HISTORY OF NOBLE COUNTY, OHIO (977.195    H2h)

Captain John Brown, whose biography appears in Chapter XV, was born in 
Dunfermline, Scotland, in 1818.  At the age of sixteen he enlisted in a 
regiment of Scotch Highlanders, and then received the military education which 
he utilized to such good advantage in after time.  In 1836 he came to this 
country and settled in Poughkeepsie, NY, where he followed his trade, that of 
a linen weaver.  He married in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, a Miss Farlow.  She 
died in Steubenville, Ohio.  In St. Clairsville, he made the acquaintance of 
Miss Matilda McConnell, a native of that village, whom he married for his 
second wife.  About 1852, he came to Noble County and purchased a farm near 
Summerfield.  In 1862, he joined the Ninety-second Ohio Volunteer Infantry, 
and upon its organization was commissioned first lieutenant.  June following, 
he was promoted to a captaincy.  At the battle of Chickamauga he was severely 
wounded in the foot and died in Nashville, Tennessee, October 5, 1863.  Had he 
lived, he would have distinguished himself.  He was brave to rashness, and one 
of the most thoroughly drilled officers in the service.
