Noah Brown was born August 7, 1726 in Rehoboth, Massachusetts the son of William Brown and his second wife, Rebecca (Follett) Brown (Rehoboth, MA Vital Records, page 556).
Noah Brown died during the early phase of the American Revolution and his date of death was not entered into Attleborough's vital records. He was not a combatant, but he had sons who did serve. We know he likely died not long before 6 May 1776, when his son, Noah Brown, Jr. was named administrator of his estate (see "The Estate of Noah Brown of Attleborough, Mass.," published in THE MAYFLOWER DESCENDANT, volume 21, pp. 128-131).
Noah Brown's father-in-law, Stephen Wilmarth, gave the land to establish what is now commonly known as the Briggsville Burial Ground. At the end of the nineteenth century, the Briggsville Burial Ground was in deplorable shape. One commentator noted:
“Very few stones are to be found at the present time, and those still standing will soon disappear if left alone. Possibly some might be found by digging beneath the surface, though attempts made in that direction have met with no result; either therefore there were none erected at many of the graves, or they have been totally destroyed.”
