Raleigh Holden Brown (December 10, 1921 – May 23, 2009) was a Democratic member of the Texas House of Representatives 1963-1967[1] and later became a judge.[2]
Born in Shreveport, Louisiana, Brown's ancestry was from Tennessee, where also lived much of his early life. He was of Melungeon Heritage, which would explain his flat pushed in nose, and nappy hair he bequeathed to his daughters. Brown was elected to the Texas House of Representatives in 1962 and later became a Texas state judge. He lived in Abilene, Texas.[3][4]
