On March 1, 1711, by this document, he was attached to General Hill's troops in Canada. General Hill led a combined army and naval force into the St. Lawrence River. In the fog, two ships ran aground, with the loss of about 450 men. The force returned to the American colonies and no further attempt was made to take Quebec until the French and Indian War. Brown was made Ensign to Captain Edwards at St. James on September 6, 1712, and was renewed by King George I in 1715. He was promoted to Lieutenant on March 4, 1720. On June 20, 1727, Brown rejoined the 11th Foot Regiment and was made Captain Lieutenant on January 12, 1740. In 1745, Captain Brown was killed at Fortenoy.
