BIOGRAPHICAL NOTES.
1 JACOB AWL was born on August 6, 1727, in the North of Ireland. He was a tanner, a man of means, and when he came to America, settled near his relative John Harris, at Harris' Ferry, and erected a tannery. Was an Ensign in Col. John Elder's battalion in the frontier wars and aided upon the outbreak of the Revolution in organizing the associated battalions of Lancaster county. He was a commissioner in laying out the county of Dauphin, and trustee appointed by John Harris for the public grounds ceded by him at the laying out of the town of Harrisburg, for public uses. He was a public spirited man, but refused to accept public office. He married Sarah Sturgeon. The following from a lady in Ohio, a descendant of the Awls, who said she had it from her grandmother, descriptive of the marriage of Joseph Green, son of C 1. Timothy Green, of Hanover, and Sarah, second daughter of Jacob Awl, may not be out of place in this connection : " On the morning of the wedding the party accompanying Mr. Green came riding 'down the lane' to Mr. Awl's house, all in the style of the day. The groom wore his hat with three black plumes, long stock- ings, knee breeches, &c. It was a gay affair for those days. On the Sunday following all went to Mr. Elder's church. Jenny Awl, sister of the bride, it seems, was one of the singers for tune raising on that occasion. She made her debut, having sent to Philadelphia for a handsome pair of stays, which she wore on that day ; but caused some stir by fainting and having to be carried out."
2 WILLIAM BROWN, was born at sea, June 30, 1720, and was the son of John and Hannah Brown, who emigrated from Scotland to Paxtang in 1720. He was a prominent aetor in Provincial and Revolutionary times, a representative man on the frontier, and a zealous Covenanter. At his own expense he visited Ireland and Scotland on behalf of his religious brethren to procure a supply of ministers, and brought over the celebrated Rev. Messrs. Lind and Dobbin, who subsequently, with the Rev. John Cuthbertson, organized at Paxtang, at the little church built by him near his residence, the Reformed Presbyterian Presbytery of America. Brown's church was situated on the Jonestown road near the present school house, and until within a few years the foundations were distinctly visible. There was no grave-yard attached to the church,

the Browns and other members burying in Paxtang. It was occupied as a church for less than twenty years, when, from an item in the Oracle of Dauphin, we learn that "on the 11th of September, 1795, James Byers and James Wilson, Executors of William Brown, Esq., of Paxtang, offered for sale a log house, near the residence of Mr. Brown, formerly occupied as a house of worship by the Rev. Matthew Lind," and it was then sold. Mr. Brown represented Paxtang at the meeting of the General Committee at Lancaster in 1774, was a mem. ber of the Assembly in 1776, and during its sessions proposed the general Emancipation of slaves within the Commonwealth, a measure not very favorably received at the time, but subsequently adopted. He served again in the Assembly in 1784 ; was a member of the Board of Property in 1785, a Commissioner to superintend the drawing of the Donation Land Lottery in 1786. He was an active and public spirited citizen, of unquestioned piety, and kind-hearted and generous. The Rev. Matthew Brown, D. D., first President of Washington College, and afterwards President of Jefferson College, was adopted and educat- ed by him. He was a son of his brother Matthew.

At the close of that campaign was transferred to the Third Regiment of the Pennsylvania Line, resigning in 1777. He subse- quently returned to the service, and remained to the end of the Revolu- tion. He died at the residence of his son-in-law, Samuel Rutherford, near Harrisburg.
