THOMAS J. BROWN is the eldest child of George W. and Susanna (Wright) Brown,
a native of Kentucky, and was born November 18, 1837.  Mr. and Mrs. Brown
were respectively of Irish and German extraction, and both natives of
Kentucky.  After living on a farm until 1842, they moved from the State of
their nativity to this State, and township, and here entered land for a
home.  In 1865, they removed to where the former yet lives, his wife having
died some years before.  Thomas J. Brown attended the township schools and
remained at home, having almost the entire support of the family, until his
twenty-third year, his father having long been unable to labor.  In 1859, he
married Mrs.Cynthia A. McNeely, a native of Kentucky, after which events he
moved to the farm owned by his wife, where they still reside, and to which
he has added 200 acres, making an aggregate of 440 acres, one of the best
farms in the township.  In connection with agriculture, Mr. Brown has had a
country store for about two years.  Mr. Brown is a life-long Democrat, a
worthy citizen, and, with his wife, a member of the Christian Church.
