| 358 | Earl Anderson Brown’s line is our Dan Willis Brown's only match so far on the Brown DNA Project. The DNA submitter for that line was Grady Jess Brown from TX, who died several years ago. We thought we’d lost touch with anyone from the line; then, we were contacted by KC (Kenneth Christopher) Brown, who lives in New York and had found out about the DNA match. Unfortunately, though we know this line was related to Absalom (both lived at one time in Pendleton Dist), we still haven’t been able to connect them. Here’s all I know: 1. Andrew Brown b. ca. 1730 in Augusta/Frederick Co., VA, (apparently in part of the Scots-Irish settlement there). He m. Jane Elizabeth Young and was a Revolutionary War Soldier. They had sons John Henry? Brown and, possibly, Daniel and William Brown. Andrew moved to Pendleton Dist (Spartanburg Dist; Ninety Six Dist). 9/10/1784 Plat 200-a Saluda Riv (Long Cane Crk ??); 11/7/1785 Plat 200-a Hillsborough Twshp. He then moved to Elberton, GA and died in 1783. 2. John Henry? Brown b. May 1756 - c. 8 Aug 1847, son of Andrew and Jane Brown, was also a Revolutionary War Soldier (Private in 1777 SC Col. Roebuck's Reg, Capt. Pickens and is listed on the Alamo Chapter DAR, San Antonio, TX, Patriot List-Pension # W5906). John married 1st in 1785 in Pendleton Dist, SC, Betty “Red Deer” Crawford (whose father may have been a George Crawford), said to be Cherokee. They had children: John Thompson (m. Nancy Camp), George Washington (m. Jane Barton), William, Benjamin, Elijah (b. 7 Feb 1797-d. Jun 1860; m. Nancy Edmonson), Mary, Eliza (m. John Camp), Selena, and Zeke. Note that John married a woman with probable Cherokee connections during the same general time period when Absalom’s father or grandfather must have done the same. Betty died in 1809 and John married 2nd on 3 May 1811 (also in Pendleton Dist.) Elizabeth J. “Jincy” Stephenson b. 1775-d. 15 Jul 1855 in MS. They had children: Andrew Jackson (b. 24 Jul 1818 in Jefferson Co, AL - d. 17 Nov 1898 in TX; mar. Caroline Crawford), Julia Ann, Owen, Lucinda, Early Young (b. 1829-d. 1855), Emily Jane, and Arkansas. Evidently, John and family moved with his father to Elberton, GA. He then moved in 1817 to Jefferson County, AL; and, moved in 1838 to Watkins Co, MS. He also lived in Oktibbeha Co, Starkville, and Choctaw Co, MS, where he d. 8 Aug 1847. He is said to have been buried in Bethlehem Cemetery, First Baptist Church Grounds, Under Fellowship Hall. 3. George Washington Brown b. abt 1787, son of John Henry? and Betty Crawford Brown. On 3 Mar 1808, he married Jane Barton (daughter of Benjamin Barton) in Pickens Co, SC. They had children: Annie C. (b. 12 Feb 1808-d. 17 Feb 1873 bur. White Rock Cemetery in Robertson Co, TX; mar. James M. Bates from KY. Their daughter Elizabeth Jane “Aunt Jenny” Bates Brooks left a very colorful history in Jefferson Co, AL), Earl Anderson (b. 1810-d. 1891 ; lived in Rusk, Cherokee Co, TX), Benjamin (b. 1811), George, Martha (1854 mar. William Hittson in Rusk Co, TX), Lucinda. 4. Earl Anderson Brown b. 1810, son of George Washington and Jane Barton Brown. In 1851 in TX, he mar. Mary Nail. Their children were: Selena Frances (b. 28 Jan 1837-d. 9 Dec 1890 in Denver, CO; mar. cattle baron John Nathan “Jack” Hittson), George Tilmon (b. 1841-d. 1918 in Cherokee Co, TX), Nathan, Elizabeth Jane (b. 13 May 1844 in Lauderdale Co, MS-d. 21 Jul 1932 in Bosque, TX; mar. Preston Harrison Owens). 