John Calvin Brown was born in Giles County, Tennessee, the son of Duncan and Margaret Smith Brown. He was the younger brother of Neill S. Brown, who served as governor of Tennessee in the late 1840s. John graduated from Jackson College in Columbia, Tennessee, in 1846. He studied law with his uncle, Hugh Brown, in Spring Hill, and was admitted to the bar in 1848. He began practicing law in Pulaski that same year.Like his brother, Brown was a Whig prior to the American Civil War, and following the Whig Party's collapse in the mid-1850s, he continued to support former Whig candidates. In May 1861, Brown enlisted as a private in the Confederate infantry, and was elected colonel of the 3rd Tennessee Infantry shortly afterward. Brown returned to Pulaski and resumed his law practice following the war. Although he had been a Whig before the Civil War, Brown joined the Democratic Party after the war, and was nominated as the party's candidate for governor in 1870. Since the new constitution restored voting rights to ex-Confederates, Brown easily defeated his Republican opponent, William H. Wisener of Shelbyville, by a 78,979 to 41,500 vote. He was reelected by a narrower margin, 97,700 votes to 84,089, over Republican candidate Alfred A. Freeman in 1872. Brown fell ill in the Summer of 1889, and traveled to Red Boiling Springs, a mineral springs resort in north-central Tennessee, in hopes of recovering. On August 17, 1889, however, he suffered a stomach hemorrhage and died. His body was returned to Pulaski and interred in the city's Maplewood Cemetery.) <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_C._Brown> German National Library via VIAF, Aug. 9, 2023 (identifier: 1149180358 gnd http://d-nb.info/gnd/1149180358, n87123778 lccn, 16277608 viaf; GAC: XD-US; other class #: 16.5p sswd; preferred: Brown, John Calvin 1827-1889; variant: Brown, John Calvin 1827-1889; Brown, John C.; related: Tennessee, Tennessee, Brown, Neill Smith 1810-1886) <http://www.viaf.org/processed/DNB%7C1149180358> |
