Notes - John Brown was a logger who came from upper Canada and settled the Greenborough section of Redfield Township in the early 1800s.
John ran a store for a time in Littlejohn settlement for land speculator Dewitt Littlejohn. Oswego native Littlejohn was a board member of the Ontario & Western Railroad and served as New York State Assemblyman. When Littlejohn's finances turned sour so did the affairs of the Brown family. John left the area for a time to find work elsewhere and the family split variously to find work in the surrounding cities. John himself was a shoemaker by trade.
Two photos of the family are known to exist, one a formal photo taken in the 1880s shows the entire family, another taken in front of the family house shows all the children in later years, with Amanda's photo inset.
