American politician
George W. Brown (ca. 1819 - ?) was an American farmer from
Brookfield Center,
Wisconsin who served a single one-year term as a
Democratic member of the
Wisconsin State Assembly in 1862 (the
15th Wisconsin Legislature).
[1]
In January 1862, he was 42 years old, a native of
New York (state), and had been in Wisconsin for 16 years. He was elected to represent the new 1st
Waukesha County Assembly district (the
Towns of
Brookfield,
Lisbon,
Menomonee, and
Pewaukee) as a
Democrat. (The Assembly had been redistricted, and the new district combined parts of the old 2nd and 4th districts, represented by
William H. Thomas (a Democrat) and
Myron Gilbert (a
Republican) respectively.)
[2] He was assigned to the
standing committee on
internal improvements.

He was succeeded in the 1863 session by
Silas Richardson, a fellow Democrat.
