From Jason Lee Edwards (https://brownlowfamilyorigins.com/henry-brownlow-of-biggin/)
Based on the scant available evidence, Henry Brownlow was probably born sometime around the year 1490. Although his origins remain elusive, he was definitely located at Biggin in Derbyshire by the 1520s. In the eighteenth year of Henry VIII (1526/7), Henry Brownlow sued William Hall concerning “a commison and evidence of title to lands called the Hallfeld.” The land was located at “Byggyng” near Duffield, Derbyshire.[1] Undoubtedly, the issue with the Halls continued for quite some time as William Hall sued Henry Brownlow in the twenty-eighth year of Henry VIII (1536/7) for “forcible entry and tortuous possession of lands and paster” in Hallfeld.[2]
