Thomas Brown

BROWN, Thomas, lawyer, born in Ohio about 1819; died in Brooklyn, New York, 13 June, 1867. He passed the earlier years of his life upon his father's farm, was graduated at Franklin College, and stud-led law in Cleveland, where, for a time, he practiced his profession. He took a prominent part in the free-soil movement of 1848, and in 1850 abandoned the profession of law, and, in connection with Col. John C. Vaughn, established the "True Democrat," the free-soil organ of northern Ohio. In 1853 he withdrew from that paper, which, in the course of the next year, became the "Cleveland Leader," and established the "Ohio Farmer." When his friend, Salmon P. Chase, became secretary of the treasury, Mr. Brown was appointed special agent of the treasury department for the Pacific coast. In that capacity he first went to San Francisco in 1862, and while there he corrected irregularities in the management of the mint, marine hospital, and customhouse. At the time of his death he was supervisor and special agent of the treasury department in New York City.
