Notes - George Brown was born in 1854.
In 1860, George Brown was residing in Hanover, Luzerne, Pennsylvania, USA, with his widowed father and siblings.
In 1870, at age 16, George Brown was residing in nearby Kingston, Luzerne, Pennsylvania, USA, with the family of William Casner. He was employed as a labourer. His place of employment is not listed but he was living with a group of unrelated labourers. The next previous person on the same census page not listed as a labourer was a miner, suggesting that George may have been employed with a mining company.
George has not been confidently identified in 1880, however there is a matching George A Brown, born abt 1855 in Pennsylvania, and residing in Falls, Chase, Kansas, USA, employed as a stone builder. It is not certain that he is the same George A Brown, but no other match has been found in 1880, and this match would fit with George's migration west to be found in Denver, Colorado in 1900.
In 1897, at age 43, George Brown married 32-year-old widow, Paula Gates, who had a five year old son at the time. This is according to the 1900 census which shows them has being married 3 years. The location of their marriage is not given, but Denver is presumed.
In 1900, George Brown was residing in Denver, Colorado, USA, with his wife, Paula Gates, and her son from a previous relationship. Robert Gates. Robert is recorded as a stepson of George Brown. George was employed as a stone cutter.
In 1904, at age 50, George Brown, married 16 year old Lulu Porter. It is presumed that Paula Gates had previously died. Lulu is found in 1900, at 12 years of age, residing Chaffee County, Colorado, USA, just west of Denver, with her parents and siblings. There is no further record of her. She is presumed to have died before 1910.
In 1910, George Brown was residing in Denver, Colorado, USA in a bording house and was recorded as being single.
In 1919, George Brown died in Denver and was buried back in Hanover, Luzerne, Pennsylvania, USA. The beneficiaries listed in his will include only siblings and nephews and nieces. There is no mention of Robert Gates.
