== Notes ==
"Jacob Brown's fifth child, Phillip Brown, was born about 1760 in Rowan County, North Carolina. There he married Rebecca Baker on March 1, 1790, and had two sons—David and Thomas. Rebecca died at some point between 1793 and 1796. Phillip moved with his father's family to Washington County, Tennessee, and he there married Catherine Slyger, daughter of John and Catrina Slyger, on December 20, 1796. They were reportedly slaveholders. Phillip and Catherine lived in Washington County, Tennessee, for several years but emigrated to the Liberty, Indiana, area in the early 1800's. In 1813, they settled in Ohio, eventually becoming some of the first settlers in Neave Township, near Greenville, Darke County, Ohio. They lived on an 80 acre tract of land and it is also said that Phillip was the founder of the Mennonite Church (now the Christian Church) in Darke County. He was reported as being "a leading and useful citizen; his house, which was a hewn-log structure, was considered above average, and was used for several years for church services." He and Catherine had several children from about 1797 to 1821, among them: Julius, Betsy, Benjamin, Caleb, Jacob S., Eliza, Malinda, Henry, Mahala, Adam, Rebecca, and Barbara A. He died on February 28, 1848, in Neave Twp., Darke County, Ohio. His will, dated Feb. 2, 1848, indicated that all his property was to go to his wife for her lifetime, then to his sons Henry and Adam for their lifetimes, and then to be divided among his grandchildren. On May 20, 1856, a Petition in Chancery was filed by his son-in-law James Marqueth against Catherine Brown, Phillip's widow. The settlement divided the property among thirteen different Browns. Catherine spent the remainder of her days living with her son Henry and died in 1860 of old age after an illness of six days." [Author unknown. No reference given.]
