General Notes: Husband - Oliver Hazard Perry Brown

---

He learned the boat building trade, which he followed for many years, and after accumulating wealth, he moved to Raccoon township, Beaver County, Pennsylvania, where he began the life of a farmer. This latter occupation he continued for eighteen months, and then returned to boat building, settling at Freedom, Pennsylvania. He built three large boats; the first was named "Commodore Perry," which was at that time the best boat on the river; the second was "Parthenia;" and the third was known as "Hardtimes," which, singularly, earned more money than any boat which plied the river at that time. The latter vessel was used in conveying cotton from the valley of the Chattahoochee River to Apalachicola Bay. In 1865, he gave up boating, and, in 1866, he bought property of J. Ranson, on the corner of Vermont and West Adams streets, Rochester, Pennsylvania. There he resided until his death.
He was one of the founders of the banking house of John Conway & Co., in 1871; he was a charter member of the Rochester Heat & Light Company, and one of its directors until his death.
