Research and information for the Stephen BROWN Family courtesy of David Randolph BROWN, Palo Alto, CA. He is the author of "Brown and Burger Family Letters: 1812 - 1907". He is the grandson of Walter BROWN, brother of Herbert Cutway BROWN, my great grandfather. Apparently, Walter was "dis-owned" by the rest of the family after he was convicted in 1904 of violations of the National Banking Act and served time in Leavenworth Federal Penitentiary. A connection between the two families was made in 1994 when David R. BROWN contacted me via Rosalie [BROWN] HOUSEL and our family histories were exchanged.
In Holden's Triennial Directory, 1805/1806/1807, Stephen BROWN is described as carpenter and joiner. In the 1809/1810/1811 directory, his name is followed by "timber & coal yard, Vauxhall", a business that he operated from 1809 to 1811 with James Francis.
