Emson (or Empson) Brown, the son of Slater Brown and Elizabeth Rowles, was born between 1811 and 1818, and was probably their second son. Various places of birth are found, all listed by him, his children, or others who supplied information for various documents. The possibilities include: Maryland (per the 1850 Federal Census); Pennsylvania (per the 1860 Federal Census); Elkton, Maryland, according to the information provided by Emson’s son on Emson’s 1867 death certificate; a foreign country, based on the 1870 Federal Census in which the census taker wrote “yes” when asking whether the children’s father is of foreign birth; and Kentucky or New Jersey, both of which were listed by his children in the 1880 Federal Census.
Emson, apparently with two wives both named Harriet [Harriet Fothergill, and then Harriet Bebee], had 7 children: William, Slater, Samuel, Marcella, Joseph, Franklin, and Lovell.
Emson Brown died 07 Jul 1867 in Piqua, and was buried in the Piqua Cemetery (also known as the Texas Street or Park Avenue Cemetery), which opened in March 1846 and closed in January 1870. Individuals who owned lots in this cemetery were allowed to exchange them for lots in the Forest Hill Cemetery. It was the responsibility of the families and heirs to transfer the bodies and stones or monuments to the new location. The Piqua Memorial Hospital was then built at the location of the closed cemetery, and at some point the street name was changed from Texas Street to Park Avenue. Upon the closing of the old cemetery, Harriet Brown transferred the Piqua Cemetery lots to Forest Hill Cemetery.
