Brown, George (4)

an English Baptist minister, was born in 1777. He seems to have commenced his ministry in Sabden, Lancashire, where he remained two years, and then removed to Kington, in Herefordshire, where he was pastor eight years. About 1822 he was invited to take charge of the Church in South Shields, Durham. Here he remained during the rest of his life. He is said to have experienced heavy trials, through all of which the Lord carried him. He died August 26, 1842. See (Lond.) Baptist Hand-book, 1843, page 21. (J.C.S.)
