    Notes 
    • Hazel Lillian Brown Davis is the only surviving descendant still living on part of the original homestead of Wright S. Brown and Hannah Newland Brown who settled there sometime in 1783. She was one of only two children of William Wallace Brown, Jr. She married Arthur Thompson Davis but is childless as was her brother, William Wallace Brown, 3rd.

      Part of the original homestead where she lives is located on Brown road, just north of 9P road, at the intersection of Pultney and Brown roads, east of Saratoga Lake. The land north of her home is the rest of the homestead which is now owned by others.

      Her family once had an inn further up the road, which included a swimming pool, made of white tile bricks, indirect lighting, beautiful gardens surrounding the place and a pond. The swimming pool is in disrepair and falling apart but it had to be beautiful in it's day.
