DAVID BROWN (deceased), was born in Warren County, Ohio, Aug. 23, 1809, and was a son of Asa Brown, who came from New Jersey and settled in Warren Co., in a very early day, where they lived until their death. David was brought up a farmer, an occupation he followed during his life. Sept. 22, 1830, he was married to Mary, daughter of William L. and Ephenetas Foster. They were also from New Jersey, and settled in Warren Co., about 1801. They lived and died here. William L. Foster had fourteen children, four of whom are living, viz., John S., Ephenetas Hamp son, Charlotte Huston and Mary Brown. The deceased are William, George, Ralph, Ellen Nancy, Margaret, Nancy, Catherine, Catherine and Rhoda. After Mr. Brown was married, he lived on rented land for some years, but he eventually purchased 89 acres of land, where his widow now resides; he started in life without any capital, and by his hard work, in which he was nobly assisted by his estimable wife, succeeded, after years of toil, in making a good home; he was a man beloved by all, and his death was regretted by a host of warm and personal friends. By his death his wife lost a kind husband and his children an affectionate father, whose memory will ever cling to them as an indulgent and loving parent; he died Aug. 25, 1881. To him were born eight children, four living, viz., Ephenetas Dunham, Jefferson H., Sarah A. Perrine and Mary Keever. The deceased are William, David, William and Eura E. Hutchinson. William, the eldest son, was killed by a horse, at the age of 11 years. William, the 2d, died from lockjaw, caused by a harrow tooth wound in the foot, aged 11 years. Eura E. also died from the same cause, aged 26 years.
