Lowe Brown was born in 1756 at Augusta County, Virginia.
In 1774, he was in Captain Russell’s Company at the Battle of Point Pleasant.
Brown enlisted in 1779 for 18 months of service in Captain Jesse Evans’ Company of Colonel George Rogers Clark’s Virginia State Regiment. Part of this service was in Captain Todd’s artillery company of that regiment. His combined service record card documents his rank as matross, a skilled private of artillery.
Upon completion of his enlistment, Brown returned to Virginia. He served in Captain James Moore’s Company of the Montgomery County Militia. For two years of that time, he was assigned as an Indian Spy. He watched the rivers for signs of Indian movement.
Lowe Brown married Jane Davidson, a daughter of John Davidson, 1 March 1782, at Montgomery County, Virginia. They were the parents of 13 children: Isaac, Mary “Polly,” John Davidson, Martha “Mattie,” Joseph, Andrew, Lowe, William Harvey, George, Jane, Elizabeth, Sarah “Sally” and Cynthia.
In 1833, Lowe Brown was granted a pension of $60 per year, retroactive to 1831, for his service in the Virginia State Troops. Jane Davidson Brown died before 1840. Lowe Brown died after 18 January 1841, at Tazewell County, Virginia.
Send a biographical sketch of your patriot!
Patriot biographies must be the original work of the author, and work submitted must not belong to another person or group, in observance with copyright law. Patriot biographies are to be written in complete sentences, follow the established rules of grammar, syntax and punctuation, be free of typographical errors, and follow a narrative format. The narrative should unfold in a logical manner (e.g. the narrative does not jump from time period to time period) or have repeated digressions, or tell the history of the patriot's line from the patriot ancestor to the author. The thinking here is that this is a patriot biography, not a lineage report or a kinship determination project or other report published in a genealogy journal. The biography should discuss the qualifying service (military, patriotic, civil) of the patriot ancestor, where the service was rendered, whether this was a specific state or Continental service, as well as significant events (as determined by the author) of the patriot's life. This is the entire purpose of a patriot's biography.
