General Notes: Husband - Thomas J. Brown
He came to Sandy Lake, Pennsylvania, in 1805, and in 1808 removed to Mercer. In 1818 or 1819 he was elected captain of a militia company, and subsequently was elected captain of an artillery company. In 1821 he located on Sandy Creek, near Sandy Lake, where he subsequently laid out the town of Browns-ville. He was the first postmaster of this town and erected woolen-mills, flax seed oil-mills, flouring-mills, turning lathes and manufactured lum-ber. In all of these he was assisted by his brother, James F. Brown. He was also engaged extensively in merchandising. In 1840 he was appointed a justice of the peace to fill a vacancy, and was elected to the same in 1845. In 1855 he was appointed associate judge to fill a vacancy, and was elected to that office in 1856. He was appointed justice of the peace in 1875 and elected in 1876, and re-elected in 1881, and filled the office up to the time of his death. [HMC 1888, 1045]
