming all this. There are a lot of worrisome little loose ends, such as the misnumbering of children, and not having a record for Stephen.
