<p>Brown was orphaned at the age of two. At age nine, she began living with a relative who ran a county jail. There, says her son,</p>
|
|
<blockquote><p>…were years of intense and cruel suffering. The tale of her early life, which she has left her children, is a narrative of such deprivations, cruel treatment, and toil, as it breaks my heart to read.</p></blockquote>
|
|
<p>At age 18, kind people sent her to school at Claverack, New York, where she learned to write, and converted to Christ. In 1805, she married Timothy H. Brown, a painter, and subsequently lived at East Windsor and Ellington, Connecticut; Monison, Massachusetts; and Marshall, Illinois.</p>
|
|
<p>Most of her hymns were written at Monison, Massachusetts. Through a life of poverty and trial she was a “most devoted mother, wife, and Christian.” Her son, the Rev. S.R. Brown, became the first American missionary to Japan, and two of her grandchildren followed in his footsteps.</p>
