     MOSES BROWN, owner of a farm of 50 acres, in the town of Rye,
which is operated by his son, was born in this town, March 23, 1835. His
parents were Daniel and Sarah Ann (Garland) Brown, the father a farmer.
They had two children only, Charles W. and Moses.
     Moses Brown was educated in the common schools of Rye and his life
since boyhood has been devoted to agricultural pursuits. He is now prac-
tically retired, his son looking after the farm, as above stated. Mr. Brown
was married in 1869 to Henrietta G. Garland, who was born in North Hamp-
ton, Rockingham County, N. H., a daughter of Calvin and Elizabeth (Spead)
Garland, her father being a native of North Hampton and her mother of
Durham, N. H. Of their children there are only two now living, Charles 
W., who resides in Oklahoma, and Henrietta, wife of the subject of this
sketch. Mr. and Mrs. Brown have had children as follows: Sarah Alice,
who married Frank Graves and is now deceased; Martha, wife of Frank
Boyce; Daniel Warren, John Wesley, Charles Thompson and Harrison G.
Daniel was educated in the high school and Harrison went to Baldwin Col-
lege in Ohio.
     John Wesley Brown graduated from the Massachusetts Institute of Tech-
nology at Boston, Mass., making such a fine record that that famous institu-
tion paid his expenses to Germany, where he studied for a time at Heidel-
berg University. He is now engaged in the chemical business at Cleveland,
Ohio. Mr. Brown is a republican in politics and is affiliated religiously with
the Christian Baptist church. He is one of the old time citizens of Rye and
it would be hard to find anyone better known or more generally respected.
