John Nathan's Story — The Thomas and Hannah (Pittinger) Brown Family of Foxville, Maryland

John Nathan Brown

John Nathan Brown was born to Thomas and Hannah Brown on January 4, 1780, in Creagerstown, Maryland. At age 10, on April 4, 1790, he was baptized at St. John’s Evangelical Lutheran Church in Creagerstown along with his 6-year-old sister Catharine Dorothea. The record (see under Hannah’s Story) shows his name as “John Nasan” and lists his parents and that he was sponsored by “Hanna, the mother.” Thomas Brown is presumed to have died between 1786 and 1789.

Nine years late, in June of 1799, he married Mary Nancy Buhrman at the St. John’s Evangelical Lutheran Church in Hagerstown, Maryland. The records show their names as “Joh. Braun – Nanzi Porman.” After Nancy died, he married Elizabeth “Betsy” Smith on November 11, 1814. His children from both marriages were John Quincy Adams, b. 1800; William David “Cricket Bill”, b. 1803; Elizabeth, b. 1807; Lydia Ann, b. 1819; Henry, b. 1821; Levi, b. 1823; Daniel, b. 1825; Mary Magdalena, b. 1826; and Levina, b. 1832.

Tradition has it that John Nathan Brown lived on what was later known as the John Stottlemeyer place and even later as the Glen Delauter place where his son Henry Brown eventually lived. It may have been across from Mt. Moriah Lutheran Church. A number of his land deals have been reported. In 1803 he supposedly paid $800 for the deed for 100 acres of “Resurvey on Small Beginning” from George Hospelhorn. In 1804 he acquired “Addition to Lemmons Vineyard” from George Cooke that he later sold to his brother-in-law Jacob Poorman (Buhrman), Sr. In 1811 he bought more acreage from the earlier “Resurvey on Small Beginning.” In 1818 he received the deed for “Deer Park and Addition” from George Ellicott. He also had other land deals (see his will, later).

In 1821 he with his brothers signed the school subscription document for the education of his children at Henry Buhrman’s school. And as it regards children, there were plenty to work the many farms and to continue this branch of the family.

His eldest son, John Quincy Adams Brown, married Mary Ann Stevenson. He was a chair maker. They had seven children, two of whom were also named for presidents: William Henry Harrison Brown and Allen Zachary Taylor Brown. In the fall of 1863, after the Battle of Gettysburg in July of that year, John Quincy Adams and his wife and son Allen Zachary Taylor, age 14, all succumbed to typhoid fever.

The second son, William David Brown, was known as “Cricket Bill,” although no one seems to know why he was given that moniker. In 1850 the U.S. Census shows him as living on a farm in District 10, Frederick County. He married Mary (Polly) Toms and they had 10 children. His son Ezra Brown married Drusilla Olive Smith and she bore him 16 children. She died at the age of 42 of typhoid fever and is buried with several of her children in the Mt. Bethel Church Cemetery in Garfield, Maryland. Their oldest son David Columbus Brown had 15 children. Cricket Bill’s daughter Hannah Catherine Brown married David Obadiah (“Bedie”) Lewis and they had 11 children. Cricket Bill and David Columbus Brown were farmers, as was Bedie Lewis. Ezra Brown ran a general merchandise store and he also later farmed. He was involved in a long-running feud with his neighbor Harvey Buhrman, who was a physician who had served as a surgeon in the 7th and 11th Maryland Infantry during the Civil War and also Ezra’s second cousin (see Family Stories).

“Cricket Bill” and his wife Mary are buried at a small Brown Family graveyard on the farm of Paul Gilroy. He died on April 10, 1868, aged 61y, 11m, and 13 d. The inscription reads:

Farewell my children

From you a father Christ doth call.

Mourn not for me.

It is in vain to call me to your sight again.

His wife Mary had died two years earlier and her inscription reads:

Diseases long I did endure and pains did wreck my frame

Until at last Christ’s summon sure relieved me from my pains

Don’t you hear them singing children

Listen to the music swell

Now I hear you loving children

God be with you

Fare you well.

The estate sale was listed in the Hagerstown Mail on February 12, 1869, administered by his son Ezra.

**William D. “Cricket Bill” Brown’s estate sale advertised February 20, 1869 by his son**

Henry Brown, the third son, in 1850 had $900 worth of real estate and by 1870 this had grown to $2000 worth of property. This might have been the farm across from Mt. Moriah Lutheran Church. He married Mary Toms and in 1870 three daughters are listed with their parents. They had eight children. Many of their grandchildren are buried in the Mt. Moriah Church cemetery as infants. His daughter Selena lost at least six babies and his daughter Florence Virginia Brown Himes lost 10, although eight of her children did survive. Typhoid was rampant during the late 1860’s and 1870’s and probably the cause of a lot of this sorrow.

Levi Brown, the fourth son, in 1850 on the U.S. Census is listed as a laborer and living with his widowed mother and younger sister Levina. But in 1852 he married Mary Manahan and they were blessed with nine children. Daniel, the fourth son, married Sarah Ann Manahan and they had 11 children.

Of John Nathan’s daughters, Elizabeth married Dennis Manahan; Lydia Ann married Henry Manahan; Mary Magdalena married Abraham Comfort; and Levina never married.

John Nathan Brown died in 1840 or in early January 1841. From the Equity Court Abstracts HS-6 from Frederick County, Maryland, 503-519, dated November 1841, his estate listing gives the following information:

Land – “Deer Park", 49 acres, from George Ellicott and w/ Elizabeth of Baltimore County in 1818, on south side of Caspar Creek in Catoctin Mountain; also "Addition to Deer Park", 104 acres; adjoins "Resurvey on Israel's Lot", "Naughts Never in Danger" and "Sweep Stakes." Property is located 3 miles from Harbaugh's Valley and 2 miles from David Wolfe's tavern and adjoins lands of Daniel Buhrman and Abraham Toms Sr. There are 2 log houses, a log barn and other outbuildings, orchard of apple and peach trees and spring of good water near each house; total lands are 1531/2 acres.

In a court filing in November of 1841, Magdalena and husband Abraham Comfort attest that they sold their interests to her brother Henry Brown. On February 5, 1842, testimony was heard at the house of George P. Fox from William Toms who declared that he was acquainted with the family. Guardianship of the three minor children Daniel, Levi, and Levina was granted to their widowed mother Elizabeth; William D. Brown was appointed trustee of the estate. On March 5, 1842, sale was made to Henry Brown for the large tract at $1,025.11; to Daniel Buhrman for 27 acres at $302.50; and to Elizabeth Brown for 16+ acres at $163.87. On April, 25, 1842, the widow stated she was 50 years old and afflicted with rheumatism; she was allowed 2/17 share. Distributions were as follows: widow, $161.87; each heir 1/9 share, $134.89. The estate was closed May 12, 1849.

John Nathan Brown’s burial site is not known. Both of his wives are buried in Mt. Moriah Lutheran Church Cemetery, and family lore states that he was buried by the tree line there, but there is no marker.