5. George Tilmon Brown b. 1841-d. 1918 in Cherokee Co, TX. I don’t know who he married. He had two sons: -Jess Earl Brown was the father of Grady Jess Brown, Dan Willis’s DNA match. -James Isham Brown b. 1867-d. 1930 Robertson Co, TX -Gilford Madison Brown b. 1896-d. 1960 Thornton, TX -Joe Madison Brown b. 08 Jan 1928 in Thornton, TX; an executive with Dell Publishing Co, he moved to New York; then retired back to TX, where he died 05 Jul 2009. -Kenneth Wayne Brown b. 1956 in Fort Worth, TX; still lives in NY -Kenneth Christopher “KC” Brown b. 1982 in Sleepy Hollow, NY. He is our Facebook Friend, who contacted Chuck and me when he made the DNA connection. He married Lauren just before Chistmas 2010 ____________________________________________________ fFor detailed study of the property changes for Pendelton district in which Brown participated and the entire Tennesse, North adn Carolina developed see the excellent research submitted by evick915 to Erika's Family Tree 29 Nov 1789 North Carolina Land Grant to Absalom Browne 1789 Pendelton District formed from Indian Land 27 Oct 1795 Pendelton District, South Carolina--Witnessed land sale from Thomas Crow to John Brown for L 5 stg. for 200 acres on Brushy Creek of the Saluda River granted to Crow by States Title Patent by William Moultrie 1 July 1793.

| 360 | Early on the morning of July 11th, 2012, Amond Douglas Brownlow (most knew him as Doug or Douglas), passed away. His wife Edna (formerly Edna Johns) of more than 55 years, was holding his hand as he began his second great journey. His first journey began with his birth in Floresville, Texas on September 2nd, 1934. His mother was Theresa Brownlow (formerly Theresa Ball of Elmendorf, Texas) and his father was Amond Brownlow. He was their only child. Douglas grew up in the small community of Saspamco, Texas, where his mother was a schoolteacher and postmaster and his father, Amond, worked for the pipe manufacturing company which forms the name Saspamco (San Antonio Sewer Pipe and Manufacturing Company). Living in the "company house" which doubled as the post office, times were challenging for everyone as the family weathered the great depression and World War II. The banks of the San Antonio River and Calaveras Creek were Doug's playground. His closest friends included several of the Johns' boys (Francis and Lester), Joe Lydell Tackitt, Jr., and Travis Mumme (currently of Taft, Texas). Tragically, in 1948, when Douglas was just 14 years old, a car accident in San Antonio claimed his mother Theresa and gravely injured his father, Amond. During the recovery of his father, Douglas moved to Floresville where he lived with his aunt and at the age of 15, graduated from Floresville High School in 1950. After graduation, being so young, his father felt Doug would benefit from a few years at a small local university before going off to college Doug enrolled in Schreiner Institute in Kerrville, Texas (now Schreiner College). In 1952, having just turned 18, Doug was off to Texas A&I in Kingsville, Texas. In May of 1956, he graduated with a B.S. Degree in Chemical Engineering. It was during the weekend trips home from both Kerrville and Kingsville, that Douglas met the love of his life, Edna Johns. Edna was the youngest daughter of Bruno and Edith Johns and younger sister to Doug's best friends Lester and Francis. Shortly after Doug's graduation from A&I, he and Edna were married on June 22nd, 1957, in St. Anthony's Catholic Church, in Elmendorf, Texas. The young couple's first house was in Rivera, Texas, on the banks of Baffin Bay, just south of Kingsville, Texas. Doug was working as a junior engineer for a chemical company, producing sea salt from the highly saline waters of Baffin Bay. In 1958, Doug and Edna packed up and moved to Houston with Doug working for Dixie Chemical Company. Shortly thereafter, their first son, Jeffrey was born. Their second son Mark, followed in 1959. Late 1960, found the family of four moving from Houston to Bartlesville, Oklahoma, where Doug worked as an engineer for the U.S. Bureau of Mines. Two more Brownlow boys were introduced to the world, Kevin in 1962, and Darrell, in 1964. While Oklahoma had certainly been good to the young family, their hearts were back in Texas. Doug's in-laws (Bruno and Edith Johns) also