     The family lived in Fayette Co., the town of Brownsville, Fayette Co., PA. was named after Thomas Brown. I believe that was an Uncle of his, not his grandfather, as the grandfather supposedly died in 1741 and the town was founded in 1785.

Birth     1738, Queen Anne Knolls, Prince George's County, Maryland, USA

Burial     Christ Episcopal Churchyard, Brownsville, Fayette County, Pennsylvania, USA
     Thomas Brown Jr was the founder of Brownsville, Fayette County, Pennsylvania. On his stone indicates that he was the owner. It would be interesting to learn how he managed to 'own' the town. The long standing tombstone in Brownsville attests to his being the founder.
     He fought in the Revolutionary War, in Captain Andrew Swearingen's Company.
     Andrew Swearingen served in the American Revolutionary War in the rank of Captain. He was also a Ranger. He served under Lieutenant Colonel Dit was Thomas Sr, he would have been 70 [too old to march on foot and fight?].
     Assuming it was Thomas Jr, he would have been 40.
     DAR NOTE: Thomas Brown Sr
     DAR line 40233: "Thomas Brown served in the militia of Prince George Co death date of his son, Thomas Brown Jr.
Thomas Jr was a husband to Ruth Brashear. They were intermarried in Talbot, Prince George's County, Maryland.
No marriage date shown on Charles' book, Vol. 4, page 44.

Founder of Brownsville, PA.
     His mother, Ann Brashear, born January 4, 1707, Queen Anne Parish, Maryland, married February 20, 1732, to Thomas [Sr] Brown, son of Joseph Brown and Ann Isaac. Three of their children married Brashear cousins.

-- Ruth b.c.1739

Inscription shown on black and white photo:      Here lies the body of Thomas Brown who once was the owner of this town who departed this life March 8th 1797 Aged 59 years.
     Take a closer look at the black and white photo ~ is it or isn't it shown as AGED 59 "five-nine" YEARS ?? Sadly, many known headstones may still contain incorrect data due to drunkard engraver or sexton. Furthermore, as indicated on Charles' book, Vol. 4, page 51, "aged 59 years"
