Addison Brown (21 February 1830-9 April 1913) was born in West Newbury, Massachusetts to Addison Brown (1796-1883) and Catherine Babson Griffin Brown (1805-1884). Brown attended Harvard Law School and graduated in 1854. He married Mary C. Barret (24 December 1827-26 April 1887) in 1856. He worked as a lawyer in a private practice in New York City until 1881 when President James A. Garfield appointed him to the US District Court for the Southern District of New York. In 1891, he helped establish the New York Botanical Garden. In 1893, following Mary’s death, Addison married Helen C. Gaskin (7 February 1862-22 February 1943). They had four children. He served as a Federal Judge until he retired in 1901. One of his children, Stanley Noel Brown (25 December 1901-23 April 1982), moved to Leesburg and married Elizabeth Fitzhugh Rust (2 August 1902-20 December 1972). The Rust Family’s history, not only in Loudoun County, but in the United States as a whole, is well documented. The family came to America in 1654. The documents in this collection relate to General George Rust (1788-1857), Colonel Armistead T.M. Rust (1820-1887), Ida Lee Rust (1840-1921), Edwin Rust (1869- 1925), and brothers Henry Bedinger (H.B.) Rust (1872-1936) and William Fitzhugh Rust (1847-1940). H.B. Rust and William F. Rust were the President and Vice President of the Koppers Company, which built coke ovens, railroad ties, and other industrial equipment. SOURCES Federal Census, 1850-1940.

The location of the originals of the documents on the microfiche is unknown. The quality of the microfiche is irregular. Handwritten letters, are difficult to read or illegible, however typescript items are still accessible. The order of the digital files as saved to the CD does not completely match the order of the microfiche. Although the microfiche contains materials from 1820 through the 1930s, the bulk of the documents are from the 1870s, 1890s, and 1920s. Documents include diaries, letters, and wills from Addison Brown, H.B. Rust, Ida Lee Rust and other members of the Rust family. There are a few documents relating to historic Rockland House, a Rust Family home. Genealogical information for both the Rusts and Browns is also present. Business notes from H.B. Rust’s work at Koppers include correspondence relating to the beginning of the Great Depression, including an account of Rust’s meeting with President Herbert Hoover. There are also a few original documents relating to the Koppers Company in the collection. This includes a 1937 copy of Fortune Magazine with an article on the Koppers Company, A Koppers promotional magazine circa 1935, the book Koppers-Becker Coke Ovens, and a color copy of a Koppers poster.

  • NATHANIEL LORD BRITTON BIOGRAPHY Chuck Staples, CSSA Historian
    NATHANIEL LORD BRITTON BIOGRAPHY Chuck Staples, CSSA Historian Britton, Dr Nathaniel Lord (1859–1934)—primary co-author of the 1919-1923 four-Volume books, The Cactaceae, the comprehensive, monographic cactus book of its time. Born at New Dorp, Staten Island, New York on 15 January 1859 (the eldest of 3 siblings), Nathaniel Lord Britton became a well-known botanist, taxonomist and author. Although his parents wanted a religious career for him, naturalists John J Crooke (1824–1911) and John Strong Newberry (1822–1892), showed Nathaniel the wonders of the natural world. At the suggestion of Crooke, Nathaniel's higher education began in 1875 at the Columbia College School of Mines in New York City (became a college of Columbia University in 1896), earning him a Mechanical Engineering degree in 1879. He earned a PhD degree at the same College in 1881 with the thesis "A Preliminary Catalogue of the Flora of New Jersey". During his college career he was assistant in geology to John Newberry, who lectured in geology and botany at Columbia. It was during his college years that Dr Britton became intensely interested in the science of botany. He was only 18 when he became a member of the Torrey Botanical Club in 1877 and through the tireless work of himself, his spouse Elizabeth and others within the Club the "New York Botanical Garden" was founded in Bronx, New York in 1891. He married Elizabeth Gertrude Knight (1858–1934) in 1885, a bryologist with special interests in mosses and ferns. By 1902 the married couple began their annual trips to the Caribbean (spending many winter months in Puerto Rico) to further their respective fields of interest.
