Kentucky: A History of the State, Battle, Perrin, & Kniffin, 1887,
Unknown Co.

JOHN C. BROWN, the noted stockman of Kentucky, is a son of A. C. and
Elizabeth (Huston) Brown.  A. C. represented this county in the Legislature
one term.  He died July 15, 1881.  Our subject and his brother, Sam, are
partners in the stock business.  Sam makes his headquarters in New York
City and Philadelphia, and John C. buys cattle all over Kentucky, Indiana
and Tennessee, and ships same to Sam, who disposes of them.  Both gentlemen
were educated in the best schools.  They are very successful traders, and
their success is due to their stanch adherence to principle, their energy,
accuracy and thorough performance of every duty.  They are generous,
unselfish and thoroughly amiable in disposition.  Both are members of the
Masonic fraternity, and both are unmarried.  John C. and his mother reside
on the old homestead of about 400 acres.
