    1. BROWN/PRINGLE
    2. Hello, In light of Ella Spooner's books and many others written about Tabitha Brown & her family there's probably not too much more to learn. But, I thought I'd join this list for a while. Tabitha Brown is my husband's third great grandmother---his branch of the family pronounces her name Ta bi' tha--accent on the second syllable. Other branches pronounce Tabitha in the more conventional manner. We had a grand time at the Brimfield (Mass.) Public Library several years ago. They have many of Clark Brown's original documents. We gave their copier quite a workout!!! Another trip took us to Wayside, MD, to visit Clark's last church. When the church floor was replaced during the 80's there was no evidence of the Rev.Clark Brown's burial beneath the altar area. We no longer go to the reunions at Pacific Univ.---there are rarely more than 20 people attending anymore. Seems it should be much more of an event. During the 80's there seemed to be many more families. If anyone has discovered any new info about Tabitha's life & family, Bruce would be very interested. We will be glad to help others with some questions or, at least, refer you to the many books that discuss Tabitha and her family. Regards, Bruce & Marla Brown Oregon
