General Notes: Husband - John Brown

---

His early life was passed upon his father's farm. His opportunities for early education were limited, being confined to the common schools. The little learning he gathered there was supplemented by extensive reading in after-years. His father died in 1823, and the management of the farm devolved upon him. He proved himself a successful manager, and although a liberal giver to all benevolent causes, he added largely to what he inherited from his father.
He held the office of justice of the peace for a number of years. He was a man of peace, rarely charged anything for his services, and always counseled an amicable settlement of difficulties between neighbors. He was for many years an active member and liberal supporter of the Rehoboth Presbyterian Church. His family were all members of the same communion.

After his marriage he took up his residence on the home farm, carrying on general farming, fruit and stock raising. A Democrat in politics, he took a great interest in the political affairs of the town and county.