wanted their daughter and new grandkids home, so as an incentive, they agreed to sell to Doug & Edna a small tract of sand covered land on the edge of a peanut field along US 181 in northern Wilson County. In 1965, when an engineering position opened up in San Antonio at Southwest Research Institute (SWRI), the family of six, began planning their return. While living temporarily in a small home in San Antonio near the Institute, Doug & Edna contracted a home builder and water well driller and by 1968, their four boys had a new home and a backyard where they could hunt and fish to their hearts content. In early 1969, as a "housewarming" present, Edna gave Doug his fifth and final son, Collen. It is remarkable to think that in just slightly over 20 years, young Douglas, an only child, who had nearly been orphaned, was now the father of five boys. Just as remarkable was how the situation had changed for Doug's father Amond, who now had five grandsons. Doug worked for Southwest Research Institute for nearly 30 years, retiring in 1996. He accomplished many things and had many professional successes. He developed expertise in the field of automotive engines, fuels and lubricants technology. He traveled across the world to oversee engineering projects and perform research, and along the way he developed many friendships. He participated in and was actively involved in many local organizations including the Wilson County Republican Party, the Texas Farm Bureau, the Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association, and for several years was Governor George W. Bush's appointee to the Evergreen Underground Water Conservation District. His accomplishments are many and the details could fill volumes. However, here are the most important ones: He was kind and forgiving. He was gentle and polite. He was courteous to women and respectful to men. He did not see color. He did not measure people by their wealth or lack thereof. He was selfless and would give the proverbial "shirt off his back" to help someone in need, and he did many times. He was passionate in his beliefs but measured in his actions. He loved his dad and his mom. He believed in God and supported his Church. Like his own dad, he sacrificed much to make sure his boys had every opportunity, and he was always there for them. He taught his sons how to work cattle and build fence at their ranch in Millet, as well as how to hunt and shoot guns. He especially loved saltwater fishing and instilled that same love for the sea in all of his boys. He also loved his blue heeler dogs. As much as actually doing things, he loved equally writing about all the things he did. But more than anything, he loved his wife. Doug is survived by his wife Edna, their five sons, three daughter in-laws, two grandsons, five granddaughters, one step granddaughter, one step grandson, and one great granddaughter, and two blue heelers. Visitation began at 5:00 P.M. Thursday, and a rosary was recited at 7:00 P.M. Thursday, July 12, 2012, at Vinyard Funeral Home, Floresville. The Funeral Mass was celebrated at 9:00 A.M. Friday, July 13, 2012, at St. Anthony's Catholic Church, Elmendorf, followed by interment at St. Anthony's Cemetery, Elmendorf, Texas. Serving as pallbearers were Zachary Forrest Rhodes, Dustin Travis Brownlow, Joshua Wayne Brownlow, Travis Mumme, Richard "Bucky" Ball, and Keith Brownlow. | Brownlow, Amond Douglas (I8446)

He married Sarah McClain (born 1798 GA) near Winchester, Franklin County, Tennessee on July 29, 1812. Edmund and Sarah became parents of Hettie (Rutherford), Rebecca (Chapman), Abel, Isaac James, Benjamin M., Parthenia (Speer), Jacob Mickler and Sarah (Hallmark). The last account of Sarah McClain Hodges was when she was listed as a War of 1812 widow in Limestone County, Texas in the 1883 SENATE EX. DOCUMENT #84. Edmund was in War of 1812.

