Colonel James M. Brown, 100th NYSV. Born Nov. 24, 1825, in
Dundee, Scotland.
Studying medicine at Glasgow for a time, he emigrated to the US
around 1844 and
settled in New Orleans. He was an assistant army surgeon during
the Mexican War;
mustered out at Mackinac, Michigan. Admitted to the Michigan bar
during 1851, he
married a woman from Argyle, NY, in January of the following
year. In 1853, he
became a partner in a Chautauqua County law firm with Madison
Burnell and John F.
Smith. Commissioned as captain of Company B, 72d NYSV, he
resigned that post
November 5, 1861, in order to accept the colonelcy of the 100th
NYSV. Col. Brown
was killed May 31, 1862, at the Battle of Seven Pines outside of

Hill. Brown's body was never recovered.
