General Notes: Husband - Ebenezer Brownlee


Early in life he learned the trade of tanner at Good Intent, West Finley township, Washington County, Pennsylvania, which he followed, however, only a short time, as he returned to the home farm and remained with his parents during the rest of their lifetime.
After his marriage he lived five years in East Finley township, on Robinson's fork of Wheeling creek; then during the subsequent five years had his residence in West Finley township, on the Martin Armstrong place; thence moved to Donegal township, on the William McMurray farm which he had purchased, and which was situated about half a mile south of West Alexander. Here he continued to reside until his death. He was very successful in all his undertakings, and accumulated considerable valuable property. He was a member of the United Presbyterian Church, and in politics he was a stanch Republican, one of the influential advisers of the party. He was a strong Abolitionist.
