Son of Isaac H.Brown (1806 in TN -1892 in Sherrill, Texas Co., Mo) and Mary Ann Mooney (DNA). The "H" is still being verified. Only one son had the name - much later in life - "Hairie." It was, however, a not uncommon name and several other Isaac H. Brown's are found in the 19th century across the U.S.

He married #1 Martha Ann WOMACK and all children were from this union (CW Pension file). Ptolema Philadelphus Brown (son of Isaac H. Brown and Mary Brown) was born August 30, 1829 in Warren County, TN, and died November 02, 1903 in St. James, MO. He married Martha Ann Womack on February 07, 1850 in Warren County, TN, daughter of Burgess Harrelson Womack and Sarah Webb (DNA verified).
Family legend states he was strongly and vocally opposed to slavery and that placed him in direct opposition to his wife's family and led to a disenfranchisement of them with her family.

He served in the Civil War while living in northern Arkansas and may have been a scout. He often went "Adolphus or Dolphus" at the time. It is said in a letter that the Confederates has a rope ready if they ever caught him.

After her death, he remarried two widows who were sisters (#2, #3, Joanna Martin and Mary Taylor Martin. They had married brothers at one time. He was a member of the Grand Army of the Republic (G.A.R.) based on a photo with their medal on his chest.

During the Civil War, based on a letter he wrote later in life, he served in the Boston Mountains, Washington, Arkansas : Co. L 1st Reg. Ark Cav - spied for Willhite and Gillstraps.

Between 1879-1886 he wrote periodically for the New Era newspaper of local events and his own opinions of politics and whatever else struck his fancy.
