DAVID BROWN was born February 5, 1819, near Shelbyville, Shelby County. He is the only son 
of Demarcus Brown, of Virginia, who came to Kentucky in 1798, locating in Henry County, 
and after living there a few years moving to Shelby County. He married Sarah Banta, of 
New Jersey, who came to Kentucky before marriage. Our subject's grandfather was Barnabas
