Dear Norma I have been chasing this family for some time. The Brawner family living at Bull Run were not the owners of the farm, they were tenant farmers. The family were Capt. John C Brawner and his wife Jane Clark. They were married in Westmoreland County 13 January 1827. I have not been able to discover much more about their parents. I have a strong suspicion that this John C fits into my family of John Cornish Brawner, but cannot find any further evidence to support that feeling. Capt John C Brawner applied for compensation to the damage done to his farm during the battle, but was refused since he was not the owner of the land. This is his family, as I have it right now. Descendants of John C Brawner 1 John C Brawner 1798 - 1880 .. +Jane Clark 1806 - 1877 ........ 2 Mary V Brawner 1826 - ........ 2 George W Brawner 1828 - 1868 ............. +Susan Bott 1817 - ................... 3 Mary T Brawner 1858 - ........ 2 Martha C Brawner 1830 - 1860 ............. +Charles B Smith 1825 - ........ 2 Sarah J Brawner 1831 - ............. +Jesse L Rice 1824 - ........ 2 John Brawner 1833 - 1855 ........ 2 James Brawner 1836 - 1865 ............. +Cornelia 1837 - ........ 2 Susan Brawner 1837 - ........ 2 Charles H Brawner 1840 - ............. +Frances Matilda (Brawner) Shepherd 1838 - 1917 ................... 3 George Brawner 1872 - ................... 3 Lloyd Brawner 1875 - ........................ +Ida Athey ................... 3 Henry Brawner 1879 - Fanny Shepherd was the daughter of William Lloyd Brawner and Lucy Ann Webster and sister of my Lucy Ann (Brawner) Clark who married John Thomas Brawner as his second wife (his first wife was Mary Catherine Speake). John Thomas was the son of Henry Brawner and Elizabeth Annis and grandson of John Cornish Brawner. I do not know if William Clark (who married L A B) was related to Jane Clark. It is certain, however, that the John Brawner of Brawners Farm was not the John Brawner who married Nancy Ann Speake. Cheers Lynne Simpson Canberra Australia
