His date of birth is unknown and information regarding his wife is unknown but he had at least one son, Hugh Brown. Robert Brown made a request for a land grant survey in Craven
County, South Carolina which was certified on 03 November 1767. The plat was granted on 01 February 1768; recorded and signed by the Governor in March 1768. This land consisted of 100 acres in Craven County bordering the Saludy River on the south west. It was bounded on the north west by Robert Brown, the north east by John Willard, the south east by William Craise. It was recorded by Ralph Humphries, D.S. For the memorialist, Patrick Cunningham.
