Notes:

The United States federal era began in 1776. Events such as civil strife, wars, disease, the
introduction of cotton, and the development of roads influenced people to move into or out of South
Carolina. South Carolina's cotton economy depended heavily upon slave labor. Census records
from 1790 to 1840 list only the head of each household by name. Records, including military,
court, and land records, were created during this time.

In the1840 & 1830 Anderson County, SC Census
James Brownlow - the only Brownlow in the 1830 or 1840 SC Census in any Dist. or County in SC. (This could be William's father because he is from the right state and William named his first son James.) I copied these Censuses, but it does not give the names of anyone else, just the numbers, one of which is a male between the ages of 15 - 20. That seems too young. However, in the 1830 Anderson Co., SC Census, James Brownlow list 2 sons ages10 - 15 and 2 sons ages 15 - 20. One of these ages would fit William M. Brownlow.
________________________________________________________
(Gene Brownlow 2013)
There are 2 Census, 1820 and 1830 that seem to show that William could be one of James and Rebecca's children.
In 1820 the report shows 2 males under 10 and 1 under 45. At this time George W was 6 and William would have been 5 and James would have been 33. The same report shows 1 female under 10 and 1 under 26. Sarah would have been 1 and because we don't have a birth year for Rebecca this could be her.

In 1830 the report shows 2 male between 10 and 15 and 2 between 15 and 20. George wouuld have been 16 and William would have been 15. It would be possible to have two other males, maybe twins at 10 that wouldn't have been on the 1820 Census. Also there was 1 male between 40 and 50 with James being 43 at that time. The report shows 4 females less than 5, 1 female betwen 5 and 10 and 1 female between 10 and 15. Sarah would have been 11, Eliza would have been 5 and Melinda would have been 3. It also show 1 female between 30 and 40 with Rebecca about 36.

in 1840 the Census report show only 1 male between 50 and 60 and at this time James would have been 53. For females the report shows 4 under age 5, 2 between 5 and 10 and 2 between 10 and 15. Emily would have been less than 1, Narcissa would have been 5, Nancy would have been 8, Melinda would have been 13 and Eliza would have been 15. This accounts for 1 below 4, 2 between 5 and 10 and 2 between 10 and 15. It also shows 1 female 40 to 50 and Rebecca would have been around 46

Next James' grandfather was William Brownlow and his Great grandfather was James Brownlow
James named his first son George Washington and his second William Monroe.
William Monroe named his first son James Monroe and his second Elias Albert.

Obituaries of James Brownlow

James Brownlow - It becomes our duty to cronicle the death of old Uncle Jimmie Brownlow, one of our oldest and most respected citizens who died about 9oclock yesterday
morning (The next few words are unreadable but it looks like at 88 years) of age. He served in the war, of 1812 and then again in the Creek war, and was a Pensioner.

Although he could not write his name he served about 40 years as a Deputy Sheriff and constable, and was never ruled in any case nor. was he ever required to give reason for not obeying an order or serving a paper. He had been
a consistent member of the Baptist church some 28 years in short, He was an honest man, a good man, and lived and died without an enemy. His remains will be buried this evening. Peace be to his ashes.

(From the Feb. 23, 1876 issue of the Rome Weekly Commercial)

James Brownlow - The Honest, familiar face of the good old man will be seen no more in thi(s) world. Wednesday morning he departed this life, full of years and with a
record of honesty, frugality and purity of life and purpose, that the best and the greatest would not be ashamed of. For forty years he has gone in and out
before our people, always in quest of duty, and always avoiding offence.

Nearly half of his long life has been spent in official duty, either as sheriff or bailiff. He was a constable in South Carolina when the war of 1812 began. He served as a private soldier in that war. From the best information that can be obtained he died in his 90th year.

He was the father of thirteen children, only three of whom survive him. He has seventy-four grand children. He has lived(been?) a consistent exemplary member of the Baptist church for over 30 years. His last hours illustrated his earnest faith in his Redeemer, his humble trust in the goodness and mercy of God. His last prayers were full of touching, yea, eloquent pathos and caused those near him to breathe the prayer of David Oh, that I might die the death if the righteous.

