Notes:

John Brownlow, who went to Ireland, went with three sons, William, John, and Richard....William's line became the Lurgan and titled line....with the male line dying out and Leticia marrying Chamberlain....Our line comes from the second son, John, whose line became known as the Brownlow's of Kilmore...and they were Quakers...and Richard only had female children....Our DNA is the same as those families from the Epworth/Belton area in Lincolnshire where John lived prior to Ireland and there is a paper link to the English titled line from another Brownlow in the Epworth area... So, we are related through the female line at least with the Lurgan Brownlows. Our men look so much like them, it is hard to dismiss. We have no direct line link with the Lurgan line other than being distant cousins and other than sharing a common ancestor with the original John who went to Ireland as the undertaker. So technically, we are cousins...just not through the male line.

John married Duglas Robarts. Duglas (daughter of John Robarts) was born in 1571 in Epworth, Lincolnshire, England; died in Feb 1591 in Epworth, Lincolnshire, England. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
