    DEATH OF A REVOLUTIONARY PATRIOT
    Died at his residence in Pittstown, NY, on Saturday, the 11th day of June, inst., of apoplexy, Jonathan Brown, Esq., aged eighty-three years, a venerable patriot of the Revolution and one of the earliest settlers of Rensselaer county. Judge Brown was a native of Stonington, Conn., and emigrated at an early period to the State of New York, and settled in Pittstown, in this county, previous to the Revolutionary War.
    When this eventful and glorious struggle commenced which resulted in the establishment of our national independence, he did not hesitate to serve his country in the capacity of a soldier.
    When he entered the army he held an ensign's commission in a company attached to the regiment commanded by Col. Anthony Van Schaik, stationed during Burgoyne's celebrated campaign, in 1777, on Van Schaik's Island, near the confluence of the Hudson and Mohawk rivers, opposite the village of Lansingburgh. In the month of August of the year his command was ordered to aid General Stark and he had the good fortune to be present at the battle of Bennington. He was also present at the battle of Bemis Heights, and the surrender of Burgoyne, which occurred during the same campaign. At the close of the war he received a Major's commission by the recommendation of General Washington.
    Judge Brown held the office of Sheriff of Albany County under the old organization of counties. He afterwards repeatedly represented the county of Rensselaer in our State Legislature, and was many years Judge of our County Courts. He was also for a long period the agent of General Ten Broek and General Rensselaer for the sale of manor lands.