Mr. Brownlow was born in Pendleton District, South Carolina. He removed to Georgia in the year 1838, and has been a resident of this county for 37 years.

His children were, George Washington Brownlow, William Monroe Brownlow, Sarah (Brownlow) Johnston, Eliza (Brownlow) Smith, Melinda (Brownlow) Pogue, Nancy Amanda (Brownlow) Bean, Narcissa (Brownlow) Dunn, Emily(Brownlow) Beard.

Notes:

John Brownlow was born about 1762 in County Armagh, Northern Ireland, to William and Jane Brownlow. When he was a child, his family left Ireland and moved to the Carolinas. Although the Brownlows entered through the port of Charleston, it appears that they quickly joined other relatives in piedmont North Carolina. Following his father’s death in 1770, his mother remarried to Andrew McBride of Orange County, North Carolina. It appears that he grew to manhood in the area around Hillsboro and Pittsboro, North Carolina.

On 29 May 1781, when he was about nineteen, John Brownlow joined Captain Joseph Rosser’s company of Col. Robert Mebane’s regiment, 2nd brigade, North Carolina line. On 13 September 1781, while in the vanguard, John Brownlow was heavily wounded in the battle of Lindley’s Mill. According to his pension statement, he “was wounded in three places in the skull, which was broken with a sword by one of the enemy.” He was left for dead on the battlefield, but he managed to make it to his mother’s house in Pittsboro, North Carolina, where, after several months, he recovered. He had thirteen pieces of skull removed from his wounds, and his left arm was disabled.

Sometime about 1786, John Brownlow married. Unfortunately, despite many online trees giving her a name, his wife’s first name is currently unknown. (See discussion on the wife of John Brownlow).

In 1800, John Brownlow moved his family to Pendleton District, South Carolina. After multiple attempts, John Brownlow was finally able to obtain a federal pension for his service during the American Revolution. In old age, he still had the scars from his youth. In 1824, he described his unnamed wife as being “old & helpless” and suffering from “the deprivations of an affliction.” He also stated that she had “been his only comfort in early life.” She died 13 November 1828 in Anderson County, South Carolina. The Pendleton Messenger of 19 November 1828 reported that “Mrs. Brownlow died Thursday night.” She was about sixty-three years old.

John Brownlow died 12 April 1832, aged about seventy. The Pendleton Messenger of 25 April 1832, in reporting his death, stated that he was a “soldier of the Revolution and for many years honest resident of this District. The burial location of John Brownlow, and his wife, is currently unknown.

John Brownlow, son of William and Jane Brownlow, was born in Ireland in 1762. He came to South Carolina with his parents in 1767. On May 29, 1781, he entered the service of Colonel Mabane's Regiment of North Carolina Line. He was injured in several places at the battle of Lindy's Mill. He married sometime around 1785 but his wife's name is not know. Before 1800 he moved from Chatham County, North Carolina to Pendleton District, South Carolina. He applied for and received a pension from the State of South Carolina in 1819 and received it until his death on April 12, 1832. His wife had died in Pendleton District on November 13, 1828.

John Brownlow - American Revolutionary War

John Brownlow was born in Ireland in 1762. He came to South Carolina with his parents in 1767. Possibly known as “Plain John,” John Brownlow is said to have been a Revolutionary War hero. He is the grandfather of James Alexander Henley Brownlow, father of Harriet Octavia Smith, Thiddo Smith’s* grandmother.James A. H. and his brother Obediah both fought in the Civil War (see below).

On 29 May 1781, he enlisted in Col. Robert Mabane's 3rd North Carolina Regiment and took part in the battle of Lindley’s Mill, in Alamance County, North Carolina, on 13 September 1781.

The day before, 1,100 Tory soldiers under the command of David Fanning attacked Hillsboro, North Carolina, the capital, and captured 200 prominent officials including the governor, Thomas Burke. Fanning took about 600 men and marched Burke and some of the other prisoners to Washington to turn them over to the British.

