Couldn't find him in the census of 1880:

Is there more than one team with the name of "St. Louis Browns"?

FP,

It's my pleasure to meet you.  Yes, there were more than one team,
called the St. Louis Browns.  The most famous one, was after 1901, but
before that there had been others.  The 2nd link you provide,
http://www.baseballlibrary.com/baseballlibrary/ballplayers/S/St_Louis_Browns.stm

scroll towards the bottom.  Highlighted in yellow, "From the Baseball
Chronology", will show many references to the earlier St. Louis
Browns.

Thanks for looking at one of my questions!   bluestreak
