670 ‎‡a  African American National Biography, accessed June 17, 2015, via Oxford African American Studies Center database:‏ ‎‡b  (Brown, George S.; missionary, Methodist Episcopal clergy; born 25 July 1801 in Newport Island, Rhode Island, United States; joined the "Episcopal Methodists"; was granted an exhorter's license (1831); approved for a license to preach (1833); sent to Liberia as a schoolteacher (1836); was admitted as a full member of the Liberian Annual Conference (1839); was a very successful missionary to the native Africans in Liberia; was suspended from all of his duties (1843) and expelled from the Liberia Conference (1844); his preaching credentials were restored (1853); moved to the village of Wolcott and began gathering Methodist classes there (1855); under his direction the Wolcott Methodist Episcopal Church was built; died 10 April 1886 in Glens Falls, New York, United States)‏

Brown, the first African American pastor in the former Troy Annual Conference of the UMC; born a free man to Amos and Harriet Smith Brown on Newport Island, RI, on July 25, 1801; he was converted in Kingsbury, NY in 1827 and became a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, receiving a license to preach on July 27, 1833; he then experienced a call to become a missionary to Africa; sailed to Liberia on October 15, 1836, where he was reportedly one of the most successful missionaries in reaching the native Africans; he married twice there: first wife, Nancy Wilson, died and he remarried to Harriet Ann Harper; when Brown refused to become a part of a political battle between the white superintendent of the Mission and the Liberian governor over whether or not taxes should be charged on goods being shipped from America to Liberia, he was expelled from the mission and sailed back to America in 1843; in 1855 he organized the United Methodist Church in Wolcott, Vermont, then oversaw the construction of the church building in 1856; as far as can be determined, the Wolcott, Vermont United Methodist church is the only white United Methodist church in the United States (and perhaps the entire denomination) that was organized by an African American)‏
