JACKSON BROWN, a farmer of Yolo County, was born in Otsego County, New York,
August 8, 1828. His parents, Amos and Eliza (Tubbs) Brown, were natives of the
same county. His father died in New York, after which his mother moved to
Minnesota, where she died at an advanced age. Jackson Brown came to California
in 1854 via the Nicaragua route and landed in San Francisco May 4. From there he
came directly to Yolo County, where he engaged in farming; he owns 480 acres of
land, all under cultivation. He devotes his attention exclusively to grain and
stock raising.

  He was married, April 12, 1852, to Miss Anna Eliza Hubbard, a native of Otsego
County, New York. She came to California in 1856, having remained in New York
the first two years that her husband was in California. She died in 1858,
leaving two children, a son and a daughter. Robert S., the eldest, is married
and lives on his father's farm, with whom his father makes his home. Anna Eliza,
the daughter, was married to Edward Broad. They reside in Sacramento.
