Re: [Bann Valley] Brown of Trinaltinagh, Garvagh
Linde
Dr John Brown of Aghadowey was Moderator of the Presbyterian General Synod
(forerunner of The General Assembly) in 1839, and Moderator of The General
Assembly in 1844.
His brother, Solomon, was minister of Castledawson, 1802-1833. Solomon's
son, Samuel Brown, MD, RN, JP was Lord Mayor of Belfast, and a grandson was
John Walton Brown, BA, MD, LL.D, also of Belfast.
Also Revd John Brown, a nephew of Dr Brown of Aghadowey, was born in
Garvagh, licensed by the Coleraine Presbytery in 1846, and minister of
Garryduff, near Ballymoney 1854-1883, then Culnady, south of Kilrea,
1883-1901
Another famous minister with "Brown" in his name......I don't know if he was
any relation to the above, was one of my predecessors here in Cookstown.
The Revd Dr Hamilton Brown Wilson - he also came from the Garvagh
area.....White Falls, Garvagh - this is on the Kilrea side of Garvagh. H
Brown Wilson was Moderator of the General Assembly in 1883, and was minister
in First Presbyterian Church Cookstown 1846-1892!
This may fit into your gig-saw somewhere!

Anyone interested in this family, who are listed in the 1796 Garvagh
Visitation list? the son John Brown listed is the future minister of
Aghadowey, who was minister for nearly 60 years from 1813-73. His brother
Solomon was also a minister. I wonder if this family descend from a
Solomon Brown listed in Kilrea Protestant Householders in 1740? I am
interested to know if anyone has information about their connection to
Cornet Brown who died in action in the siege of Derry, and they are also
said to be connected to Browns of Ballymena who were millionaire
merchants in Liverpool and New York.
I'm interested because I am beginning to wonder if my ancestor Robert
Brown, who moved to a farm in Bovagh about 1835, could be another brother
in this family; his age would be ok. No proof possible at the moment, I'm
just intrigued
Robert Brown's daughters (possibly 11of them!) married into local
families; think what that does to the network of local relationships
