General Notes: Husband - Stephen O. Brown


He fell heir to one half the large tract which his father owned; on this land he built a house, on the road leading through the valley from Fort Loudon to Concord, Franklin County, Pennsylvania, and there lived all his days.
He was six feet in height, weighed about 175 pounds, hair brown, eyes blue. In his prime he was a man of strength, with fine physical and muscular build, a large, well molded head and a strong face. He was a reader and well informed on all subjects, and a fine conversationalist. He was a Presbyterian, and for many years held the office of trustee in the church. He was a Whig in politics, but never sought nor held office, more than school director of his township. By economy, industry and good judgment he accumulated quite a large fortune.
