| | Capt. Henry Stevenson Brown, Pioneer |
 | | His son, Col. Edward Brown, (an officer in the Maryland line in the Revolutionary War) was born on Pipe Creek, Carroll county, Maryland, on the 16th of September, 1734; married Margaret Durbin, a maiden; of rare beauty and intellectual gifts, and a woman beloved for her uniform kindness of heart. |
 | | Brown had the noble examples of both his parental and maternal ancestors, to act as incentive for future greatness, as both his grand-fathers were officers in the Revolution of 1776. |
 | | Captain Brown was a true pioneer in the nobility and magnanimity of his nature; unselfish and generous, one who rejoices in the preventing and despised the stirring up of personal strife among men. |
