Bush died of yellow fever while on a business trip to Louisiana and Mississippi – where he had gone to set up a grist mill manufacturing enterprise – leaving his widow Hannah Daniels Brown and six children behind in New York City. The following year Hannah Daniels Brown died in New York City, also of yellow fever, leaving six orphans: Ephraim Daniels Brown, age 18, and his five younger sisters. Julia, the youngest child, was only two years old when her father died three years old when her mother died.
The obituary for Bush Brown appeared in the New York Evening Post on September 11, 1821: "Bush Brown was overtaken by fever and died in Natchez in August 1821, aged 38, while on his way home. He left a wife and six small children and many friends to lament his loss." The following year his widow, Hannah Daniels Brown, died of yellow fever at her residence on Cheapside Street (New York Evening Post, September 20, 1822, New York Public Library) leaving six orphans, Ephraim the eldest 18, and his five sisters ranging in age down to Julia, who was three.
Bush and Hannah Brown's children were sent to live with various relatives and friends. Julia and her 11-year-old sister Mary were taken in by their mother's dearest friend, Mary Livingston, to the Livingston Manor in Clermont, New York. An early handwritten record of the children of Bush and Hannah Brown showed the third child as "Mary Brown," but later her name invariably appeared as "Mary Livingston Brown" or "Mary L. Brown," indicating that she took the name "Livingston" to express her gratitude to her mother's friend, Mary Livingston. The initials "A. L" between Julia's given name and surname presumably stood for "Augusta Livingston."
