Ignatius Brown (1768-1834) OBITUARY Judge Brown was born in the province, now State of Maryland, in the year 1768 and brought to the west in early infancy by his parents, who settled in Brownsville on the Monongehala river, where and in the vicinity of which, he was educated and resided until manhood and marriage: After which he removed to the State of Kentucky, where he remained some years. He afterwards settled in the town of Deerfield: from thence he removed to Lebanon. Where and in the neighborhood thereof, he continued to the day of his death. Shortly after his removal to the west side of Ohio, he was appointed by Gov. St. Clair a Justice of the Peace and Judge of the quarter Sessions for the then large county of Hamilton. When we became a separate county he was, by the first Ohio Legislature, appointed Associate Judge, which office he has, by repeated re appointments held nearly the whole time since. Few men have lived to see the great change in the western country that has been seen by Judge Brown. When his parents settled in Brownsville, (as it has since been named from his ancestors) it was a small British garrison as a kind of out post to Fort Pitt (now Pittsburg,) where a regiment was stationed. The whole western country from the Alleghany to the Rocky Mountains was then an unbroken wilderness with the exception of Redstone fort (near Brownsville) & Fort Pitt. Kentucky itself was then, and several years afterwards, without a single white inhabitant. He has lived to see the dense forests of Ohio, Indiana and Illinois felled by the enterprising hands of the hardy pioneers and in their stead spring up the populous States, Cities, Towns and Villages of the west. With what credit he discharged the duties of the various offices he held, is perhaps best illustrated by referring to his repeated appointments and these emanating from different sources – Executive and Legislative. He has left a family of children and grand children to feel and lament his loss: besides numerous friends and acquaintances which a long residence, an unassuming demeanor, and almost constant official intercourse had drawn around him.
