James Baldwin Brown (1785-1843) began practicing law at the Inner Temple in 1816, traveling for a time on the northern circuit and the Lancashire sessions. His wife was the sister of Thomas Raffles, Independent minister in Liverpool. Brown’s son was the Rev. James Baldwin Brown (1820-1884), a leading nineteenth-century Congregationalist minister.
