      He was in the Revolutionary War Westchester County NY Militia, listed in 3rd Regiment. DAR Patriot Index (1966). He served in Crane's Regiment from 1779-1781 with his brothers, Benajah, Eliphalet, Jr. and Timothy Brown, and also his brother-in-law Stephen Slason/Slawson (husband of his sister, Thankful Brown). Jesse Bouton, a neighbor and witness to Solomon's will in 1815, was also in the regiment. Jesse died before the probate in 1821. His children later married Solomon's children. Jesse Bouton was the father-in-law of Isaac Brown who married Rachel Bouton, and the future father-in-law of Solomon Brown's daughter Matilda who married his son Wilson Bouton

      The children of Solomon and Sarah (Slawson) Brown were:
      1) Samuel Brown born Aug 15, 1773. He married Rheua who was born April 17, 1777.
      2) Solomon Brown, Jr. was born about 1774 and in 1834 was made guardian of his sister Matilda Brown's two sons (Westchester Court records)
      3) Rhoda Brown* was born April 9, 1775 and married first Lewis Northrup and second Squire Dann.
      4) Isaac Brown was born June 5, 1780 and married Rachel Bouton.

      7) Sarah "Sally" Brown was born about 1795.
      8) Matilda Brown was born about 1799 and married Wilson Bouton. In 1834, their two sons Roswell Bouton (age 12) and Wilson Bouton, Jr. (age 10) were made wards of Solomon Brown, Jr., their uncle.
      9) Nancy Brown was born about 1800 and probably a spinster since her father's will made provisions for her.
      *Rhoda, Elizabeth and Thankful were not named in their father's will, but Solomon does indicate that his "daughters that have been married" were to receive the same $100 from his estate that his other children were to enjoy.
