He had command of a company of volun- teers at the surrender of Burgoyne, and on his way back to Boston from the north the company camped on his farm in Westboro, and he entertained the officers. A curious coincidence followed this camp. A Hessian prisoner was so struck with the beauty of the farm that he made a map of it for the pur- pose of claiming it in case the British arms were successful as he expected of course they would be. This map was recognized by an American traveling in Germany in 1800. It was hanging on the wall of a tavern, and the owner of the map was still waiting for the farm.

LUTHER J. BROWN. There is a tradition in the family of Luther J. Brown, of Fitchburg, that the immigrant ancester was Peter Brown, who came over in the "Mayflower." There was some con- nection with the family of John Brown, the martyr, who was descended from Peter Brown through his son Peter, who settled in Connecticut. If the New Hampshire Browns from whom Luther J. Brown descended came from Connecticut where many of the settlers did, the relationship may be established. (I) John Brown, the great-grandfather of Luther J. Brown, settled in Packersfield, New Hampshire, before the revolution. He was a select- man of that town in 1778 and 1780. Packersfield was granted first by the Masonian proprietors as Monadnock, No. 6, and was named for Thomas Packer, a prominent man of Portsmouth. The name was changed to Nelson, October 1, 1814. This may be the John Brown, of Nottingham, or his son. Many of the settlers seem to have come from Not- tingham. The records indicate that the following who were in Packersfield also were the sons of John Brown (1) : Abijah, born about 1755, signed the association test in Packersfield : John, Jr., born according to his own family records September 16, 1770; Isaac, who was one of the first three set- tlers of Eden, Vermont, where John Brown. Jr. settled. (The first meeting of the proprietors of the town was held in Wolcott, Vermont, August I, 1799. the proprietors being the survivors and heirs of Captain Seth Warner's company of revolutionary soldiers. It is likely that the Browns were heirs of some soldier in the company. The first child born in the town was Eden Brown, son of Isaac and Lydia Brown.)


(II) John Brown, Jr., son of John Brown (1), was born in Packersfield, New Hampshire, Septem- ber 16. 1770. He was married, November 17, 1796, to Nancy Johnson, of New Ipswich, New Hamp- shire, by Rev. Gad Newhall. They settled in Rox- bury, New Hampshire, where they lived for several years. They removed in 1804 to Eden, Vermont, where they lived the remainder of their lives. Their children: Betsey. died January, 1800: Joanna Heaton, died January, 1800; Luther Heaton, of whom later; Joanna Kidder, claimed relationship with Captain John Brown, the anti-slavery martyr, 1V-2


and had a letter written by him to another relative; she died aged ninety-five years in Vermont; Mary, Sally, John, died 1814; Charles Pearson, Rachel Johnson, Lucretia, Noalı, Jane, Betsey, Lucy Salome, John IIolmes, an infant, died unnamed.


(III) Luther H. Brown, son of John Brown. Jr. (2), father of Luther J. Brown, of Fitchburg, Massachusetts, was born in Roxbury, New Hamp- shire, September 30, 1800. He was one of a family of sixteen children. At an early age he removed with his parents to Eden, Vermont (1804), where he procured the best education afforded by the public schools, and when a young man became a school teacher. He worked on his father's farm in summer and taught various schools in the vicin- ity during the winter terms. He established a general store at Eden at an early age and became one of the leading citizens of the town. He was a representative in the state legislature, postmaster and for a long period the town clerk. In June, 1845, he removed to Manchester, New Hampshire, where he continued in the mercantile business until he retired on account of age. He spent the last years of his life in Fitchburg, 1873, living with his only son, Luther J. Brown. He died there December 17. 1886. He was buried at Manchester. He was a member of the Hillsboro Lodge of Odd Fellows and of the Odd Fellows Veteran Association of Manchester. He was also a member of Washing- ton Lodge of Free Masons of Manchester.


He married (first) Bersheba Shattuck, who died May 22, 1842, leaving two children. He married (second) Mrs. Laura A. Henry, widow. The chil- dren of Luther H. and Bersheba Brown were: Luther J., of whom later; Annie Lucretia, married James E. Dodge, of Plymouth, New Hampshire, resides at 87 Cottage street, New Bedford, Massa- chusetts.


