Dear Sir:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request the Revolutionary War record of a soldier with surname Brown, who lived in Licking County, Ohio, also, the records of Ezekiel Brown, of Delaware County, Ohio, and John Brown, of Pickaway County, Ohio.
The records of the two soldiers last named are given herein as found in the claims for pension based upon their service in the Revolutionary War. In order to identify the other soldier in whom you are interested, his full name is essential because that surname is borne so many times on the records.
Ezekiel Brown S.3064
Ezekiel Brown was born March 13, 1760, in Orange County, New York, and about five years before the commencement of the Revolution, moved with his father to Northumberland County, Pennsylvania. The names of his parents are not shown.
While living in Northumberland County, Pennsylvania, before the commencement of the Revolutionary War, Ezekiel Brown was enrolled in a company of militia, and when orders were received to raise troops for the army, he volunteered about December 1, 1776, served in Captain Cookson Long's Company, Colonel James Potter's Pennsylvania Regiment and was discharged the latter part of March following: he stated that he was in the battle of Quibbleton: no details of this service given; also in skirmishes at Rahway Bridge, Bonnemstown Meeting House and Gorman's Hill; He enlisted in the spring of 1778, served in Captain William Hepburn's Company, Colonel James Morrow's Pennsylvania Regiment, was stationed at Willis' Station and served as an Indian Spy: while out scouting on May 24, with two other soldiers, they came upon a party of Delaware and Cayuga Indians, had a skirmish with them, in which one of his party was killed and the other escaped but he was taken prisoner; was carried by the Indians to New York to several of their villages

and compelled to run the gauntlet three times, received a severe cut on the head from a tomahawk, and numerous bruises. He was next taken to the great Indian village of the Cayugas where their chief resided and here he was adopted into an Indian family in the place of a son who had been killed at Fort Stanwix and was not afterward beaten; he was finally taken to Niagara where he was held as a prisoner until 1783, when he was exchanged and returned to his home in Northumberland County, Pennsylvania.
About the year 1800, Ezekiel Brown moved to the state of Ohio, and in 1808, settled in Delaware County, that state.
He was allowed pension on his application executed November 19, 1832, while residing in Berkshire Township, Delaware County, Ohio.
He died April 24, 1841, place not shown.
Children survived him but their names and the name of his wife are not stated, and there are no further family data.

The proof of service in the case of Ann M. Brown is furnished by the papers of her late husband. But the alleged date of the marriage should be established by that grade of evidence which the records of the town at church or county so generally afford.
The paper purporting to be a family register is not old enough to be availing evidence of a distant date -
