Re: [Bann Valley] Brown of Trinaltinagh, Garvagh



Linde, there was a Hamilton Brown lived near Preistland, Bushmills. If my
memory is correct he was related to the Fleming family who went to
school with you.
could this be the same Hamilton Brown ??

Thanks for replies; these put flesh on the bones as it were! I know a little about John Brown's importance and career, because I researched and wrote a short biography of him for the forthcoming Dictionary of Irish Biography, but at that time I didn't think he was related. However, I am now trying to fit my gt gt gt gf into the Browns of Trinaltinagh; John Brown is said to have been the sixth son; the list in the Visitation lists him as the 5th son, but there is space for a missing son, and my Robert's birthdate fits ok. Another brother of Johns. William, was a militia officer and I think my Robert may have been in either the militia or the army, which is an interesting link. (At least to be honest, i can't find it in my notes, but I am sure I heard from someone or read somewhere that he was a captain, before he came home to manage the farm at Bovagh for the Beresfords)

I may be related to Hamilton Brown Wilson through the Wilsons as well- I haven't sorted them out either. Thanks for the note re the townland of his birth; I hadn't got that. Fasti I think just says Garvagh.

All interesting! Thanks to all

Linde
