Son of John Brown and Mary Martha Isles.

In 1910, George S. Brown, aged 9, was living on Nottingham Avenue, Brookhaven, NY, in the home of his parents, John Brown, aged 39, no occupation, and Martha Brown, aged 38, with siblings, John D. Brown, aged 10, Gladys Brown, aged 6, Rachel Brown, aged 4, Alace Brown, aged 1. and Albert Brown, aged 5 months.

Letter from Stanley Brown, Fort Totten, NY, October 26, 1918 - "Dear Friend: I suppose you are anxious to hear some news from the local boys who are at this post. We arrived here about noon on Wednesday and have been busy ever since. We have not received any uniforms as our physical examination is not yet completed. The weather has been fine up to date and everybody appears to be in good health. The barracks in which we are quartered are built of brick and have all the modern improvements, such as electric lights, steam heat, hot and cold shower baths, and stationary tubs. The last named improvement makes every soldier boy his own laundryman. The view from the parade grounds is magnificent. We are almost entirely surrounded by water so we have a poor chance of being A.W.O.L. I have seen several large steamers passing the Fort on their way to the Sound. John Rightmire, Myron Wells, Carleton Downs, and myself are all quartered in the same room. All of the local boys seem to be happy and willing to make any sacrifice to trim "Kaiser Bill." The officers, both commissioned and non-commissioned are regular army men who have been through the mill. I will close for now as I hear the call for mess. Your soldier friend, G. Stanley Brown."

In 1920, George S. Brown, aged 18, born in New Jersey, a machine helper for a lumber mill, was living on Nottingham Avenue, West Patchogue, Brookhaven, New York in the home of his mother, Martha Brown, aged 50, a widow, born in England, and siblings, John Brown, aged 20, a bookkeeper for an oil company, Gladys M. Brown, aged 15, who did tickering(?) for the lace mill, Rachel L. Brown, aged 13, Alice G. Brown, aged 12, and Albert F. Brown, aged 11, all born in New Jersey.

On February 14, 1942, George Stanley Brown, aged 40, registered for the draft during World War II, stating that; he resided at 29 Jennings Avenue, Patchogue, New York; was born August 6, 1901 in Keyport, New Jersey; was self-employed in the carting business in Patchogue, New York; and gave the name of Albert Brown, of 51 Lakewood St., Patchogue, New York, as the person who would always know his address. He was described as being 5'11" tall, 170 lbs., with brown eyes, brown hair, and a light complexion.
