He was the son of Albert Brown and Flora Prescott. His sister married Charles G. Dulin. The Browns were natives of New Hampshire. Their father, Albert Brown, was a prominent politician of the Old Granite State. When they were young the family moved to Boston, Massachusetts.

In 1880 Miss Brown married to Dr. Charles G. Dulin, who was of an old Virginia family. Since the death of Mrs. Dulin's father, which occurred in 1882, Mrs. Dulin's mother, Mrs. Flora Prescott Brown, resided with her daughter in Washington, D.C., 310 East Capitol street.[4]
In 1905 Brown was elected the President of the Amoskeag Savings Bank to succeed Otis Barton.[5]
