Brown Chamberlin

Brown Chamberlin (March 26 1827–July 13 1897) was a Quebec lawyer, publisher and political figure. He was a Conservative member of the Canadian House of Commons representing Missisquoi from 1867 to 1870.

He was born in Frelighsburg, Lower Canada in 1827, the son of a doctor. He studied at McGill College and was called to the bar in 1850. Chamberlin worked as a journalist and was publisher of the "Montreal Gazette" from 1853 to 1867. He later sold the paper to Richard and Thomas White. He resigned his seat in the House of Commons when he was named Queen's Printer in Ottawa in 1870. In 1870, he married Agnes Dunbar FitzGibbon, daughter of Susanna Moodie and the author of "Canadian Wildflowers" (1867). He served as lieutenant-colonel in the local militia and was named a companion of the Order of St Michael and St George for his role in repelling Fenian raiders at Eccles Hill. He was also a Freemason.
