"Asa (Brown), b 18 Feb 1748/9 (Waterbury Vital Records), 'Asaph' bp 26 Feb 1648/9 (church record, St. James' [Prot. Ep.], Derby); Census (Wat) 1-2-3."
↑ The identification of this Asa Brown as husband of Elizabeth (McKay) Luddington and Abigail Andrews is not proven but is probable based on several facts:
(1) Published Connecticut vital records identify three men of the name who were of an appropriate age to marry the widow Luddington. Asa of Stonington (b. 1740) appears to have married there in 1767. Asa of Bolton (b. 1746) and Asa of Waterbury (b. 1749) remain. Jacobus lists the Asa of Waterbury as heading a Waterbury household of 1-2-3 in the 1790 census which corresponds closely to Asa, his then wife Abigail Andrews, his two children with Elizabeth (one male, one female), one daughter with Abigail, and a second unknown male under the age of 16.
(2) Elizabeth wife of one Asa Brown died at Wallingford 12 September 1777. One Asa Brown married one Abigail Andrews at Wallingford 7 May 1778.
(3) One Rebecca Luddington married one Ebenezer Brown at Waterbury on 28 February 1781; published Connecticut vital records identify only one woman of that name who would have been available for that marriage, the Rebecca, daughter of Nathaniel and Elizabeth (McKay) Luddington who was born at Wallingford on 9 October 1764 and both of whose parents were dead prior 1778.
The above would seem to render the identification probable and it might be proved (or disproved) by additional research in Wallingford and Waterbury land and probate records.
