Thought (by Lucy Ebert) to be the son of Jacob Brown.
Jacob married Elizabeth Brick nee Carll, widow of Joseph Brick, before the 30th
of October, 1766, the date of the Will of his step son William Brick.30 Oct 1766 -- William Brick, in his will of this date, names "my father in
law" (step father) as his Executor.28 Aug 1769 -- Signed (with Elizabeth Brown) "The Account of Jacob Brown
& Elisabeth his Wife late Elisabeth Brick Surviving Executrix of the last
Will and Testament of Joseph Brick late of Stow Creek in the County of
Cumberland Deceas'd ..." at "Greenwich August ye 28th 1769 before me,
M. Ewing, Surrogate" [signed by] Jacob Brown Elisabeth Brown14 Jan 1789 -- Jacob Brown, with Uriah Bacon, appraised the goods, chattels,
etc. of Samuel Bowen. "Sworn at Bridgetown Jan'y 14th, 1789 -- Before me
Jonath'n Elmer Surrog. " (Note that the Surrogate had moved from Greenwich
to "Bridgetown".)
Mentioned in the will of her father, Eliakim Carll. w.d. 3-5-1759,
w.p.4-9-1759
Resided Stow Creek, Cumberland Co., NJ.
Will dated 6 Jun 1775, proved 12 Jun 1777.
Will of Hannah (Ware) Fogg was dated 10 Mar 1845 and pr. 24 Feb 1847.
Executors: sons, Samuel Fogg and Edward Fogg.
Witnesses: Mark Bradway, William Pierpont and William Powell.Eliza [(Fogg) Brown] Penton is mentioned in the 10 Mar 1845 will of her grandmother, Hannah (Ware) Fogg wherein she appoints her nephew William Carpenter of Elsinborough, grandson of William and Mary (Powell) Carpenter, to be "trustee of my granddaughter Eliza Penton's share of my real and personal estate while she remains the wife of Abner Penton the whole control of said share and I hereby invest him with full power and authority to rent out her portion of my real estate and pay over to her the yearly profits after the necessary expenses is paid." It would appear that Hannah did not trust the husband of her granddaughter in the handling of her 1/3 share of the estate.
Abner Penton is named as defendant in suits of 1844 and 1845 wherein the guardianship for Eliza F., Ebenezer and Zaccheus Brown [3] -- minor children of Zaccheus J. Brown [2], deceased, and Eliza -- is taken away from Abner and wherein his accounts are ordered to be opened for "fraud and mistake". In the March 1845 Term of the Salem County Orphan's Court exceptions to the accounts were filed (later granted) at which time it was stated that "Abner Penton is not a resident in the State of New Jersey". Perhaps a divorce ensued?

From Marriages & Baptisms in Parish of Magheraclumoney, County Fermanaugh:
An Ezekiel Evans & Rebecca ..... had a child (Jane) baptised 9 Mar 1776,
but Ezekiel married Jane Woods (mother of Samuel) 20 Apr 1775
so this must be (?) a different Ezekiel.
For now we won't claim Jane as a sister of Samuel, but it is possible that
a wife Rebecca would have died in childbirth (Jane) leaving Ezekiel without
a wife to raise Jane. Who knows????