As they passed through Lindley’s Mill, which was a major crossroads, they were ambushed by 300 Patriots under the command of Gen. John Butler, Col. John “McBane” and his brother Col. Robert Mebane. The Patriots occupied high ground north of the mill.

During the attack, Gen. Butler is said to have lost heart and tried to retreat, but Col. Robert Mebane rallied the troops. In the end, the Patriots ran out of ammunition and the Tories escaped with the governor after Fanning threatened to kill the prisoners if pressed. In all, between 200 and 300 men died in a space of four hours.

Col. Mebane was murdered a month later, on 13 October, in Williams Township, and his killer, a Tory named Henry Hightower, was captured and hanged. The Governor was not rescued, and was imprisoned on James Island.[1] The Battle of Lindley's Mill closed the war in North Carolina one month before Lord Cornwallis surrendered the British Army at Yorktown.

John Brownlow, a private, was said to have been wounded 13 times during his service.

Lindley’s Mill was built in 1755 by Quaker Thomas Lindley, an Irish immigrant, who was granted 1,000 acres by the Earl of Granville. The mill is still in operation, having passed down through the Lindley family for nine generations.

The State of South Carolina Pendleton District by the Honerable Charles Colecock Esquire, one of the Associate Judges of the State of South Carolina To all to whom these presents shall come, be, been or made known, Greetings. Know ye, that this day, John Brownlow, a citizen of Pendleton District, did appear before me and made oath, that on the 29th day of May 1781, at or near Chatham Court House, North Carolina, he, the said John Brownlow, entered the service of the United States of America as he understood during the (pleasure?) of the Government of the United States, under Joseph Rosser, Capt, of Col Robert Mabane's Regiment in the 2nd Brigade of the N.C. Line. He was in the battle at Lindley's Mill, on Crane Creek of the Haw River, Orange County, North Carolina. He was in the Van Guard and was wounded in three places in the skull, which was broken with a sword by one of the enemy. He was many months unable to do anything, by occassion of his wounds, during the time he laid at his Mothers near Chatham County Court House, N.C. And before he was fit for duty, he received a message from Col. Robert Griffen, whose command he was then under, that his services were no longer required by the United States. After he got able to do business or was fit for duty (as he lay several months, confirmed, the Tories in the battles having left him on the ground for dead) He thought it unnessary to be at any trouble to obtain a discharge as peace was made between the United States and Great Britian before his recovery. This despondant further saith that he has never received any bounty, pay or pension from the United States and from age and infirmity he is unable to labour as heretofore and that his reduced circumstances in life, he stands in need of the assistance of his country for support. mark John X Brownlow In testimony that therefore was sworn to and subscribed before me, this twenty-seventh day of March Amno Domini one thousand eight hundred and nineteen. I have set my hand and seal of the court caused to be affixed. Charles Colecock the justice of the State

Bette,
While perusing an online scan of R.S. Sanders book The Family of Henry
Simeon Sanders, 1983 the following appeared. "John Saunders, son of
William Saunders, gave a deposition for John Brownlow when Brownlow was
wounded and carried to his mother's (S-) house in Pittsboro. John
Saunders was captured in the same battle near Pittsboro and imprisoned
in Wilmington NC, he lived to go home." The author has an endnote mark
by the deposition, but the scan (on the Sanders website that I sent you,
listed as "William Sanders family" on menu) does NOT include citations.
I suspect that the data came from _The Colonial Records of NC series.
Of course, this could be the John B- (ca.1724-80) the inn keeper, but he
was a bit old to be fighting and living in Fayetteville. However, he
was an active patriot, could this be what killed him? Your ancestor,
John, seems the proper age to be a "fighting Quaker" and living nearby.
Some of this Saunders clan moved to the Pendleton District of SC in the
late 1700s, and this family were also Quakers. The said John S- was the
brother of Mary who mar. James B- (son of Wm. & Jane) who d. in Giles
Co. TN.

