At the time of the early settlement of Kentucky, John Brown bought a tract consisting of one hundred and sixty acres of timber land between Flemingsburg and Maysville where he made his home for the remainder of his life. There was a cabin on the place and he erected a large hewed log house where he kept an inn. He was a slave-owner in Maryland and having taken his chattels with him to Kentucky, they cleared the land. He himself practiced his profession of a physician. His wife, a native of Wales, bore the maiden name of Lurania Rollins. She died on the homestead, her remains being deposited beside those of her husband in Fitch's Churchyard, two and a half miles north of Flemingsburg.
