Clarissa Harlow Brown was the daughter of Capt. John Brown, who settled in Boone Co., KY. Capt. Brown was the brother of Zebulon M. Pike's mother Isabella Brown. Therefore Clarissa and Zebulon were first cousins.
Capt. John Brown was born 22 October 1752 in New Jersay and died 18 November 1824. He was a Revolutionary War Soldier. No mention is made of her mother.
Because her father disaproved of the marriage, Clarissa and Zebulon eloped to Cincinnati and were married over her father's protests.

American explorer and soldier. He was born in Lamberton, New Jersey, and entered the United States Army about 1793. Pike was a lieutenant when in 1805 he was chosen by General James Wilkinson to find the headwaters of the Mississippi River. In the winter of 1805 and 1806 he reached Red Cedar Lake (now Cass Lake) and Leech Lake in Minnesota, erroneously believing them to be the Mississippi's source. The actual source, Lake Itasca, was determined in 1832. He also bought land from the Sioux people for the future site of Fort Snelling, which grew into the city of Minneapolis, Minnesota.

In July 1806 Wilkinson sent Pike to explore the headwaters of the Arkansas and Red rivers. Pike traveled up the Arkansas River into South Park, a tableland in the Southern Rocky Mountains in Colorado. He also explored the region south of what is now Leadville, Colorado, and sighted and attempted to climb Pikes Peak. From the Arkansas River he turned south, crossing the Sangre de Cristo Mountains into the Spanish territory of New Mexico. The Spanish arrested Pike and imprisoned him at Santa Fe, New Mexico, and Chihuahua, Mexico. He was released in 1807 and returned to the United States with valuable information about the geography of the Southwest. His report stimulated great interest in the settlement and trade of that region.

Pike was commissioned a brigadier general at the beginning of the War of 1812. He was killed by the explosion of a powder magazine, April 27, 1813, while leading American forces in an assault on the capital of Upper Canada, York (now Toronto, Ontario).

During his trips supplying the forts on the Ohio River, Zebulon had time to visit some of the planters whose estates lay on the river's banks. He never failed to stop at one plantation - Sugar Grove - which was fifteen miles below Cincinnati and owned by Captain John Brown. There was a good social reason for the stops here, for Captain Brown was the brother of Zebulon's mother (Isabella Brown Pike). But another reason presented itself in Captain Brown's dark-haired and pretty daughter Clarissa. She was his partner at dances held in the plantation house. Sometimes they walked by the river together, slipping away from the rest of the party. It was not long before they were deeply in love, but Captain Brown opposed the match.

"A soldier for my daughter's husband, sir?" he said when Zeb asked for Clarissa's hand. "I cannot agree to it. What is your future? Garrison duty on the frontier, small pay and a few promotions. I want more than that for my daughter."

Clarissa had anticipated her father's reaction. Now she showed that she had just as much spirit as he. She and Zebulon eloped to Cincinnati and were married over her father's protests. The marriage brought about a breach between the Brown and Pike families and Zebulon was not welcome at his father-in-law's or uncle's estate afterward. Although there may have been a breach in the relationship: Clarissa "Clara" is buried in the Sugar Grove Cemetery next to her father, Capt. John Brown, along with her daughter Clarissa Brown Pike Harrison and her husband John C.S. Harrison. Clarissa Brown Pike's husband, General Zebulon M. Pike, killed at the Battle of York (Toronto) Canada, is buried in the Military Cemetery, Sacketts Harbor, New York.

Was commissioned at age 20 a first lieutenant and served for several years with the frontier army. The young lieutenant was then dispatched on a long and important expedition, setting out from St. Louis on July 15, 1806. He was instructed to explore the headwaters of the Arkansas and Red Rivers and to reconnoitre the Spanish settlements of New Mexico, being warned to "move with great circumspection...and to prevent any alarm or offence". After visiting the Pawnee villages on the Republican River, Pike (whose promotion to a captaincy occurred by routine on Aug. 12, 1806) moved up the Arkansas to the site of the present Pueblo, Colorado. Here, on a side trip, he made an unsuccessful attempt to reach the summit of the peak that bears his name.

When the attack on York (now Toronto), Canada, was launched in April 1813, the immediate command of the troops was entrusted to then Brigadier General Pike. He led his men to victory, but was killed in the assault (April 27) when the enemy's powder magazine exploded. A distinguished officer who was at the Battle of York states that as he passed the general, after he was wounded, he cried, "Push on, my brave fellows, and avenge your general."

As the general was breathing his last and the British standard was brought to him and placed under his head, he replied, "I die content."

None of his sons survived to manhood. Several children were born to he and his wife but only one Clarissa reached maturity. In later years, Zebulon wrote to a relative that he had been the father of five children, but that all had died except Clarissa.

