      "Richard Brown d. Aug. 30, 1900. Lived in Polk and Holt counties, MO, and in
      1854 co-founded Brownville in Nebraska Territory. Slave owner. Wanted new
      settlers in Nebraska to vote for slavery when voting eventually for
      statehood. Left Brownville in 1864, probably discouraged about the prospects
      for slavery in a state that sent several regiments to be slaughtered for the
      Union cause, and landed with in-laws in Collin County, Texas (Plano). This
      is according to a Nebraska history written in the 1880s (Wm. Cutler. "Nemaha
      County," History of Nebraska, 1882. CHICAGO: THE WESTERN HISTORICAL COMPANY,
      Co., A. T. ANDREAS, Proprietor.) The same book, citing ex-Gov. Furnas, says
      that Brown, although an ardent advocate of slavery, was run out of Texas
      because the locals associated his name and origin (Brownville is not too far
      from Ottawatomie, Kansas) with the abolitionist John Brown. He moved to
      Kansas City, then to a ranch outside Ferndale, in Humboldt County, CA. In
      1898 he and Lemina moved again, this time to Healdsburg to be with a
      daughter. In Healdsburg CA. Kicked by a horse, died in the evening. Born
      in White County, Tenn., Aug. 4, 1822. M. Lemina 14 Nov. 1842 in Polk
      County, MO. Lemina died in 1909 in California. Both are buried in the Oak
      Mound Cemetery in Healdsburg, CA, with their notorious daughter, Cordelia
      Botkin."
