Henry Newton Brown (1857 â€" 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.In 1877, Brown landed in the New Mexico Territory,
and became embroiled in the Lincoln County War. Brown joined Billy the
Kid and cowboys as "The Regulators", working John Tunstall's Rio Feliz
Ranch.On April 1, 1878, Brown, Billy the Kid, Jim French, Frank McNab,
John Middleton and Fred Waite ambushed and murdered Lincoln County
Sheriff William Brady, who was indirectly responsible for the death of
Tunstall. Three days later, at the Gunfight at Blazer's Mill, Brown
and the Regulators engaged in a gunfight with Buckshot Roberts,
another man they believed involved in Tunstall's murder. Roberts
received a serious gunshot wound from Charlie Bowdre which later
proved to be fatal, but not before he managed to kill the Regulators'
nominal leader, Richard M. Brewer. Retreating into proprietor Blazer's
office, Roberts continued a prolonged firefight with Brown and the
Regulators. He died the next day. Henry Newton Brown Biography, NetWorth, Height, Age, Weight, Family, Married, Son, Daughter