EDMUND2 HODGES (ABEL1) was born 1794 in South Carolina, and died 31 Jul 1831 in TN. He married SARAH MCCLAIN 29 Jul 1812 in near Winchester, TN, daughter of THOMAS MCCLAIN and REBECCA WARREN. She was born 1797 in Georgia. On July 29, 1812, Edmund Hodges and Sarah McClain were united in marriage near Winchester, Tenn. Sarah was born in Georgia in 1797. Her parents were Thomas William McClain and Rebecca Warren. Edmund and Sarah were the parents of Hetty, Rebecca, Abel, Isaac James, Benjamin Minor, Parthenia, and Jacob Mickler Hodges. Also, there may have been another daughter named Sarah, who some say married a Goodwin, but this has not been substantiated. You will note on the 1850 census of Houston County there was a Sarah Hodges, age 34 in the household of James Hallmark, a young family who are later connected with the Hodges in another County. You will find family group sheets which give information on various family members attached to this account. Edmund Hodges died July 31, 1831, near Bolivar, TN. Hetty Hodges married Lindsey J. Rutherford, said to have been fond of horse racing. Rebecca married Robert D. Chapman. Abel, our ancestor, married Sarah Chapman July 12, 1836, in Hardeman County, TN. They, along with the Chapman's, Rutherfords, and other families, came to TX in 1837, the year Houston County was established. It was the first one to be established in the new republic and was named for the republic's president, Gen. Sam Houston. Abel's and Sarah's first child, Sarah Jane, was born in Shelby County while they were on the way to Houston County. Abel's mother and other members of the family, apparently came later and are listed on the 1850 census of Houston Co. Abel's brothers, Isaac and Benjamin, and sister Parthenia, settled in the southern part of Houston Co., Parthenia married Andrew J. Speer. Benjamin married Andrew's sister, Mary Speer, and Isaac married Alcinda Alexander, whose family came from Ohio. The 1860 census of Houston Co., lists Isaac, wife Alcinda, and seven children; Benjamin, wife Mary and five children; Andrew Speer, wife Parthenia and seven children. Their P.O. was Prairie, Tex. This was the Prairie Point community some four miles west of Lovelady on Nevel's Prairie, The Speer Cemetery is at Prairie Point. (Go to findagrave.com) HCHC is in the process of adding info to that site. Jacob Mickler Hodges married Mary Rutherford in Limestone Co., and lived and died there. Abel was given a land grant of 1280 acres, located on the head-waters of hickory Creek. He later sold most of it to an agent of M. B. Lamar, with the exception of the pre-emotion grant of 287 acres, located 13 miles east of Crockett, in what is now the Center Hill community. The local P.O. was at Randolph at that time. In those early days, groups of unfriendly Indians roamed the land and were a constant threat to the settlers. Able was paid $23 once for his help in fighting the Indians. Benjamin Hodges fought in the Mexican War. He enlisted at Crockett on June 19, 1846. Benjamin, wife Mary, their children and their spouses, are all buried in Clear Creek Cemetery in Leon County. Mrs. Etta Hearron, a great granddaughter, lives in Flynn, TX. Andrew J. Speer enlisted in Wortham's Co., Confederate Army in 1863. He apparently became ill (possibly small pox) and came home where he and wife, Parthenia, both died leaving seven minor children. Andrew's sister, Rebecca, and her husband, Cedar Brent, were appointed as guardians of the children by probate court, and reared them in the Holly community. One of Parthenia's great granddaughters, Virginia S. Briggs, lives in Franklin, TX. After the Civil War a number of Hodges families and relatives moved to Bell County and established a regular colony. Later, some move to Limestone County and Leon County. In 1875, Abel and most of his family, including his mother, were living at Kosse, TX. It is said that there was a big Hodges reunion held in Waco circa 1882, and that there were over 900 in attendance. In 1890, Rebecca Chapman, a former resident of Houston Co., was living in McLennon Co., and come to visit relatives on Nevel's Prairie. James Felix, oldest son of Able, married Mary P. Mason in 1861. Mary was born in Miss. Aug. 4, 1844. Her father, Ed Mason, was a red headed Irishman. He was a Methodist preacher, school teacher, and a song writer. James Felix and Mary lived and raised their family on his dad's old home place, now known as the Alex Morgan place in the Center Hill Community. Their children were: Robert Felix, b.

