Born in Carlisle, Schoharie County, New York, Brown attended the common schools. In 1868, he removed to Albany where he worked in a hardware store. In 1872, he removed to Oneonta and opened there his own hardware store. He also engaged in dairy farming. He served five years as the First-Lieutenant of the Third Separate Company of the New York National Guard.

He was Supervisor of the Town of Oneonta from 1882 to 1888; and a member of the New York State Assembly in 1888, 1889, 1891, 1892 (all four Otsego Co., 2nd D.) and 1893 (Otsego Co.).

He was a member of the New York State Senate (33rd D.) from 1896 to 1898, and from 1903 to 1906; sitting in the 119th, 120th, 121st, 126th, 127th, 128th and 129th New York State Legislatures.
