BROWNELL。
Rev。 J。 H。 Brownell writes: 〃The present Brownell family are unable to tell definitely when their grandfather came to this country; but I find it recorded in 'A Biographical Sketch of the Loyalists;' by Lorenzo Sabine; in Vol。 I; which I have by me; that in the year 1783 two brothers came from Vermont to New Brunswick。 Joshua Brownell went to St。 John; and Jeremiah came to Westmoreland; and settled in Jolicure。 He married Annie Copp。 They were the parents of nine children。 Their names; etc。; are as follows: Aaron married first; Vinie Dixon; they had one girl。 His second wife was Margaret Weldon; they had two sons and five daughters。 He settled in Dorchester。 John married Eunice Polly; they had two sons and seven daughters。 He settled in Jolicure。 Jeremiah married Rebecca Dixon; they had seven sons and six daughters。 He settled in Northport; N。S。 Thomas never married; and lived in Jolicure。 William married Annie Davis; they had five sons and five daughters。 He settled in Northport; N。S。 Sarah married Thomas Weldon。 They lived in Jolicure for a time; and then moved away。 When Weldon died Sarah came back and lived with Thomas。 She had six children; one son and five daughters。 Edward married Margaret Adams; they had thirteen children。 He settled in Jolicure。 Annie married George Church; they lived in Fort Lawrence; and had four sons and five daughters。 Lovinia married Jesse Church; and lived in Point de Bute for a time; then moved to Amherst。 They had five sons and seven daughters。〃
My information; up to the receipt of this letter; was very positive that Jeremiah Brownell came to Nova Scotia in 1763; with the Fillimores and others; landing at Fort Lawrence。 The family were adherents of the Presbyterian Church; and took an active part in building and sustaining that church in Jolicure。 The name has given two ministers to the denomination; Rev。 J。 H。 Brownell; of Little Shemogue; N。B。; and Rev。 Hiram Brownell; of Northport; N。S。