About. 1680 Some say Edward was from Wales; others say from Kent in England, Boddie says there is no support for the Welch origin. Apparently the line begins in a Celtic tribe, Boi, that moved to Belgium, and then to the British Isles. A Boykin was granted arms in Belgium in 1286. There i s a John Boykin in Huntingdon shire, England in 1327 Edward was granted land in the Isle of Wright Co., VA by Francis, Lord Howard, Governor of Virginia and was living in Virginia in 1678 Boddie gives a date of death as Jan. 4, 1725, the date of his will. It was probated 27 May 1728 ********* Was the first Boykin in America coming from Caernarvonvshire, Wales after receiving a land grant during 1685 in Isle of Wight County, VA. Obtained more grants in 1715, 1724 and 1725 in the same area which is now part of Southampton, Va. His will was written 4 Jan. 1725 and probated May 1728. Edward Boykin was born about 1650 in Lamarch County Essex, England and died on 27 April 1728 in Isle of Wight, VA. General Notes: Before settling in VA the Boykin family lived in Charing Cross, Kent, England according to the Boykin Book by Anne Jacobs Boykin Murphy. The book The History of Camden by Kirkland states that he came from Caernarvonshire, Wales. Edward settled in the Blackwater Country of VA. On 4/20/1685 he was granted 525 acres of land in Isle of Wight County, VA by Francis, Lord Howard, Governor of VA for the transportation of eleven persons into the Colony. In 1678 Edward and JamesManning had land adjoinging that of Nicholas Cobb. He is shown as having land adjoining William Cook 4/39/1693. On 4/25/1701 he received a grant for 200 acres on North side of Seacock Swamp. 11/13/1713 he was granted 190 acres on South side of the Main Blackwater Swamp in Isle of Wight County VA. On 6-16-1714 he received a grant for 160 acres on the south side of the main Blackwater Swamp in Isle of Wight County, VA. On 3-23-1715 he received a grant for 145 acres on the south side of the main Blackwater Swamp in Isle of Wight County, VA. These records from Land Office Patents & Grants/Northern Neck Grants & Surveys Records. Edward Boykin's will is dated 1728, Will Book Vol. 3, 1726-1734, page 221-223 & probated 5-27-1728 From the works of Lynch Horry Deas Boykin, Jr.: "From the noted Boykin (Boiken) reference it appears the family was of Flemish Celt origin. The Boykin family was successfully established in the jurisdiction of Brusselles and Breda as early as 1286. At least one of the family must have migrated to England and was paying taxes in Huntingshire by 1327. A Jarvis or Jervase Boykin, came to Charlestown, Mass. from Charing Cross, Kent, England with one servant in 1635/6. He, a carpenter, moved to New Hampshire in 1639. He married and had issue: Nathaniel Boykin, b. 1641, bapt. 9-11-1642;Bethia Boykin, bapt 4-30-1643; Sarah Boykin, 1-18-1646. He died Jan 1662 leaving widow and children Nathaniel, Sarah and a daughter Bethia (Boykin) Dennison. My uncle, Lemuel Whitaker Boykin (Buck), b. 11-28-1861, d. 6-4-1932, always contended the Boykins came from Russia. While I was employed at Brooklyn Botanic Gardens (1955-1958), I was informed of a town of Boykin, in White Russia, by one of the Garden's security guards, who was a native of that area. Elizabeth McCrae (Boykin) Wells, a columnist who started out in New York City, travelled widely through Europe, Asia and Africa informed me, some fellow columnist from Russia, told her in 1932 of a town called Boykin, in White Russia. There are no records of any Boykins in Virginia preceding to 1670. On the records are many New Englanders having come down to Birinia by water as this mode of transportation to and from Virginia and New England Colonies was used almost entirely. The Boykin family in Virginia may have migrated from New England to Virginia, however, the first Boykin appears in Virginia records in 1670 as Edward Boykin. He is referred to as a boy. He rented or leased land in that year (1670 by Fathergill). HISTORY AND GENEALOGY OF THE BOYKIN FAMILY, by Anne Jacobs (Boykin) Murphy (Mrs. Robert Neal Murphy), p. 1-5. Edward Boykin, b. about 1650, possilby came to Virginia with friends or relatives; as a family member, and included in sponsors land patent. Records in Co., Kent, England, refer to the Boykin Family as Yeomen (a gentleman farmer, who owns a small estate in land). Before 1635, the family resided in Charing Cross, Co. Kent. Edward settled in the Blackwater country of Upper Parish of the Isle of Wight Co., VA. In 1685, he was granted 525 acres of land by Francis, Lord Howard, Governor of Virginia, in Isle of Wight Co., for transportation of eleven persons into the colony, etc. 4-20-1685 (p. 580 SEVENTEENTY CENTURY ISLE OF WIGHT). In 1678, before his grant, he owned land. On 7-3-1678, Edward Boykin had land