| Notes |
- The United States federal era began in 1776. Events such as civil strife, wars, disease, the
introduction of cotton, and the development of roads influenced people to move into or out of South
Carolina. South Carolina's cotton economy depended heavily upon slave labor. Census records
from 1790 to 1840 list only the head of each household by name. Records, including military,
court, and land records, were created during this time.

In the1840 & 1830 Anderson County, SC Census
James Brownlow - the only Brownlow in the 1830 or 1840 SC Census in any Dist. or County in SC. (This could be William's father because he is from the right state and William named his first son James.) I copied these Censuses, but it does not give the names of anyone else, just the numbers, one of which is a male between the ages of 15 - 20. That seems too young. However, in the 1830 Anderson Co., SC Census, James Brownlow list 2 sons ages10 - 15 and 2 sons ages 15 - 20. One of these ages would fit William M. Brownlow.

(Gene Brownlow 2013)
There are 2 Census, 1820 and 1830 that seem to show that William could be one of James and Rebecca's children.
In 1820 the report shows 2 males under 10 and 1 under 45. At this time George W was 6 and William would have been 5 and James would have been 33. The same report shows 1 female under 10 and 1 under 26. Sarah would have been 1 and because we don't have a birth year for Rebecca this could be her.
In 1830 the report shows 2 male between 10 and 15 and 2 between 15 and 20. George wouuld have been 16 and William would have been 15. It would be possible to have two other males, maybe twins at 10 that wouldn't have been on the 1820 Census. Also there was 1 male between 40 and 50 with James being 43 at that time. The report shows 4 females less than 5, 1 female betwen 5 and 10 and 1 female between 10 and 15. Sarah would have been 11, Eliza would have been 5 and Melinda would have been 3. It also show 1 female between 30 and 40 with Rebecca about 36.
in 1840 the Census report show only 1 male between 50 and 60 and at this time James would have been 53. For females the report shows 4 under age 5, 2 between 5 and 10 and 2 between 10 and 15. Emily would have been less than 1, Narcissa would have been 5, Nancy would have been 8, Melinda would have been 13 and Eliza would have been 15. This accounts for 1 below 4, 2 between 5 and 10 and 2 between 10 and 15. It also shows 1 female 40 to 50 and Rebecca would have been around 46
Next James' grandfather was William Brownlow and his Great grandfather was James Brownlow
James named his first son George Washington and his second William Monroe.
William Monroe named his first son James Monroe and his second Elias Albert.

Obituaries of James Brownlow
James Brownlow - It becomes our duty to cronicle the death of old Uncle Jimmie Brownlow, one of our oldest and most respected citizens who died about 9oclock yesterday
morning (The next few words are unreadable but it looks like at 88 years) of age. He served in the war, of 1812 and then again in the Creek war, and was a Pensioner.
Although he could not write his name he served about 40 years as a Deputy Sheriff and constable, and was never ruled in any case nor. was he ever required to give reason for not obeying an order or serving a paper. He had been
a consistent member of the Baptist church some 28 years in short, He was an honest man, a good man, and lived and died without an enemy. His remains will be buried this evening. Peace be to his ashes.
(From the Feb. 23, 1876 issue of the Rome Weekly Commercial)
James Brownlow - The Honest, familiar face of the good old man will be seen no more in thi(s) world. Wednesday morning he departed this life, full of years and with a
record of honesty, frugality and purity of life and purpose, that the best and the greatest would not be ashamed of. For forty years he has gone in and out
before our people, always in quest of duty, and always avoiding offence.
Nearly half of his long life has been spent in official duty, either as sheriff or bailiff. He was a constable in South Carolina when the war of 1812 began. He served as a private soldier in that war. From the best information that can be obtained he died in his 90th year.
He was the father of thirteen children, only three of whom survive him. He has seventy-four grand children. He has lived(been?) a consistent exemplary member of the Baptist church for over 30 years. His last hours illustrated his earnest faith in his Redeemer, his humble trust in the goodness and mercy of God. His last prayers were full of touching, yea, eloquent pathos and caused those near him to breathe the prayer of David Oh, that I might die the death if the righteous.
Mr. Brownlow was born in Pendleton District, South Carolina. He removed to Georgia in the year 1838, and has been a resident of this county for 37 years.
His children were, George Washington Brownlow, William Monroe Brownlow, Sarah (Brownlow) Johnston, Eliza (Brownlow) Smith, Melinda (Brownlow) Pogue, Nancy Amanda (Brownlow) Bean, Narcissa (Brownlow) Dunn, Emily(Brownlow) Beard.
