[29579] This line is from One World Tree at Ancestry.com and is not verified - this file states Luke is son of Elisha Brown (b. 29 June 1740 in Winchedon, Worcester Co., MA, d. 10 Sept 1827 in Springfield, VT) and Meriel Bates (b. 10 Sept 1754 in Hingham, MA, d. 22 Aug 1851 in Springfield, VT, m. 16 Nov 1775 in Winchedon, MA). "History of the Town of Springfield, Vermont . . .," C. Horace Hubbard & Justus Dartt (Boston: George H. Walker & Co., 1895), p. 234: "Elisha Brown, one of the noted men among the early settlers, was probably b. in 1749 in Cohasset, Mass. His wife was Merrail Bates, b. in Cohasset in 1754. She was sister of Moses Bates and Lieut. Roger Bates. After their marriage they lived in Winchendon, Mass. In the spring of 1778 they came to Springfield on horseback, Mrs. Brown riding behind her husband on a pillion, with their household goods in a pillowcase strapped to the horse. Mr. Brown bought land of James Bates, east of the river, which was later known as the Bates farm, and is now owned by the heirs of Hamhn Whitmore. Isaac Tower settled on the hill just above, about the same time. Ml-. Brown was a soldier of the Revolution, and was iu the battle of Bunker Hill. He was familiarly known as 'Brigadier Brown.' In 1790 he sold his farm to Phiueas and Theophilus Bates, and in 1794 he purchased land west of the river, on what is now called Seminary Hill. At this time there were no settlers or improvements on the site of the village, and the forest was almost unbroken, and frequented by bears and wolves. There were no roads, except bridle paths marked by blazed trees. Mrs. Brown used to visit her neighbors on the other side of the river on horseback, fording the river below the falls. In 1797 Mr. Brown built the one-story house now standing west of the l oad on Seminary Flill, and in 1802 the two-story house owned by the late Charles Holt. He was known ns a thrifty, close-calculating man, who well understood the art of accumulating property ; and at the time of his death, Sept. 10, 1827, he was able to leave to each of his sons a farm, except David, who chose the tannery, on the site of the shops of the Novelty Works Company. Mrs. Brown survived her husband many years, and d. Aug. 22, 1851. She was an excellent woman, and stood very high in the esteem of her neighbors and friends. She was of a most genial and pleasant disposition, charitable and generous, and always ready with a word of encouragement and a helping hand for every one in distress. She united with the Congregational Church in 1801, soon after Pastor Smiley came, and he was accustomed to designate her as 'one of the ancient and honorable women.'"

Joan may be daughter of Sir Richard Foliot [q.v.] per "Ancestral Roots..." (7th Edition), p. 77. See http://www.thepeerage.com/p586.htm. Cf. Douglas Richardson posted 19 April 2004 in http://newsarch.rootsweb.com/th/read/GEN-MEDIEVAL: "Complete Peerage 10 (1945): 222 (sub Oxford), footnote a, gives a good
account of the life of Sir Alphonse de Vere, of Great Hormead, Hertfordshire (died 1328). The editor indicates that Leland, Itinerary, ed. by Smith, states that his wife was Joan, daughter of Sir Richard Foliot, 'but no proof has been found of this. Actually there is additional evidence of Sir Alphonse's wife's identity. The 1563/4 Visitation of Yorkshire gives the following information: Sir Alphonso de Vere Erl of Oxford maryed = Jone doughter of .... Follyot.' [Reference: H.S.P. 16 (1881): 227 (1563/4 Vis. Yorkshire) (Nevil pedigree)]. This confirms that Sir Alphonse's wife was named Joan Foliot, but leaves her parentage unidentified. John Ravilious' account of the Foliot family provided below indicates that the manor of Cowesby, Yorkshire was held in 1282 by Sir Jordan Foliot, 1st Lord Foliot (died 1299)[q.v.]. Complete Peerage 5 (1926): 538-540 (sub Foliot) indicates that Sir Jordan Foliot earlier inherited Cowesby, Yorkshire from his maternal uncle, Sir Robert de Stuteville. My own research indicates that by 1316, Cowesby, Yorkshire had passed to Sir Alphonse de Vere [Reference: Feudal Aids, 6 (1920): 175]. Likewise, I find that in 1324, Sir Alphonse de Vere presented to the church of Cowesby, Yorkshire as its patron [Reference: R.M.T. Hill, Register of William Melton Archbishop of York, 1 (Canterbury & York Soc. 70) (1977): 129]. I presume Sir Alphonse de Vere had Cowesby, Yorkshire in marriage with his wife, Joan, who chronologically would fit to be a daughter of Sir Jordan Foliot. Sir Alphonse and Joan were evidently married before 1312 (date of birth of their son, John de Vere, later 7th Earl of Oxford)."