adjoining that of Nicholas Cobb, who sold Thomas Tooke land adjacent to Edward Boykin. On 1-23-1690, Edward Boykin had land grant from Nathaniel Bacon for transportation of four persons, 162 acres (Ibid. p. 605). Arthur Allen sold him 525 acres at Blackwater, 8-9-1692 (Ibid. p. 649). Again on 2-5-1702, Arthur Allen of Lawnes Creek Parish, Surry Co., sells to Edward Boykin, Upper Parish of Isle of Wight Co., on half of 800 acres of land granted said Arthur Allen and Wm. Edwards, late of James City (Ibid. p. 649). Edward Boykin held 1100 acres of land in the Quit Rents of 1704 (Ibid. p. 698; HISTORICAL SOUTHERN FAMILIES: II: 116; THE PLANTER OF COLONIAL VIRGINIA, by Baker, p. 195) Edward Boykin, Sr. was approximately twenty-eight years of age in 1678, a land owner, planter home owner and probably had a wife with whom to share his residence. It is the opinion that Ann Gwaltney was his second wife, for reasons as follows: 1) John Boykin was named co-executor in the Will of his father. The English law of premeogeniture sates the right of the eldest son to inherit the property, title, etc., of the parent to the exclusion of all other children. 2) William Gwaltney, Sr's Will item, states, " I give my Grandson, Edward Boykin one cow", which suggest that Edward Jr., was the first born of Edward Sr, and Ann (Gwaltney) Boykin. 3) Age of Edward Sr., born 1650 and Ann, born c. 1686 4) John Boykin's descendants are a full generation ahead of his brothers Edward Jr., William and Thomas by the year 1777; that is, John's lineage had advanced to the sixth generation. The other three lines seem to have reached the fifth generation by end of 1780. (Chart by Richard Manning Boykin, p. 7). It is probable that Edward Boykin, Sr's first wife was Miss Marshall and the mother of John Boykin. John Marshall bought land in Isle of Wight Co., VA in 1683 had sons, John and Humphrey, whos family also had issues. (SEVENTEENTH CENTURY OF ISLE OF WIGHT) | Boykin, Edward (I5818)

| 379 | Entombed July 23, 2002 The following obituary was submitted by FAG volunteer SK (#46635651) CRISWELL, MABEL ANN went home to be with the Lord on Saturday, July 20, 2002 at Baylor Medical Center. She was surrounded by her family and friends. For the past several years she had been in poor health and most recently suffered from cancer. Throughout her illness she had shown her family real strength and courage. Ann was born in Chickasha, Oklahoma on June 27, 1939 to Dr. Wallie Amos and Betty Harris Criswell. She came to Dallas in October of 1944 when her father assumed the pastorate of the First Baptist Church in Dallas. She grew up in the church and later attended Baylor University. Ann was extremely talented in music and traveled with her father in early years as he preached revivals across the land. She sang like her father preached, with fervor, and with a loud and thunderous voice. She became well-known for her rendition of "The King Is Coming" and was privilege to record two albums with the great conductor Ralph Carmichael. Preceded in death by her father, Ann is survived by her mother, Betty Criswell, two sons and their families; Cris and Rachel Criswell, and their children, William, Allsion and Abbey; Paul Daniel and Krestense Jackson, and their children, Shaylee and Samuel Andrew. Her sons, Cris and Paul, grew up in First Baptist Church and attended First Baptist Academy. For the past seven years, Ann had worked diligently on a project she loved and cherished at The Criswell Foundation. She wanted so very much to prepare and present to the world the life's work and writing of her famous father through media, internet and print. Due to her dream and efforts, and with the help of many others, 2000 of her father's sermons are available to the world and young preachers across the land at wacriswell.com. When Ann was around, you knew of her presence. Her vibrant and vivacious personality, along with her tremendous sense of humor, would permeate the room. There will be a void for many and Ann will be greatly missed. The last remembrance of Ann in the minds and hearts of many people will be when she stood by her father's grave looking toward heaven and sang "Finally Home" without any instruments and not missing a single note. We know now she would tell us that pain has ended and she is in a much better place. In recent months, she expressed her readiness to meet the Lord for she was confident "The King Is Coming" and soon, praise God, He'd be coming for her. Funeral services will be in The Sanctuary of First Baptist Church at 12:00 Noon, Tuesday, July 23. The family will receive friends in Coleman Hall immediately following the service. Private Entombment will be at Hillcrest Memorial Park. Memorials may be given to The Criswell Foundation, P.O. Box 710296, Dallas, Texas 75371.

