Judith Brownlow

http://www.kinnexions.com/kinnexions/sims/1948b.htm

     JUDITH SIMS married Joseph Brownlow, brother of Ex-Governor Parson Brownlow of Tennessee, according to Robert. Sims, but I have not been able to verify this fully. I am of the opinion that the Joseph, Judith married was a son of Isaac Brownlow who was a brother of Joseph A. Brownlow, the father of W. G. "Parson" Brownlow, Governor of Tennessee 1865-1869.

     I find several references in old letters to the Brownlows as relatives. I found graves of Joseph Brownlow and Judith S. Brownlow -in an old cemetery with a stone wall in the east edge of Campbellsville, Giles County in 1938. The graves have sandstone markers with the following dates:

     Judith S. Brownlow, wife of Joseph Brownlow, born 1803, died 1855.

     Joseph Brownlow, born 1803, died 185__ - the last figure is broken off the stone.

     I have no doubt but what this is Judith Sims, daughter of Pariss Sims.
