Robert R Brown was born in New York in the early 1830s to parents from Ireland. His possible birth date is unclear as his birth date varies in public records by as many as 4 years. He first appears in the 1850 census at 12 years old, living with the family of William McMahan, a farmer also born in Ireland, in Castle Township, Coshocton Co, Ohio.
He was an educator at an early age: Principal of the Ewington Academy in Gallia County, Ohio in 1858, Superintendent of the Jackson Academy in Jackson County, Ohio, and later Professor of Natural History at Illinois Weslyan University, Bloomington, from 1875-1879.
He married Mary Ann (Molly) Morrison in Belmont Co, Ohio on Feb. 2, 1865. They had one daughter, Molly Adelia Brown born November 23, 1866 in Ohio. Mary Ann Morrison died 10 days after the birth of Molly in Chillicothe Co, Ohio on December 2, 1866 and is buried in St Clairsvillle, Belmont Co, Ohio. On April 28, 1868 Robert R. married Melissa A. Crow of Pickaway Co, Ohio, daughter of David and Elizabeth Connelly Crow, in Logan Co., Illinois.
Between Sept. and December, 1885 the family moved to Los Angeles, California where he worked in business and real estate until his death on October 5, 1893 at his residence, 747 S. Main St. He was 61 years old according to his death notice. He was 6 feet tall, with a light complexion, blue eyes and grayish hair. I welcome any additional details about his life.
