From Jacobus’ Bulkeley Genealogy:6
“Daniel Brown, M.A. (Yale College, 1714), appears to have been the assistant of Samuel Cooke, the Rector of Hopkins Grammar School, in 1715, and at the end of the year succeeded him in that position, in which he continued until appointed tutor in the college in Sept. 1718. He at once entered on his new duties, his senior colleague for the first year being his classmate and intimate friend, Samuel Johnson. In 1719 Johnson retired, and for the next three years the instruction was in the hands of Rector Cutler and Mr. Brown.
“The studies pursued by Cutler, Brown, Johnson, and a few others, in the books lately added to the College Library, brought them to the public declaration, 13 Sept. 1722, of their doubts of the validity of Presbyterian ordination. As Brown stood firm in his avowal of Episcopal doctrines, the resignation of his tutorship was accepted, 17 Oct., and on 5 Nov. he sailed from Bostou, with Cutler and Johnson, to obtain orders in Engiand. They arrived in the Thames on 15 Dec., and after spending the winter in London were ordained Deacons, 22 Mar. 1723, in the parish church of St. Martin-in-the-Fields; on the 31st of the month they were advanced to the priesthood. Cutler had just recovered from the small-pox, and on 4 Apr. Brown fell sick of the same malady. He died on the 13th, and was buried in the church of St. Dunstan-in-the-West. Johnson in his diary exclaims: ‘I have lost the best friend in the world,—a fine scholar, and a brave Christian.’ He was unmarried. President Stiles, writing in 1765 of Cutler, Johnson, Wetmore, and Brown, says of the last, ‘he was a gentleman of the most superior sense and learning of the four.’ His friend Johnson became the first Episcopal clergyman in Conn., and later the first President of King's (now Columbia) College. (Yale Biographies, I. 118.)”

From Jacobus’s Bulkeley Genealogy:6
“Isaac Brown, M.A., (Yale College, 1729), studied theology under his brother's classmate and friend, Rev. Samuel Johnson of Stratford; who mentioned him to the Secretary of the Society for Propagating the Gospel in 1731 as ‘a virtuous and discreet young man and of good abilities,’ who had lately gone to reside (on Johnson's recommendation) at the village of Setauket, in Brookhaven, L. I., to serve as schoolmaster and reader in the small Episcopal congregation there. He crossed the ocean in the summer of 1733, to take orders. During his sojourn in London he signed as a witness Dean Berkeley's deed of gift of his Whitehall farm to Yale College; and having received orders as Deacon and Priest, he was appointed Missionary to Brookhaven.
“In 1744 he was transferred to the mission at Newark, N. J., on a salary of £50; he did not actually remove until 1747, and he continued in Newark until the outbreak of the American Revolution. Besides his clerical duties, he was extensively employed as a physician, but not to the entire satisfaction of his parish, as appears by some correspondence which ensued on his being allowed by the Venerable Society in 1768 to exchange his mission for that at Perth Amboy. The latter congregation refused to receive him, on the ground that his medical practice had been a fruitful source of contention with his parishioners through the bills rendered by him in that capacity. He was elected a member of the N. J. Medical Society at its second meeting in 1766.
“In 1776 he took refuge within the British lines in New York City, and after the declaration of peace went in 1783 to Annapolis, Nova Scotia. The voyage was a tempestuous one, resulting in the loss of most of his goods; his infirm wife was rendered delirious by the roughness of the passage. His age and feebleness prevented his undertaking any regular pastoral service, but the Venerable Society allowed him a pension of £50 a year, which was almost his sole dependence. He died in the midst of poverty and affliction.
“He and his sons Samuel and Daniel-Isaac all three received honorary degrees from Columbia College in 1758.”

Isaac married Elizabeth.
