He moved to Charleston, married Harriet Wyatt and had 12 children, two of which were William Henry (my great-grandfather) and Alexander H. Brown. William was a noted artist, cutting silhouettes of famous people. Alexander was a lawyer and planter who married John C. Calhoun's daughter, Sarah. I'd be interested in any information on this Brown family. Thanks, Marion (Brown) Baker
