Hello Brownlie folks, I have the following BROWNLIE ancestors: My Great Grandmother was CATHERINE BROWNLIE b.15 Oct 1837 in Pettinain, Lanarkshire, Scotland. She married THOMAS LIGHTBODY on 30 Dec. 1859 in Dalziel, Lanark and died 9 Jan. 1885 in Kilncadzow, Lanark. Her father was: WILLIAM BROWNLIE b. 5 Aug. 1810 in Meadowflat, Covington, Lanark. He married MARGARET SMITH 10 Jan. 1836 in Lanark, Lanark. He died 30 Nov. 1861 at Knowe Top, Dalziel, Lanark. His father was: ALEXANDER BROWNLIE b. 19 May 1789 in Braeside, Covington, Lanark. He married MARION LIGHTBODY in Covington and he died 21 Aug. 1851 in Covington, Lanark. His father was: WILLIAM BROWNLIE who married MARGARET PATON 14 Jan 1782 in Carmichael, Lanark and died 11 Sept 1806 in Covington. My other BROWNLIE line begins with my 7th Generation with : CATHERINE BROWNLIE b. Abt. 1740 in Lanark. She married JAMES LINDSAY 3 Aug 1764 in Pettinain, Lanark. She died 8 Feb 1824 at Eastfield, Pettinain, Lanark. I would love to know if anyone else out there is working on these lines. Thanks, Donna Logan in Southern Oregon

Don, Do you have any information on Ann Brownlee who bought land in Collenton Co. ? Is she part of your line? I'm wondering if she is John's wife the one I'm looking for. Susan

Thanks for sending this, Ian. I have looked at Sherri's home page and it is excellent. I've put a link to it from my home page. Betty

Hi Bridget. Thank you for the Brownlee information. I think I have some information on John Brownlee and wife, Eliza Rush, but hadn't been able to connect them to the John Brownlee in Brooke Co. VA. I'm still hazy on John, the Rev. soldier who died in Brooke Co. VA. In Dale Armstrong's latest publication he shows him as the brother of my ancestor, James Brownlee. I know James had a brother, John, and I'm pretty sure they both moved from Lancaster Co. to Washington Co. and served in the Rev. from there. I think Dale is probably right about James and the Brooke Co. John being brothers, but some of his dates don't work. John's (Brooke Co.) pension application clearly gives his age as 72 in 1820 which would place his birth at ca. 1748. Since he and two sisters were baptized at the same time in 1751 in Lancaster Co. PA by Rev. Cuthbertson, I would guess that they were all born after the family left Scotland. The father John, according to Lanarkshire Parish Records, was born in 1699 at Torfoot. John (b. 1699) was Archibald's brother. The confusion started when several of the bios in the Washington Co. History listed my James as a brother to Archibald, even though there was nearly 40 years difference in their ages. He was actually a nephew. Only the bio of Ner O. Brownlee got it right. It states that "...cousins, James and John Brownlee, each took up 600 acres." I'll be happy to send you what I have on my line, Bridget. I hope that together we can sort this all out. Betty

OK here goes...This is what I have. Including the Kit Brownlee you are looking for, Bill. Or at least I beleive so. My Brownlees start with John Brownlee born 1714 in Scotland (of the Torfoot Brownlee's). According to a letter written by Martin Dale Armstrong to the SW Pa Genealogical Society..he beleives this James to be brother to Archibald who came to Washington and settled. I don't have the letter in front of me at the moment but will copy it for the newgroup as soon as I get all my stuff unpacked...Just moved. Any way from the looks of it the John Brownlee that fought in the Revolution must have been his son...He enlisted in Washington Co., PA then settled in Brooke Co., VA/W.VA after the war. Here is where I am fuzzy....Unsure of his son's name but beleive it to be Walter...Am still looking for confirmation on that. Walter? would have had a son named Thomas Brownlee born unk and died c.1840 (Betty, this comes from some of the info you sent me from Salt Lake, thanks). Thomas was married to Julian or Juliane. Thomas and Juliane had the following children: John, Elizabeth, William, and possibly Martin, and James. Julian was living with John and his family in I beleive the 1850 census. Sorry I'm not clear on all...Have alot still on paper and packed away. John was born in 1821 in Greensville, VA and married Eliza Ann Rush (b.3-13-1832 and dau. of Conrad Rush and unk). Eliza is buried in the Washington Cemetary in Washington PA. There children are as follows: Robert Wells Brownlee (my ancestor, we'll get to him later), James Brownlee-c.1863, William Edward Brownlee-c.1855, Absalom Brownlee-April 11, 1857(m. Rose Allen), Walter Brownlee-c.1859, Catherine V. Brownlee-c.1861, John Brownlee-c.1863, Mary E. Brownlee-c.1867, and Marshall Henry Brownlee-June 8, 1872 (m. Jessie Batson). Robert Wells Brownlee was born June 9, 1850 in Wellsburg, VA adn died Mrch 19, 1915 in Washington, PA. His wife was Josephine McCamic, dau of Isaac McCamic and Sarah Piersol. Josephine was b. Jan 6, 1853 and died Nov 29, 1936. Both are buried in the Washington Cemetary. Their children: Nancy E.-c.1874, Eliza J.-3/1875, Samuel P.-12/3/1876 (m. Beatrice Donnelly), Archie Craycraft (my ancestor)-8/26/1879 (m. Ida Mae Algeo), Sallie-1/1882, Fannie- 3/1882, Pearl-6/27/1885 (m. ____ Hunt), William D.-4/7/1888 (m. Rebecca Abramson), Kittie- 11/1889, Grace-6/1894, and Janette-7/1897. I have more information, including the descendants of Archie Craycraft Brownlee and Ida Mae Algeo. Let me know if this helps anyone. Also I have just moved home to Washington County so if anyone needs any local info let me know...I will do what I can. Bridget Shaw Avery [email protected]

