father, William A. Brown, is also a native Kentuckian, born April 22, 
1820, and is now sixty-five years of age; he has been a man of 
considerable local prominence, and has held the offices of magistrate and 
superintendent of public instruction in Allen County.  His vocation has

Allen County.  To them have been born six childen:  Eugene Scott, George 
L., Allie, Tee, Ella and Nannie C. (the last two deceased).  Our 
subject's mother, Mrs. Sarah (Alexander) Brown, was born in 1820, and is 
now sixty-five years of age; she is a daughter of Amzi C. Alexander, a 
native of Mecklenburgh County, N. C., who came to Kentucky at an early 
day. He held the office of magistrate of Allen County, Ky. for many 
years.  In 1819 he married Elizabeth W. Holliday, who as born in Russell 
County, Va., in 1800, and who now at the advanced age of eighty-five 
years retains her faculties in a remarkable degree, and is "able to walk 
a mile without assistance." Her father, Charles Holliday, was a native 
of Baltimore, Md., her grandfather, James Holliday, a native of 
Scotland. His father, Andrew Alexander, was born in North Carolina; 
served with distinction in defense of his country in the war of 1776, 
and was in the engagement at the siege of Charleston.  Allsey Brown, the 
grandfather of our subject, was born in North Carolina in 1793; he was 
one of the pioneers, and a large land owner of Allen County.  He died in 
October, 1864, aged seventy-one years.  His wife, whom he married in 
1816, was Nancy T. Childress, whose parents, as well as herself, were 
natives of South Carolina; her death occurred in Allen County, Ky., in 
1878; her age was eighty years.  E. Scott Brown received a good 
education in youth, taught school for several years, and afterward 
completed his educational course from Prof. Dunn's High school at 
Bowling Green in 1867. He then followed the profession of a teacher for 
two years in Minnesota. He was postmaster and merchant at Scottsville 
from 1869 to 1875, when he resigned the office on account of failing 
health, and took a trip to Florida; remained two years, and while there 
made some fortunate land investments at Do Land, which afterward yielded 
him a handsome profit.  After returning to Kentucky, having recovered 
his health, he studied law, and in 1878 was licensed to practice at the 
bar by the circuit court, Gov. Leslie and Gen. Joseph H. Lewis, now 
judge of the court of appeals, acting as his examiners.  He practiced 
law until 1880, when he was elected clerk of the Allen Circuit Court, 
which office he has filled with ability and correctness up to the 
present time.  His marriage took place October 29, 1872, with Lucy N., 
daughter of Gilbert M. and Mary W. Mulligan, of Scottsville, Allen, Ky.  
Their marriage has been blessed by the birth of two daughters:  Winston 
J. and Fannie E.  Mr. Brown is a member of the Methodist Episcopal 
Church South, and has for many years been an active Sunday-school 
worker.  He is a Master Mason, and for a number of years was treasurer 
of Graham Lodge, No. 208.  Politically he is a Republican.  Mr. Brown as 
a business man is energetic and accurate in all his transactions.
