To all BROWNLOW researchers: Much incorrect information about my direct ancestor has been posted on the internet by well-meaning researchers. I need to provide the following correct documentation that is supported by various, legal documents. I have supported documentation on the following Brownlow genealogy. I welcome any comments or questions. Thank you for all your help, Leland Carter, Great-grandson Brownlow Descendant HUGH COOK BROWNLOW (my g-grandfather) was born February 28, 1845 in Giles County TN and died January 10, 1895 in Henderson County TX. He is buried in the Brownlow family plot at Leagueville Cemetery in Henderson County. His gravesite was originally marked with a homemade marker. I recently took this marker down and the grave is now marked with a Confederate tombstone. His parents were WILLIAM BROWNLOW & ELIZABETH COOK BROWNLOW. Hugh's middle name is from his mother's maiden name: ELIZABETH COOK. Hugh, also called "Cook" married JANE F. GREER (Jenny) abt 1873, probably in or near Obion County TN. Jane was the daughter of "MARTHA GREER" b. 1835. The name of Jane's father is unknown. Jane had a brother, William, he was 2 years older. HUGH COOK BROWNLOW & JANE had 4 children: NETTIE LORRAINE BROWNLOW born 1874 in TN, died September 10, 1947 Van Zandt County TX, buried in Corinth Cemetery in Grand Saline TX. She married three times, REEVES, KING, HAYNES. HENRY FRANKLIN BROWNLOW (my grandfather) born December 5, 1876 in Kenton, Obion County TN, died October 16, 1952 in Tyler, Smith County TX, buried in the Brownlow family plot at Leagueville Cemetery in Henderson County TN. He was married two times: ADDIE ROZELLA HERRING and NANCY JANE WILLIAMS. FRANCES (FANNIE) BROWNLOW born November 26, 1880 in TN, died September 03, 1917, TX. These dates are my weakest links, recorded in the Family Bible, she died during the national flu epidemic. Fannie married BEN WILLIAMS. They lived in Paris TX, burial sites are unknown. MATTIE COOK BROWNLOW born November 30, 1885 in TN, died December 07, 1971 in Henderson County TX. She is buried in the Brownlow family plot at Leagueville Cemetery in Henderson County. Mattied married ROBERT LEE PARKER. A premature son was born to Hugh & Jane, and died a few days later. This was between 1880-1885. Exact dates of birth/death are unknown. The above are the ONLY children born to Hugh & Jane Brownlow. Jane died between 1885 and 1890. Cause & date of death and place of burial is unknown. Would like to hear from anyone with information. I've recently learned that in 1885 there was a small pox epidemic in Obion & Gibson Counties and many people died with complications, but have no proof that Jane died of the pox. She may have died in childbirth. After Jane's death, Hugh and the 4 children left TN and moved to Henderson County TX, settled in the community known as Brownsboro. Hugh's mother-in-law, Martha Greer, came with Hugh. My grandfather told me that one morning Hugh went to town and bought a new suit. He went home, put the suit on, called Martha to the room. He told her to put the suit in the closet, that he would be wearing it "in a few days". He died suddenly within the week. My grandfather assisted in the funeral arrangements. There is no doubt as to where Hugh died, when he died, and where he is buried. Thank you for permitting me to "speak my piece".
