Hi I would like to post this family information I have on the Brownlees that came from Adams County Ohio. Please read though it. There are a lot of other names that I would like to get info on. Samuel Brownlee had more children that are not listed here, one other daughter (I think) born before 1830 and two other sons, one being a son Samuel and one being my g.g.g.grandfather David Brownlee born in 1822. I have not yet found any birth records of David. And I would welcome ANY advice on how I can do that. He was Samuel First born. If anyone or any place looks familiar please email me back.

Clark, Mansillon, OH. Samuel Brownlee was a descendant of Thomas the 2nd Laird of Torfoot in Lanarkshire Scotland, through his son (unnamed) that fled to Ireland in late 1600s. Samuel stowed away in a hogshead with supplies of food and water on a ship bound for America. After some period of time, when he felt that the ship would be well to sea, he broke out of the hogshead. Unfortunately, shortly thereafter, the ship was becalmed for an extended peiod of time so that supplies began to run low, then a heavy adverse wind came up and drove them back towards land. It was growing dark as they approached the harbor & under the cover of darkness, they slipped in, restocked the ship, & sailed again before daylight and so made their way to America without further incident.
