Col. Hugh Brown, son of Hugh Brown and Mary Buie, married Catherine Fort. He served in the Revolutionary War and the North Carolina General Assembly (1800-1814), after which he moved to Maury County Tennessee. Several letters written by Col. Hugh Brown's son, John Brown, to William H. Brown, son of Neill Brown (Robeson County, North Carolina) his cousin, give rich family insight into the life of Col. Hugh Brown and his impact on the community in Maury County, Tennessee. The first letter is regarding the death of Catherine Fort Brown in 1838. The second letter is regarding the death of Col. Hugh Brown in 1851. And the last document is an obituary and tribute of respect to the life of Col. Hugh Brown. |
