Biography:

Brashears, Noah (b c. 1795)

A schoolmaster in Washington DC, and eventually, according to a title-page (1826), Principal of the Eastern Academy there. According to an introduction by his publisher in Columbia's Wreath (1830), he was a native of Maryland and had begun his teaching career there in 1821. The introduction gives his age at that time as about 35, hints darkly at "indiscretions" and misfortunes, but affirms his goodness of heart.
