General Notes: Husband - Thomas J. Brown
He came to Sandy Lake, PA, 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 Brownsville. He was the first postmaster of this town and erected woolen-mills, flax seed oil-mills, flouring-mills, turning lathes and manufactured lumber. In all of these he was assisted by his brother, James F. 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]