His records show him in Dallas Texas on Oct 27, 1917. Next he was in Naval training at Great Lakes Naval Station, Illinois. 10-27-17 to 11-30-17 He served on two known ships. The first was the USS Wisconsin from Nov 30, 1917 to Feb 1, 1918. The Wisconsin returned to the York River region early in October and resumed her training activities in that locale, operating primarily in the Chesapeake Bay area. Wisconsin continued that duty into the spring of 1918, interrupting her training evolutions between 30 October and 18 December 1917 for repairs at the Philadelphia Navy Yard. He then was stationed at Norfork Va. from Feb 4, 1918 to Feb 14, 1918 where he was assigned to the USS Dochra on Feb 15, 1917 to Nov 11, 1918. Here are the notes on the Dochra. USS Dochra (ID # 1758), 1917-1919 USS Dochra, a 4309 gross ton (10,000 tons displacement) cargo ship, was built in 1906 at Newcastle, England, as a commercial freighter. Acquired by the Navy in October 1917, she was placed in commission at that time. During and after World War I she carried cargo between U.S. and Canadian ports and those in Europe. In March and April 1919 the ship also made a voyage to Cuba. Her mundane service was enlivened at the beginning of July 1918, when she survived an exchange of gunfire with the German submarine U-151. USS Dochra was decommissioned in May 1919 and transferred to the United States Shipping Board for return to her owners, Barber & Company of New York City. After the sinking of the Augwald, the U-151 nosed northeasterly in the first stage of the course around the north of the British Isles and, in so doing, encountered several armed ships from a convoy that had been scattered by storm. The first of these was the British steam ship Glenlee, which, with a dozen other vessels, had started from New York, on June 15, under convoy of the US cruiser Columbia. The Glenlee had fallen far behind the rest and at 7a.m. on June 25, was intercepted by the U-151 in 40’N., 49’W. The British gunners offered so effective a resistance that the enemy finally gave up the attack, but not before the ship’s wireless calls had been caught by the rest of the convoy. One of these, the United States Navy cargo carrier Dochra, had also become separated from the convoying cruiser, and the U-151 located it, at 7p.m. the same day, in 40’25” N., 47’ 29” W. The Dochra was carrying a cargo of hydroplanes to France, and would have been a valuable addition to the enemy’s toll. The submarine opened fire at a distance of a mile and a half, firing three shots, all of which fell astern. The Dochra replied with ten shells from its 4-inch guns and the aim of the navy gunners was too close to the U-151 for comfort. The U-boat submerged and it was feared it would try and run up close and undetected and torpedo the steamer. The convoying cruiser, far ahead with the main part of the fleet, solved this danger by ordering the Dochra to return to Halifax. This was taken from the Manuscript narrative, Robert W. Martz, USN. Discharged April 28, 1919 Brownlow Eugene A -- [Service Number] 001137171, [Date of Enlistment] 10/27/1917 Inducted From: Texas Rank: Fireman 1 Class Combat Organization: United States Navy Death Date: 14 Jan 1946 Eugene Albert Brownlow won the World War I Victory Medal and was authorized to wear the Armed Guard and Transport clasps.

Kennedy issued Executive Order 11016 in April 1962 that further extended eligibility to "any civilian national of the United States, who while serving under competent authority in any capacity with an armed force…, has been, or may hereafter be, wounded" and authorized posthumous award of the medal. By these orders Eugene Albert Brownlow was awarded 2 Purple Hearts. Eugene Married Rosilla Rogers in McLennan County, Texas May 31st, 1919.
