Brown Fellowship Society.
Biographical notes:
The Brown Fellowship Society was a benevolent society of free African American and racially mixed men, affiliated with the St. Philip's Episcopal Church, Charleston, S.C. The organization was founded in 1790 to benefit widows and orphans of members, provide burial spots in the cemetery it owned, and to provide other member services. The name of the organization was changed to the Century Fellowship in 1893, and although no regular meeting minutes are present after 1916, the Society continued to exist and conducted limited business. The Society commemorated its 200th anniversary in 1990.
