Henry Newton Brown

Henry Newton Brown (1857 – April 30, 1884) was an American Old West gunman who played the roles of both lawman and outlaw during his life.

Brown was raised in Cold Springs Township, in Phelps County, ten miles south of Rolla, Missouri. An orphan, he lived there with his uncle Jasper and aunt Aldamira Richardson until the age of seventeen, when he left home and headed west. He drifted through various cowboy jobs in Colorado and Texas, supposedly killing a man in a gunfight in the Texas Panhandle.

Lincoln County War

In 1877, Brown landed in the New Mexico Territory, and became embroiled in the Lincoln County War, a battle of wills for economic domination of the region between two opposing factions. The first was the association of Attorney Alexander McSween and John H. Tunstall, sometimes noted as “the good guys.” They had the support of cattle baron John Chisum and a company of young working cowboys that were to become proficient gunmen known as “The Regulators.” Brown joined Billy the Kid and others of this group as a cowboy working on Tunstall’s Rio Feliz Ranch.

Henry Newton (Winsor & Newton founder)

Henry C. Newton (died 1882) was a British painter, and one of the original founders of the art material company Winsor & Newton.

In 1832, together with William Winsor, chemist, Newton founded Winsor & Newton in a small shop at 38 Rathbone Place in London, his home, "which was then part of an artists’ quarter in which a number of eminent painters, including John Constable, had studios, and other colourmen were already established".

William Winsor died in 1865. A few months before his own death in 1882 Newton sold the business to the newly incorporated firm of Winsor & Newton Ltd. which included members of both families amongst the shareholders.

The company continues to manufacture fine art materials, and is known for its watercolour paints.