That's why it's best to throw it into the forum and get the thoughts from everyone elses head as well. Good thought though. Once the book is ready to print, it is ready also for CD. I guess personally I would have both. To me, I don't know, maybe I've got to change my thinking, but there is something about seeing a good printed work on paper. But yes it's an exellent thought. Can't answer your queries so I have posted this to the group. Thanks again, Ian

Hi Bridget: My original Torfoot ancestor to Washington was Archibald Brownlee and his wife Margaret Hamilton. They arrived to Lancaster Cty (which included Washington Cty at the time) in 1752. Several of Archibald's cousins and siblings traveled to the area at other times. There are several Brownlee and Hamilton grave sites in church yards and in private lots in the county. I would be willing to trade information to help illuminate any questions you may have on the Brownlee's in Washington Co. In fact, since you live there, you may know much more than I know. Do you keep your records in an electronic format using a commercial software package (i.e. Family Tree Maker or other)? Did you know there is an original Brownlee farmhouse and land on the Nat'l Register for Historic places right there in Washington Co? It is quite fantastic and in wonderful condition. I have lived in Pittsburgh for twenty years with my family but am now living in Manhattan, NY. Mark Mark, Which of the Washington County Brownlee's? My grandfather was Ernest Calvin Brownlee, his family settled in Washington from W.Va, but from my research it seems the "Claysville Brownlees" and his family were descended from the same Brownlee's of Torfoot. One brother stayed in Washington and the other settled in VA/W.VA after revolution. Incidentally, I am in Canonsburg are you located in Washington County?

All of these projects discussed sound great. Interactive is the definate wave to be riding. Once a book is complete - it should be a snap to convert! Right now I am designing storyboards as I go along with my research that will someday turn into an interactive CD. What does this mean? It means that instead of having just a database of family trees or a book that you turn pages one after the other you have a multi level family storybook with music, video, photos, maps, animation and so on. You navigate through it as you want. And it is all on a writable cd. It is a huge project. Will take me years to complete. I use a program called QuarkXpress Immedia. It allows you to take designs straight to cd or web. The one area that they are working on right now is the capability to include database. Once that is done - it will be heaven. See MAC is not as database friendly in some of it's programs YET. If you have a piece of software that is friendly in all of these areas, please let me know. I have clients asking to build full interactive brochures/catalogs and I have yet to find a visual and data compatible program. Thanks Kay I love all this chatter lately - great job guys.

Should be in your major libraries over there. Anyway it is situated in Cambusnethan Parish, which comprises Wishaw, Motherwell, Newmains and Bonkle. It's about 2 to 3 miles from Wishaw and about the same distance from Lanark to Strathaven as it is from Bonkle to Strathaven - in a different direction. If you drew a triangle with the base line between Lanark and Strathaven, the pointer would meet at about Bonkle. The following extract from the above book perhaps explains it "The slopes of the Clyde Valley are still covered with fruit farms and are well wooded, but when one ascends from the valley to the plateau the orchards and woodland give place to the modern town of Wishaw that stretches north-west to join with Motherwell and eastwards to run on into Newmains and Bonkle." Just as a side note the village of Brownlee is below Wishaw and I think just in the border of Cambusnethan. There exists another village of Brownlee in Ayreshire near Dundonald. Hope that helps. Regards Ian Brownlee

