Benjamin Brown, b. in Middle Island, Sept 25, 1784; drowned with ten other men off Old Inlet opposite Bellport, Nov. 5, 1813. This inlet through the Great South Beach, was then known as "New Inlet" and "Smiths Inlet" and has been closed for over a hundred years. His body was recovered and buried in Fire Place and later moved to the Bellport Cemetery.

4. Dorothy (Dolly), b. Dec 6, 1812; d. of consumption, May 25, 1834.
* This account is ambiguous. Note that just previous it was indicated that Hannah Kinge was his wife, daughter of William and Dorothy Kinge. Perhaps these are typographical errors. No source has been found that indicates that he had a second wife, Dorothy.
** The John Tutthill to whom Richard entrusted his family and estate was not the John Tutthill described here, but rather a neighbor and friend, John Tutthill [i]; this John's wife Deliverance Kinge was a sibling to Hannah Kinge, Richard's wife. A John Tutthill does marry into the family, marrying Richard's granddaughter Elizabeth by his son Jonathan. This John Tutthill [iii] was John Tutthill's [i] grandson.