Zebulon married Clarissa Harlow Brown in 1801 in Cincinnati, Hamilton County, Ohio. Clarissa (daughter of John Brown) was born about 1783 in Stringtown, Boone, Kentucky; died about 1847 in Sugar Grove, Boone County, Kentucky. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

John Brown Pike was born November 22nd, 1827 to James Brown and Elizabeth Pike in Lawrencebury, Indiana. During the outbreak of the Mexican War he joined Company C of the 4th Indiana Infantry. His General was Winfield Scott, the Commander of the U.S. Army in Mexico. They were withdrawn from the conquest of Monterey and shipped to the conquest of Vera Cruz. Then they advanced towards Mexico. On September 14th, 1847 they captured Mexico City. Shortly after the war gold was discovered in California and the Pike families began to travel westward. Some families traveled from St. Louis to Oregon and California in covered wagons. However John, his father, and some other families headed down the Ohio River and up to Mississippi to Burlington. From there they headed across the prairies to Jefferson, Wapello, and Mahaska counties in Iowa (PIKE p.272-274).

He then met and married Eliza Frasier in the early 1850's. She was born in Eddyville, Iowa with no recorded birth date. Together they had four children: Anderson Victor, Mary "Mollie" Elizabeth, John Zebulon, and William Henry. Soon the outbreak of the Civil War took place. John and a group of men took their horses and rode to Mt. Pleasant, Iowa. There they joined the 4th Iowa Calvary. The calvary was organized between November 23rd and December 26th, 1861. He was later transferred to the Marine Corps due to a break in his health. He served with the Marine Corps through the seize of Vicksburg and until the end of the war. His wife, Eliza, died shortly after the war ended on March of 1864 in Kirkville, Iowa(PIKE p.272-274).

He then married his second wife, Ann Eliza Hull, December 2nd, 1866 in Hopkins, Missouri. She was born April 1st, 1848 in Prospect, Ohio. Together they had eight children: Eva Eliza, James Cornelius, Lucy Ann, George Washington, Isabelle May, Herman Wyatt, Rufus Vernon, and Leon Wilson. They raise their family in Braddyvills, Iowa were he worked as a carpenter, wagon maker, and millwright. Even though he wasn't in good health he still worked hard to provide for his family. He didn't like the idea of being a pensioner of the government. However his congressman, Major John F. Lacey, persisted that he should receive a pension of eight dollars a month for serving in the Mexican War. So Major Lacy drew up the pension papers and hand delivered them to John, for him to sign. The pension did increase within time and even extended to his widow after his death(PIKE p.272-274).

At the age of seventy-seven, despite his health, he filed a claim on one hundred and sixty acres of land in western South Dakota with his sons. He then assisted in building his own house, which was a shack. They lived there until they were able to make proof of the house and receive a government patent for the same. Later they sold this to help ease their financial problems. He later died January 28th, 1910 in Kirkville, Iowa. His wife, Ann, died twenty years later on August 8th(PIKE p.272-274).

At the outbreak of the Mexican War young John joined the Infantry in Indiana (Co. C 4th Indiana Infantry) and was with Gen. Scott at the conquest of Monterey after which they were withdrawn and shipped to the conquest of Vera Cruz. From there they advanced against and captured the City of Mexico. Immediately following the War with Mexico and the discovery of gold in California, the Pike families began their trek westward. Some joined covered wagon trains from St. Louis to Oregon and California, but John Brown Pike and his father, James Brown Pike and their families came down the Ohio River and up the Mississippi to Burlington and across the prairies to Jefferson, Wapello and Mahaska counties in Iowa. At the outbreak of the Civil War, he and a group of men from these coun- ties taking their own horses rode to Mt. Pleasant, Iowa, where they became a part of the 4th Iowa Cavalry organized November 23 to December 26, 1861. His Regiment served through the War, but on account of a break in his health he was transferred to the Marine Corps through the siege of Vicksburg and until the end of the War.

He was married again at Hopkins, Missouri to Ann Eliza Hull and as carpenter, wagon maker, millwright, he took up life at Braddyville, Iowa. While his general health had been weakened by his war service, he never liked the idea of being a pensioner on the Government. His Congressman, Major John F. Lacey made out and brought him the papers which he signed granting him a pension of $8. 00 per month for his service in the Mexican War, and this was increased from time to time to the end of his life January 28, 1910 and ex- tended to his widow to August 8, 1930. Anxious to overcome the handicap of broken health and his to gain a competence in his later years, he, at the age of 77 years filed a claim on 160 acres of land in western South Dakota and assisted in building his own house (shack) and lived there with his wife until they were able to make final proof and receive a Government patent for the same. This he later sold to help ease the burden of their declining years. He departed this life from their humble home in Kirkville, Iowa, where they had reared their family to maturity and was laid to rest near his father and mother, James Brown and Elizabeth Car- berry Pike who had come to Iowa with him in 1849 from Lawrenceburg, Indiana.
