1. Biographical notes:
Born 24 February/3 April 1828 at Edinburgh, Midlothian
County, Scotland; immigrated to Canada with his parents, siblings, grandmother,
and his Uncle Adam's family, ultimately arriving at Gananoque, Leeds County on
26 July 1834. Was a well known carpenter
there, as well as a celebrated swimmer, having won many races in the St.
Lawrence River.
On 31 May 1866 (age 38) George and his partner were in the process of
building a home for a client on one of the nearby islands of the St. Lawrence
River when he did not return home. It
appears he drowned somewhere between Jack Straw Light and the Village of
Gananoque. Considering his experience on
the river and swimming abilities, the circumstances of his death were
suspicious, so his partner was jailed briefly during the investigation. When George’s body was finally found, about
three weeks later, it was so badly decomposed that it had to be removed from
the water with a sheet of cloth so pieces wouldn't fall apart. With no evidence remaining to prove George's
death was anything more than an accident, his partner was finally released.
According to his eldest child, Anna (Brown) Cool, George
was a very kind man when he was sober, but when he drank alcohol, he was an
"awful" father figure. His
children would be so afraid of him during those periods of inebriation that
they would hide when they saw him coming.
Sometimes, when older, Anna's brother, George, Jr. would also drink

'George'."
2. Wife: Ellen Jane Jones (photos)
Born about 1833 in England, perhaps the
daughter of Peter and Ann (Kindedine/Kindidine) Jones, reportedly, somewhat upper class and
socially prominent parents, who might have immigrated to the United States from
England in the mid-1800s, settling in New York City,
New York. There is a family story that Ellen's father
was in politics in New York City, and a relative, perhaps an uncle, was Mayor
of New York. By one account Ellen died
about 1895 in Gananoque Township, Ontario, Canada, though she had immigrated to
the United States with some of her children in 1876 and subsequently resided at
Clayton, Jefferson County, New York. No
record of interment found in Jefferson County, New York as either Ellen Brown
(from 1st marriage in Canada) or Ellen Glass (from 2nd marriage in Clayton Twp,
NYS).
Before marriage Ellen resided with her parents in New York
City. She met George William Brown when
her parents visited Gananoque, Leeds County, Ontario, Canada on a summer
vacation (at a time when the 1000 Islands region of northern New York and
eastern Ontario, Canada was a favorite get away for New York City's upper class
families, who bought islands there and built expensive homes on them). Ellen's parents objected to George, feeling
he was unacceptably beneath her social level.
For perhaps similar reasons, though in reverse, George's father, Adam
Brown, never cared for Ellen. However,
George moved to New York City to be close to Ellen, and despite her parents'
feelings, Ellen became pregnant and at age 19 married (1st) George Brown, age
26, on 28 October 1854 in the Borough of Manhattan, New York City, New York
County, New York (note: FamilySearch has a record of
the marriage between George Brown & Ellen "James" [perhaps a
misinterpretation of "Jones"], which is only accessible at one of its
history centers). As a consequence,
Ellen's parents disowned her. George and
Ellen resided in New York City for a few months, and their oldest child, Anna,
was born there on 3 April 1855 aboard a ship in New York Harbor. Their other children were all born at
Gananoque, Leeds County, Ontario, Canada.
With no great affection for Ellen, Adam Brown sold the
land he had informally conveyed to George to George's brother, Adam Alexander
Brown, and he remodeled a farm building (more
info) on his property for Ellen and her children. Destitute and desperate, Ellen was forced to
put some of the children up for adoption.
The oldest, Anna K. (Brown) Cool, then age 11, refused to be adopted, so
she ran away from home and worked to subsist.
Anna's brother, George, Jr., was adopted, but his adoptive parents
treated him very cruelly. At some point
George, Jr. was beaten and injured with a pitch fork, so his sister, Anna,
stole him away from that family one night and raised him herself. A sister, Mary Jane, was also mistreated, but
Anna didn't know about it until long afterward.
By 1875 Ellen had moved with some of her children to the United States
via Cape Vincent, Jefferson County, New York, settling in the nearby Village of
Clayton, where, soon after, she married (2nd), as his 2nd wife, widower Elias Waldon Glass (more info) (b.

"Will"/"William": (photos) (more info)
Born 12 March 1863 at Gananoque, Leeds
County, Ontario, Canada. Died 8 February 1938, age
75, from complications of heart disease at the residence of his sister,
Emma. Married Minnie D. Porter (b. Sep
1867, 15 Nov 1936, age 69), daughter of Pitt C. (b. about 1845) and Lydia (?) (b. about 1847) Porter of Clayton, New York, on 15 December
1891.
George, Sr. drowned when George, Jr. was quite
young, so George, Jr. had very little recollection of his father. Life was tough for a family without a male
bread winner (and supportive relatives), so George's destitute mother was
forced to put him and other siblings up for adoption. The family who adopted George mistreated
him. After George was hit with a pitch
fork, his sister, Anna, stole him back and raised him. As a young boy, George and his sisters helped
their widowed mother by selling vegetables on the streets of Gananoque. He moved to the United States with his mother
and some sisters in 1876. Initially
George was employed as a carpenter by Henry Barber, a contractor out of
Watertown, Jefferson County, New York, who was doing a lot of building in
Clayton and in the Thousand Islands. In
that capacity George helped build the original Frontenac Hotel on Round
Island. Later George worked in the old
furniture factory in Clayton, and eventually he transitioned his carpenter
skills into boat building, which made him famous and prosperous. He invented and manufactured the famous St.
Lawrence River skiffs, which became renowned for their functionality up and
down the River and in parts of Europe.
The skiffs led to larger boats, his first being the
"Minnie D.," named after his wife, which he piloted throughout the
Thousand Islands, transporting people and freight. The next big boat he built was called the
"Just Brown," the first in a fleet of four with that name, which he used
to ferry people and mail, especially train passengers who needed transport from
the rail head in Clayton down river to Alexandria Bay, New York.
George also built and operated the "Dauntless,"
a steam yacht which catered to private parties and excursionists. A figurehead in the community, he was a
charter member of the Clayton Volunteer Fire Department and a member of the
Clayton Lodge of Odd Fellows and Masons.
George also served for two years as a Republican trustee for the Village
of Clayton.
