Andrew Brown was the son of Lieut. Allison Brown and Hannah Scammon.2 He married Elizabeth Harding, daughter of Stephen Harding and Abigail Littlefield, on 5 November 1747 in Arundel, York County, Maine.1
Humphrey Scamman was appointed his guardian in 1730, Samuel Jordan of Biddeford succeeded Scamman in 1734, and Jonathan Stone of Arundel succeeded Jordan in 1748.3 He disappointed his father's hope that he would go to college. In addition he seems to have been unfortunate financially and, after selling off small portions of his father's land, he mortgaged the remainder (homestead of 150 acres lying at the head of Batson's River between Brown's Mill River on the southwest and Thomas Perkins Esq. on the northeast, one-half of a double sawmill, one hundred acres on both sides of Brown's Mill River, etc., etc., reserving the family burial place) to Lady Pepperell in 1759. The mortgage was foreclosed in 1761, and in 1763 he conveyed the equity to her in consideration that his wife Elizabeth should have Trott's Island for life with a remainder to her children in fee.4
In 1786 he and his brother-in-law Abraham Tyler brought suit against Robert and William Hasty of Scarborough to recover two-thirds of the original Andrew Brown and Henry Watts farms of about 900 acres. A vast amount of evidence was submitted and may be studied in the files of the Supreme Judicial Court, but the decision was in favor of the Hastys.5
