0.01 sec.

Brown, Alexander (1764–1834) merchant, banker, early American millionaire; born in County Antrim, Ireland. He came to Baltimore in 1800 and was followed in 1802 by his sons, George, James, and John A. Brown. He began as an importer of Irish linen, then expanded into tobacco, cotton, and other commodities; eventually his international shipping and trading activities turned his firm into a merchant banking house. A model of business acumen, he helped found the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad and he supported Baltimore's civic development.
