From Sandy Joy (Lee) Brownlow
I received your email via Bob Webb and I have some clarifications to make on your information. Cheryl Jean Brownlow was the oldest child of Helen and Bob. Cheryl’s first marriage was to Daniel O’Keefe; they had four children, Daniel, Jr is the oldest. All four of these children live in Maryland. Your information is correct regarding Tiffany. Those are the five children of Cheryl. There were no other children born with her other marriages.
Billy Bob Brownlow (no Ray in his name) was legally adopted to a childless couple by the name of Moore in Corpus Christi. Billy Bob Moore is encrypted in a cemetery in Corpus Christi, TX. He had a daughter, Jennifer, when he was married to Linda Brownlow; this daughter is younger than Cheryl’s first four children; Tiffany is Cheryl’s youngest child. After Billy and Linda divorced we lost all track of the child Jennifer Moore, as her mother broke all ties with Helen, Cheryl and Billy Bob.
So, the oldest grandchild of Robert Martin Brownlow, Jr. is Daniel O’Keefe. His phone number is 410-804-8491.
Helen married Bob Brownlow when I was three years old in 1946 or 7. I lived with them in Waco until they divorced in 1953 or 54. Florence Brownlow, Bob’s mother, also lived with us. Actually we lived in her house at 1526 N. 7th St. in Waco. After the divorce Helen, Cheryl, Billy and I moved back to Corpus Christi where Helen went to work for Civil Service at NAS Corpus Christi. At that point I moved in with my maternal grandparents and lived there until I graduated from high school.
Bob Brownlow went to Huntsville prison for manslaughter after he and Helen were divorced. He had another marriage and divorce with no children after his divorce from Helen. He apparently straightened out his life while in prison and married for a third time to a lady named Lola when he was released. Bob and Lola were living in Alameda County, California, at the time of his death.
