About Brownsville, Maryland
Brownsville, also called Banjotown, is a community of 102 people in Washington County, in Pleasant Valley near Gapland. Tobias Brown, a son of Rudolph Brown and one of the county's first settlers, owned farmland that ran south from Gapland to where the village now stands. His son John and grandson Cornelius later opened a tannery in the swampy ground where a little stream feeding Israel Creek begins, and the town that grew up there took the family's name.
John Brown fought in the War of 1812 at the Battle of North Point. Back home in 1824, he raised the first house in what became Brownsville. Its timbers were cut to size in Hagerstown and hauled in by wagon, handmade bricks filled the spaces in the frame, and weatherboard split by hand from South Mountain trees covered the outside.
- One family's post officeBrownsville's post office opened on January 28, 1833, with John H. Beall in charge. John Brown took it over on February 3, 1836, and ran it until 1863, when his son Cornelius stepped in. Apart from a break that began in 1886, Cornelius kept the office until February 1894. His own son, George T. Brown, got the appointment in February 1898 and held the job for over 40 years.
- St. Luke's in the Civil WarSt. Luke's Episcopal Church was organized on August 21, 1837, and its brick church went up in 1839. On September 11, 1862, Confederate General Lafayette McLaws made it his headquarters while his troops camped around Brownsville, and after the Battle of Antietam it cared for his wounded. The Union Army then burned it so Confederates near the Potomac couldn't use it. It was restored in 1869 and still holds services.
- Semmes holds the passWhen McLaws moved on, he posted the brigade of Brigadier General Paul Semmes at the western base of the mountain by Brownsville on September 11, 1862. Semmes kept his men there until the 13th, then pulled them back up into the gap.
- The Brethren since the RevolutionRudolph Brown founded the Church of the Brethren here in the years after the Revolutionary War. The congregation built a meetinghouse in the village in 1852 and used it until its present church opened along MD 67 in 1960. Two branches it had started, West Brownsville at Yarrowsburg in 1907 and South Brownsville at Garretts Mill in 1914, rejoined the Brownsville church that same year.
