James is the Son of James Brown and Dorcas Low of Glouster, MA. His father died when James was young and his mother ran a boarding house on Fish Street in Boston. She married Truman F. Mayhew and had other children.
James was a tinsmith in New Bedford, MA. He came to Milford around 1853, with his future son -in -law, Solomon Matthews. They started a tinsmith shop selling Stoves, Tin Ware, etc. Brown and Matthews started the first cannery in Milford in 1857. It closed in 1860.
In 1859, Solomon ran off with James' daughter, Isabella Brown they married on January 27th of that year in New York City.
