George A. BROWN (born April 15, 1847 in Halifax) -- I don't know which Halifax (NS, RI) married Minnie L. NEWELL of Barrington, Nova Scotia. Lived in US. George was in the Civl war, enlisted 2-3-1862 and separated in 1865. Minnie was only 15 so this was probably before he married her. He enlisted in Brightwood, District of Columbia. --- His address on the back of the discharge papers is 169 Clark Road, Brookline, MA. So by 1865, he was going there or living there. Minnie was born in Nova Scotia in 1850, but we don't know where or when they married. By 1873 they were in Boston, MA where there first child was born. From 1877 to 1886 they were in Rhode Island, where the rest of their children were born, and four of the five died there. The latest in 1886.
