BROWN, James K., Harrison, Napoleon p.o., was born in Perry county, O., 
December 8, 1827, and was a son of David and Mary (Creger) Brown, who were
born in Pennsylvania, and married in Muskingum county.  They had a family
of thirteen children, nine of whom are now living: Joseph, Jacob, James K.
and George, who enlisted from Wisconsin, and served for three years.  The
mother died in Morrow county, and her husband in Iowa.  James K. Brown
commenced his business life at the early age of ten years, and at the age
of twelve years ran a farm selling his grain and oats at ten cents, and

a cash capital of twenty-five dollars, then purchasing 40 acres of land
for that amount.  He then hired out and earned twenty-five dollars more,
and purchased his second forty acres.  He now owns in all a fine farm of
340 acres.  He was married in November, 1848, to Deborah Johns, who was
born in Morrow county in 1824.  She died in 1861, leaving a family of six
children: Mary E. (Wilson), Daniel J. (born in 1852 and died in 1873),
