Does anyone on the list have ties to this BROWN? I have yet to find the parents & siblings of the Brown my cousin married. Gold WEEKLY COLUMBUS [GA] ENQUIRER, November 25, 1863, p. 1, c. 4 Patriotic Examples.-The Lexington (Va.) Gazette says: Col. R. H. Brown, the proprietor of the Rockbridge Woolen Factory, has set an example worthy of all imitation. He manufactures an excellent article of jeans, which he sells at $1.60 and $1.75 per yard to consumers. He will not sell to speculators at any price. The goods sold at so low a figure could not be bought in Lynchburg at less than $4 or $5. The man who can be satisfied with a moderate profit, when the necessities of the community would enable him to treble that profit, deserves the lasting gratitude of every true hearted citizen; and deserves to be remembered when the war is ended. We have also been informed that Wm. Withrow, Esq., of Brownsburg, continues to sell leather at forty or fifty cents, while others are getting two dollars. A noble heart throbs in his bosom.
