General Notes: Husband - Mansfield Banton Brown

---

On account of ill health, his father, in 1842, purchased from Col. Ross 240 acres of land on Chartiers creek, five miles west of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. It was mainly through his efforts that the Temperanceville and Noblestown plank-road was laid out and built, he being president and spending a large amount of money on it. In 1851 he laid out the present borough of Mansfield, calling it after himself. He was always closely identified with all its interests until his death.

Six children were born to him and his wife, five of whom were still living in 1889.
