Biography:

BROWN, Margaret (1772-1836: ancestry.co.uk)

Her parents were the Rev. Samuel Brown and Margaret (Smith) Brown, and she was the elder sister of Thomas Brown (q.v.). She was baptised at  Kirkcudbright, Scotland, on 15 Mar. 1772. Her poems were critically well received but little is known of her life. She is described in PPS as being “a lady of gentle Christian character.” She is probably the Margaret Brown who died on 23 Dec. 1836 and was buried in the cemetery in Kirkcudbright.
