Family History
Lorin Brown was noted for his collection and writing of Hispanic folklife in northern New Mexico as part of the WPA Writer's Project in the late 1930's. His father, Lorin Brown, Sr., came to New Mexico from Iowa and married Cassandra Martinez. There were five children, Bascom, Roy, Floy, Amy, Lorin, Jr., and Vincent. The father died in 1901 and Cassandra Brown married Margarito Lopez. Bascom was a Forest Ranger for a time in New Mexico and also lived and worked in California. Both Roy and Floy were in poor health and spent considerable time in sanitariums. Roy died in April 1932.
