  Father	Knight Brown,   b. Abt 1745, Randolph, Norfolk, Massachusetts, United States d. 25 Apr 1832, East Bridgewater, Plymouth, Massachusetts, United States (Age ~ 87 years)
  Mother	Priscilla Beals,   b. 21 Nov 1746, Hingham, Plymouth, Massachusetts, United States d. 5 Sep 1838 (Age 91 years)
  Marriage Banns	15 Dec 1770	Scituate, Plymouth, Massachusetts, United States   [11]
  	Lists Priscilla as Mrs Priscilla Beals, which would indicate she is a widow. Knight is listed as Mr. Knight Brown, while other men are not listed that way. He may have had a previous marriage as well.
  Marriage	17 Jan 1771	Scituate, Plymouth, Massachusetts, United States   [12, 13]
  	In the Massachusetts, Compiled Marriages, Priscilla is listed as Mrs. Priscilla Beals. This seems to imply to me that she may have been married previously. One record records a child of Knight Brown and Lydia Beals. Perhaps she was his first wife.
