    Notes 
    • William was a printer in Auburn, possibly working with Samuel Right Brown before the demise of Samuel, on the Cayuga Patriot. He lived at 46 Orchard Street in Auburn, Cayuga county, NY. In 1850, however, he is listed as a Prison Keeper in the Auburn Census.

      He married Rebecca Wood/Weed of Preston, Chenango county, NY and had at least two children; Thurlow Weed Brown and daughter, Emma.

      After the death of Rebecca at the age of 55 years old, William moved to Fort Atkinson, WI to be with his children where he died in 1878.

      In an article published in the Cayuga Republican on 1 Oct. 1828, is mentions the death of Edward Weed, a merchant of Weedsport, aged 32 years, died in Auburn on 30 of Sept. 1828 at the house of his brother-in-law, William Brown, Esq.
