Mr. John Turner Allyn and Miss Lucretia L. Brown were united in marriage on January 30, 1873, and were the parents of one child, Mary Seymour Allyn, who was born February 25, 1874, and died October 6, the same year, aged seven months and eleven days. Mrs. Allyn is the youngest daughter of the late Nathan S. and Sarah F. (Browning) Brown, and a grand-daughter of Daniel and Delight (Strickland) Brown, of Waterford, Conn. She now resides with her husband's sister, Mrs. Harriet U. Allyn, above mentioned.

Nathan S. Brown was a farmer of Water-ford and a very prominent citizen of that town. He was active in town affairs, and held many of the important offices, being Justice of the Peace when a very young man, and subsequently Assessor and Selectman. He was born in Waterford on March I, 1811, and was married on September 9, 1835. His wife, Sarah, who was born April 27, 1817, was a daughter of Rouse and Ruth (Morey) Browning. Mr. Browning was the owner of the fine old Browning Beach farm, which is now owned by Ezra J. Hempstead. He was of the sixth generation from Nathaniel Browning, who came from England, and settled in South Kingston, R.I. Nathaniel's great-grandson Ephraim, who was born in 1746 and died in 1826, was the great-grandfather of Mrs. Allyn. He removed from Rhode Island to Waterford, and bought a large tract of land, which was added to by his son Rouse, and which now forms a part of the Browning farm. His wife, whose maiden name was Susanna Davis, died in 1832, at a very advanced age. Rouse Browning was a very prosperous farmer. He was a Baptist in religious faith, very active in the denomination and very benevolent. The land upon which the Quaker Hill Church is built was given by him. His wife, Ruth, who was a native of Stonington, Conn., was the mother of ten children, four sons and six daughters, of whom Sarah, Mrs. Brown, was the eldest. Nathan S. and Sarah F. Brown had a family of three sons and three daughters, all of whom are living except Nathan, the eldest son, who died in 1860, at the age of twenty years. The survivors are: Delia S. Brown, the eldest daughter; Elizabeth C.; and Mrs. Allyn — all residing in New London; Orlando H. Brown, who is in business in Cincinnati, Ohio; and Charles J. Brown, in this city, a well-known business man, who has a family of six sons and a daughter.
