The son of William Brown & Mary Ann (McCord) Brandon and stepson of Mary Elton (Whiteside) Brandon, in 1860 he was a farmer living with his prosperous family in Huntington Township, Adams County, Pennsylvania. He stood 5' 7" tall and had dark hair and blue eyes.

A Civil War veteran, he enlisted in West Chester, Chester County, June 8, 1861, mustered into federal service at Baltimore, Maryland, July 26 as a private with Co. K, 1st Pennsylvania Reserves (30th Pennsylvania Infantry), and promoted to corporal. He was captured during the Seven Days Campaign at Savage Station, Virginia, June 30, 1862, incarcerated in Richmond, and following parole, hospitalized. He deserted October 24, 1862, but returned to duty January 13, 1863, with no apparent serious consequences for his actions. The following day, he transferred to the regular army, assigned to Co. H, 2nd Battalion, 12th U.S. Infantry, and honorably discharged at term's end June 8, 1864. He did not, as the accompanying obituary claims, serve four years in the army.

He married Jane Amelia Greason December 17, 1867, and fathered Samuel Greason (b. 12/15/68), Mary Bell (b. 09/11/70), William Whitley (b. 11/30/72), Ida Jane (b. 09/19/76 - married William Roy Gilmore), Frances McCord (b. 05/26/79), Ellen Irena (b. 08/24/81), and John Isaac (b. 11/07/83). He moved to Colorado in 1875 and the following year relocated to Kansas where he remained the rest of his life. Jane died in 1898, and he married widow Jennie R. Young, née Burrows, August 8, 1907. Cause of his death reportedly was a cerebral hemorrhage.
