Margaret born about 1840,died 19/04/1916.They had two children that I know of Letita Ann born 16/12/1877 and John born 1881 I think.

JOHN BROWNLOW OF CUMBERLAND CO NC

BEvans3567 — 8 Aug 2001 3:26:13 GMT

JOHN BROWNLOW was the brother of my 6th great
grandfather WILLIAM BROWNLOW who died in 1770
in Craven Co, SC. I have some documentation on
JOHN's life ( not to be confused with Wm's
son JOHN BROWNLOW (Rev. Soldier and my 5th
great grandfather).
Uncle John lived in Cumberland Co and he married
first Sarah Council and they had one child, JAMES
Sarah died during child birth and JOHN married
Rebecca Evans and they had one child MARY.
JOHN DIED in April 1774 and ARTHUR COUNCIL was appointed
guardian of JAMES BROWNLOW son of JOHN BROWNLOW
also ARTHUR COUNCIL and REBECCA BROWNLOW were
granted administrator of JOHN's estate.
The papers say that the Negros belonging to the estate
of JOHN BROWNLOW were to be divided between the
widow and his two children.
Rebecca remarried to George Fletcher and he became
guardian to MARY BROWNLOW.. In July 1777 Arthur
Council (Sarah's brother) died and James Council
became guardian of his nephew JAMES BROWNLOW.
JAMES COUNCIL was SARAH's brother also.
You may read all this information in Court
Records in the "Court of Pleas and Quarter Sessions
in Cumberland County NC.
Hope this helps some and is not confusing the
way I wrote it.
PS. My Mother was a Brownlow and I have been
researching the family since 1986.I have found
a lot of misinformation on the net.

George R. BROWNLOW, England > IL > MT > ID

jennyrt — 2 Sep 2006 10:46:13 GMT

I have been searching for information on my great-great aunt, Nellie (Ellen) O'DONNELL, b. abt 1879 in Carna parish, Co. Galway, Ireland. My grandmother remembers that she was married to a widower named George, who had several children from his first marriage, including a daughter, Alice. I think I may have found this family: George R. BROWNLOW, b. abt 1858 in England, was working as a miner in Park Co., Montana (1900 census) and Shoshone Co., Idaho (1910 census). Ellen (or Nellie) was listed as his second wife, whom he married in 1899/1900 (in the 1900 census, they had been married 0 years). George had four children from his first marriage:
William Brownlow, b. abt 1887, Illinois
Mary A. Brownlow, b. abt 1891, Montana
Alice Brownlow, b. abt 1893, Montana
Thomas Brownlow, b. abt 1895, Montana

George R. Brownlow's first wife was born in England, according to the census records.

If this is the right George, then he died in the early 1910s during a visit with my grandmother's parents in Seattle, King Co., WA.

If anyone has any information that could help to confirm whether this Brownlow family is indeed my gr-gr-aunt's family, I would be very appreciative.

Obituary
William G.Brownlow

William G. Brownlow, better known, perhaps as "Parson Brownlow, died Sunday. He was born in Wythe County, Virginia, in 1805, and when still a boy was taught the trade of a carpenter. When twenty-one years of age he began work as a minister, and continued in that branch of duty exclusively until 1828, when he entered Tennessee politics as an advocate of the re-election of John Quincy Adams, IN of near the year 1837 he settled in Knoxville, Tenn., and began the publication of the "Whig" in the columns of which he gave such expression to his views that he soon became known as the "fighting parson." He held the view that slavery ought to be perpetuated, but opposed seccession so bitterly that he was arrested by the confederacy for treason, and finally put inside the Union lines where he made the most of his time by delivering speeches. IN 1865, having returned to his old home he was elected to the governorship of Tennessee, and four years later he was sent to the United States senate.
"Parson Brownlaw was a man in a thousand, an iron will, a terse, sharp expression of strong views, and a way of mixing politics with religion, were among his leading characteristics.

Pam — 16 Aug 2000 12:00:00 GMT

Trying to come up with the name of Alexander Brownlow's 1st wife. He married her sometime before 1841 when their first child, James A. Brownlow was born. Jacob N. born in 1842, Nancy Ann born in 1845 and Sarah born in 1847. Soon after this birth she evidently died since Alexander married Nancy Walters in August of 1847. They had three more children..

Alexander was the younger brother of William Gannaway Brownlow who was the first governor of Tn after reconstruction. More on this family can be seen on the Gannaway/Wright web page.
