Research Notes
Comments:
"William Brown was himself a carpenter and joiner who advertised his furniture making and built houses and all of these men would have worked in his business. Only a very few of his business records survive and they seem to indicate he was not to thorough at record keeping, so other than the descriptions published in the papers we know little else about these men."
