Move proposal
[edit]I propose this article be moved to the title Murder of Grace Brown, as Brown's only notability stems directly from her death. This would be in accordance with numerous other articles on similar individuals, whose notability followed, and was a result of their deaths. Boneyard90 (talk) 05:40, 24 June 2012 (UTC)

Marriage?
[edit]This article states that Gillette promised marriage. This is unknown and cannot be stated as a fact. It is possible that he verbally promised marriage, but that is not known for certain. What is certain is that nowhere in Brown's letters to Gillette does she use the words "marry" or "marriage". She pleads only for Gillette to "take her away". Neither does Gillette use the words "marry" or "marriage" in his letters to Brown.
It has been speculated that Gillette and Brown planned for her to be taken to a home for unwed mothers, and that this is what she meant by "take me away", but that this proved impossible for some reason and that it was then that Gillette hatched a murder plan. This is also unproven but its possibility points to the fact that it cannot be said for certain whether or not Brown ever pressured Gillette for marriage and whether or not Gillette ever promised it.
