Brown, did "feloniously steal, take, and carry her away from me..." The will was probated January 1827

In July, 1869 "Shorty" Brown was head of one of three cattle herds that went across the plains of Texas into New Mexico. The first night was spent in Harkeyville, then on to Brady heading towards the Pecos RIver. Despite stampedes, heavy rains, and other mishaps, they made it back to San Saba in September. Brown was a horse lover and when he came to Texas he brought a fine stallion with him and promoted horse breeding which later ended up in horseracing as an occupation for some of his family. John built a fine home for the time, just east of San Saba. The material was hauled by ox wagon from Austin. When the late E. E. Risen came from England, he and the bride were married at this house. Though it has changed hands and been remodeled several times, the house is still standing. He built the first mill in Mill Creek in 1867. This building, still standing, has been remodeled by a club and has a historical medallion