Yes its strange that you have received both files now and I haven't received any. I might check with Kay. Its a good idea that charts are sent to a central clearing house and I guess that would probably be best to be me. Anything that needs to be worked on could then be redirected to (whoever) I could then format the files into a pagination programme (I use Pagemaker). There would need to be some guidelines laid down so that it does not require re-keying. This is why its so important to agree on some sort chart layout as well as specifications of presentation of text for inclusion. I have noticed that some use caps a lot, and when type is supplied in caps and you need to go to lower case it requires re-keying whereas the reverse is OK. If lower case is supplied, there is a command to change to caps. I think your idea of bringing the book out after the trip to Torfoot is great, because like you say, extra information WILL be unearthed, besides up to date pics is a great idea. I must admit a Family History is incomplete without lots of pics. It pushes up the number of pages, but so what if we go to 6 volumes. The bottom line is though to get enough people to buy them when complete. I will in the meantime start working out some costings and put it to the group for feedback. Each could in turn approach their own immediate families for a response. Well that's it for now. Sounds exciting doen't it. Regards Ian PS I like your idea on the publication on Torfoot. Maybe that could be a matching volume?

(just a bit of colloquialism) Thanks for your email, from the greeting it's pretty obvious that I am in Australia. I am married with three children, Robert (21), Janine (20), Matthew (18) and a grand daughter, Chloe (7 mths). We live in the Blue Mountains, 100km west of Sydney in Katoomba which relys heavily on the tourist trade (2 million visitors per year) My background is in the Printing Industry and up until 6 months ago, I had my own Printing business (Brownlee Printing). We are still in the industry working on a commission basis and setting up a marketing business, both in Australia and Internationally. I am also touching on marketing Web Sites for a friend of mine, who owns Leisurenet. As far as genealogy goes, the interest has been there since I was about 16, when I contributed to the first edition of "The Brownlee Family" book for Allan Lindsay Arnold Brownlee. Since then - over the next 30 years (which makes me 46) I have had bursts of enthusiasm when time was to permit. In that time I have written three books, 1st a revised edition of "The Brownlee Family" which was published at a fairly stressful time of my life. I had been assisting Lindsay in research for the book and helping him put it together. People paid up front for the book to finance it and then Lindsay passed away. Before he died, he asked me to carry on the work for him and have it published. We had commenced our printing business 2 years earlier and I was working about 80 hours a week, so you can imagine the pressure of compiling charts putting together research that Lindsay had started as well as undertaking the physical printing of it and pacifying some impatient contributors threatening legal action - what a nightmare. But on a positive note, the book was published and everyone was happy and the feeling of a job well done was overwhelming. My second book was in 1988 "The Brownlee Story", on my own immediate family and the third a compilation of research I had done in the Cambusnethan Parish entitled "The Brownlees of Scotland" vol 1 - extracts from Cambusnethan Parochial Register 1634 -1854. So thats a bit of me. In regards to your admirable goal of doing a book on your family - I would recommend it, it is certainly a great sense of satisfaction to hold that first copy. Maybe submitting research for our joint cause and perhaps becoming a joint editor will give you the expertise to do a book on your own family later on. It would certainly lay a great foundation to do so. As far as to the financing the restoration of Torfoot, put your thoughts to Kay and on Rootsweb where others can contribute. The more feedback I feel the better. I noticed on a reply to Kay, you said you would volunteer to organise the planning of the trip in 2000. That's awesome! I like the idea of media coverage. I think it best for each of us to make a list of the possibilities and put it to the group for a response. I think the wilder the better because sometimes we may not say something because it sounds over the top, when in fact it isn't really. Best wishes Ian

OOPS In yesterdays email on Jane Brownlee, who married Hugh Morrah, the location for the Brownlee's that I am researching is Abbeville, South Carolina. Laura Pierson

Hi Betty My Brownlie's(IE!!) lived in Bonkle,Cambusnethan,Lanarkshire and Carluke. I can find Carluke fine but the other? If its on your map I would really like to see it. Also I would like to know if this is close to Torfoot Farm? And yes we're interested in the reunion in 2000. According to my reading (Ian's book: "The Brownlee Family") the names Brounel, Brounle, Brownele, Brounlie, Burnly, Burnley in the records from 1486 to the early 1800's may refer to the same person. So we're all probably related. Too bad its so hard to get back before 1700. I would personally like to see back to 1386. anyway thanks for the help on this.

Hi Lauren I believe I found your name on a bulliten board in Scotland. (last month) The tie between Brownlie-Forrest-Russell in Bonkle,Cambusnethan,Lanarkshire and Carluke I find interesting. I'm sure were tied back there somewhere. Not on direct line but through siblings which i'm not complete on. I'm cc'ing the Brownlee Group and they may have a tie somewhere.

Dear Frank, Perhaps the following chart may interest you if you haven't already seen it. I also have a copy of "Record of the Brownlies' of Bonkle, Cambusnethan, Lanarkshire - Their Descendants and Family Connections from 1700-1935" by John Brownie in 1934 William Brownlie in Bonkle, Lanarkshire, Scotland There were Brownlies in Bonkle, prior to 1700.
