Title: Lettice Brownlow
Post by: geoff clinton on Thursday 28 January 10 18:29 GMT (UK)

Lettice Brownlow who married Arthur Chamberlain, Christopher Clinton, Alexander Ashton and Lastly Mr Beversham died in 1699. She is buried in Shankhill Lurgan County Armagh, and I have a reference that on her tombstone there is an indication as her children, grand children and even great grand children. Has anyone any information as to the exact nature of the insciption on the tombstone,  is it just a total statement or does it list individuals?
Thanks for any help

Geoff

Hello Geoff,

 You could try contacting Craigavon Historical Society as they have a number of publications on the Brownlow family.
I have emailed them before with queries and always found them very helpful.

Hi Geoff,
I too am decended from lettice through Arthur Chamberlaine, my mother being a Brownlow of the Lurgan family.
I have some details of three children from the marriage of Lettice to Christopher: Arthur, William and the third son Christopher. Christopher inheriting his some of his fathers orginal estate in Louth. Clintownsville in Louth I believe where the family come from and based for a significant time according to the following link http://www.jstor.org/pss/27728617.
I have been building my tree at Genes Reunited if you are a member and would like to share trees please do get in touch.
With best wishes,
