Biography
John N. Brown appeared in the 1830 US Census in Cumberland, Greene County, Pennsylvania. [1] In his household there was one male under five (Andrew?), one male between 30 and 40 (himself), two females under five (Anna Adelia and Ellen Jane), one female between 5 and 10, and one female between 20 and 30 (Rachel). [1]
His will was written on 26 September 1837. [2] In his will he mentions, "I John N. Brown of the borough of Waynesburg in the County of Greene & State of Penn", "my wife Mary Brown", "my first wife Rachel", "my two eldest girls Ann Adelia & Ellen Jane", and "my son Andrew".
In a supplement added 28 September 1837 he mentioned "my mother in law Mrs. Rhoda Buchanan". [2]
On 13 June 1840 he was mentioned in the Greene County Orphans' Court dockets. [3] He was referred to as "Dr. John N. Brown". [3]
Research Notes
- In 1830 he was between 30 and 39, so he was born sometime between 1791 and 1800.
- On 10 November 1826, there was a deed from Thomas Lucas Esq. and Patty of Cumberland to John Nugent Brown, also of Cumberland Township in Greene County.[4] I'm not sure if this John N. Brown is the same man. He got two pieces of land in the town of Lisburn, number 64 and 65. [4] The surrounding streets for 64 are Public Avenue and George Street. [4] 65 is near Market Street. [4]
