• Notes

  Amelia died in 1862 when baby Amelia was born. Submitted On: 7 Sep 2004 - Submitted By: Sandra Brownlow - keisanb1@consolidated.net Eli Williams, who was living in NC, received a land grant in Florida from U.S. Congress in 1798 for revolutionary services. This documentation is easy to find, but I have not tied him into our line yet. But, I think he will be there. ca. 1790 a John Williams and wife, Amelia were living around the Waccasassa Marina and Levy County Boat Landing in Florida. In 1843, Amelia Williams, b. 1822 Florida, married William Monroe Brownlow. William and Amelia Williams Brownlow married in Early County, GA. in 1843. They moved immediately to Nachitoches Parrish, Louisana where their first four children (James Monroe Brownlow, Elias Albert Brownlow, Rebecca Brownlow and Mary E. Brownlow) were born. They moved on to Victoria County, Texas about 1857/8. In the 1860 Victoria County, Texas Census, there is an "N. Williams, age 18, born Florida" living with William and Amelia Brownlow and their children. In 1861/2 another baby, Amelia Brownlow II, was born. Amelia I died in 1862. William was killed in the Civil War before 1864. He had married 2nd. Malinda. Malinda changed the baby's name from Amelia II to Malinda Brownlow II according to the 1870 Census. A brother, (Benjamin Brownlow, b. Chatham County, NC) to our line moved from Guillford County, NC, to Levy County, FL. Our Brownlow's came out of VA to NC before GA, LA and Texas. (Note: It seems more likely that William Monroe Brownlow was born in SC as that is what he documented in the 1850 La Census, Gene Brownlow) Somehow, it seems logical that our Williams line migrated mostly through the same areas with the addition of Florida which was mostly populated by Native Americans at the time. If anyone has information that would help me tie any of this together, it would be appreciated.