(IV) Luther J. Brown, son of Luther Heaton Brown (3), was born in Heaton, Vermont, Decem- ber 31, 1827. His early education was acquired in the district schools of his native town, at the acad- emy in Johnson, Vermont, and at Appleton Acad- emy. New Ipswich, New Hampshire. He was a promising student, fond of books, and was fitted for college, but financial reverses compelled him to relinquish the idea of a college education. His father kept a general store at Eden and he gained his first business experience there. About 1843 he went to work for Noyes Brothers of Hyde Park, Massachusetts, in their country storc. He worked for a time in Manchester in one of the cotton mills, and also for a short time in a hardware store.


In 1850, when twenty-three years old, Mr. Brown went to Boston and became a clerk in the large wholesale and retail dry goods house of Brett, Ellis & Company on Federal street. He remained in this concern for several years and acquired a thorough and valuable knowledge of the business. In 1853 he went to Natick, Massachusetts, and took charge of a branch store of his employers, remaining there about a year. In August, 1855, Mr. Brown went to Fitchburg, Massachusetts, and soon afterward entered partnership with Andrew B. Sherman. (See sketch of Mr. Sherman.) Their store was located in the building adjoining the present Rollstone Bank building. They carried dry goods chiefly and en- joyed a flourishing and successful business.


In 1860 Mr. Brown entered into a partnership with Charles Kimball, of Haverhill, the firm of Sherman & Brown having been dissolved some time

before, and under the firm name of Kimball & Brown started in the dry goods business in the store on the site now occupied by the L. J. Brown block. Main street. In 1862 Mr. Brown bought out his partner and with his wife and one clerk to assist him began on his own account. He made rapid progress and his business grew constantly. Much of his success at this important period was due to the assistance, co-operation and ability of his wife. He purchased the building in which his store was located and on five occasions built extensions and additions to accommodate his growing trade. While he carried only dry goods and cloaks at first, he soon added dress-making. The carpet department was added in 1882 and the millinery department in the year following. He had more than fifty clerks employed at the time of his death and owned one of the largest and most prosperous stores in the city. In 1882 he built the present building which bears his name. At the time it was built it was the finest business building in Fitchburg.


In addition to his large establishment in Worces- ter Mr. Brown had for three years a branch store in Shelburne Falls, Massachusetts, and was active in whatever he thought would benefit the city of Fitchburg. He held many positions of trust and honor. He was a director in the Wachusett Na- tional Bank from the date of its organization in 1875, vice-president of the Worcester North Savings Institution and trustee since its organization, presi- dent of the Wachusett Electric Light Company from its organization, and first president of the Old Ladies Home. He served the city of Fitchburg in the common council and board of aldermen and represented it in the general court in 1878 and 1879. He was an earnest and active Republican in politics. Mr. Brown was a prominent Odd Fellow and Free Mason. He was a member of Mt. Roll- stone Lodge of Odd Fellows, and King David En- campment, Aurora Lodge of Free Masons, and Jer- usalem Commandery, Knights Templar. He was an active member and vestryman of Christ Episcopal Church.


Mr. Brown had an attractive and magnetic per- sonality. He made many friends in every relation of life. He was generous and charitable. Among other ways that he gave of his means was in open- ing the hall in his block for many purposes, for religious, political and temperance meetings and for several years he gave the hall lighted and heated to the local Railroad Men's Christian Association. He died at Fitchburg, September 29, 1884. At the time of his death the Sentinel said: "The death of no citizen could have produced a more profound sensation ; his had been a busy and useful life and his loss is deeply felt in this city where the best part of his life was spent." The funeral was in many respects the most impressive ever held in the city. All the business houses were closed and many thousands attended the exercises in Christ Church, many entering after the ceremonies to pay their last respects.


He married. January 13, 1856, Sarah P. Hard- ing, of East Medway. Massachusetts, who did so much to help him in the early days of his business career. She is the daughter of Theodore Harding and a descendant of the pioneer. Abraham Harding, who was born in England in 1620, came to Braintree, Massachusetts, about 1640, and settled in Medfield about 1650. He was an Indian fighter, a typical pioneer. He married Elizabeth Adams, daughter


of Henry Adams, the progenitor of President Adams. Mrs. Brown survives him and is active in church and social life in Fitchburg. They had no children.
