Jacob Brown, The Fighting Quaker


Having secured his education and feeling himself able to establish a home of his own, Andrew Ellicott was married, December 31, 1775, at Newtown, in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, to Sarah Brown, whose father was a prominent " Friend," and a cousin of Jacob Brown, the "Fighting Quaker" of the War of 1812.

Because Jacob Brown had married a non-Quaker and because he promoted a lottery, he was disowned 4th month 4, 1804.