Notes:

William Brownlow, son of James Brownlow, was born about 1727 in County Armagh, Ireland. About 1757, he married Jane whose maiden name is unknown. She was born about 1733. In 1767, William, Jane, and their oldest children set sail for North America where several of his siblings had already settled. He and his family were granted lands in what became Lancaster County, South Carolina, but he did not live to see the fruits of his labor. He died in about 1770. It is unclear whether he died in South Carolina or after the family moved to North Carolina where his brothers were established. After his death, his widow Jane married Andrew McBride and was still living, in Orange County, North Carolina, on February 12, 1800.

***********************************************
Reference: 1064 - This information came from Bette Brownlow in a message board reply she sent to Jeff A Clark on 8/23/2000 and updated on 2/17/2002.

Jeff, the more trips I take to Ireland, the more convinced I am I have gotten pretty close to figuring out who Williams father is but yet cannot find the definitive documentation to link the two together. As for the Lord Brownlow and Elizabeth Hamilton connection, the dates do not really jive. Their son William became Lord Lurgan and was an MP in Parliament and Sheriff of Armagh, I believe. (I am not working from my notes right now, just a very fallible memory). William and Elizabeth had a son James who reportedly lived and died in Dublin. No evidence that he ever married that I have been able to find.

What is interesting to me is the similarity in appearances between the Lurgan line and the men in our family. I suspect from the research I have done that we come from the following: John of Epworth received the land in Ireland from James. He went to Ireland with three sons: William, John, and Richard. William's line became the Lords of Lurgan and is well documented. John's line became known as the Brownlow's of Kilmore and became Quakers. Hence, I tracked them through the Quaker records in Belfast. Richard only had female children. I can make a case from William Brownlow b. 1613 to James Brownlow b. 1695 who I believe to be the father of our William and John, NC and SC bunch of Brownlow's. Hence, at this moment in time, I truly believe we are cousins of the Lurgan line and our lines split off 400 years ago. Again, the men resemble each other greatly, even now. I cannot document two links. God willing that will come in time. Does this confuse the issue even more?

***********************************************
William Brownlow was born in 1727, in County Armagh, Ireland. He was the eldest son of James Brownlow and was mentioned in his will. William Brownlow, and his wife Jane and their children, immigrated to Charles Town, South Carolina, in December of 1767.

The Ship "Earl of Donegal" left Belfast, Ireland on October 2, 1767, according to advertisements and notices of her departure published in the Belfast Newsletter. Duncan Ferguson, master, and his 294 Irish passengers of 64 different surnames arrived in Charleston, South Carolina by December 22, 1767, 81 days later, and swore they were Protestant (probably Scots-Irish Presbyterians).

William and Jane Brownlow immigrated with three children, one of whom was John (b 1762 in Ireland)

Notes for JANE:
Information

Chatham was formed in 1771 from Orange. The act became effective April 1, 1771. It was named in honor of William Pitt, Earl of Chatham who was a most eloquent defender of the American cause in the English Parliament during the Revolution. It is in the central section of the state and is bounded by Wake, Harnett, Lee, Moore, Randolph, Alamance, Orange and Durham counties. The present land area is 682.90 square miles and the 1990 population was 38,759. The act establishing the county provided for the courts to be held at the home of Stephen Poe. It also named commissioners to have a courthouse, prison and stocks erected. In 1778 a town was established on the land formerly belonging to Ambrose Edwards where the court house was. This town was named Chatham. Chatham Court House is mentioned in correspondence, 1776-1782. In 1785 a law establishing Pittsboro on Miles Scurlock 's land on which the courthouse stood was enacted. In 1787 an act was passed stating that the heirs of Scurlock would not allow a town to be established on their land. Therefore, the trustees of t he town were advised to purchase land from William Petty adjoining the Scurlock tract and lay out a town. It was named Pittsboro in honor of William Pitt, the younger. In 1787 Pittsboro was made the county seat.
