Brown, Samuel (2)

an English Wesleyan minister, was born in 1787 in Cheshire. He was converted in 1807; became a local preacher in 1809; was received by the Conference in 1816; labored in Sierra Leone from 1816 to 1819; in Nevis and Antigua, W.I., from 1819 to 1823; and in England from 1823 to 1851, when failing health compelled him to retire from the full work. In 1858 he returned, as a supernumerary, to the scene of his early labors in Sierra Leone, where he spent three useful years. He died in Liverpool, England, October 5, 1861. See Minutes of the British Conference, 1862, page 12.
