I started putting all of the genealogy records I have into file folders this morning and was pretty disappointed that the marriage record for Ezekiel Currey and Elizabeth Brownlee is on ledger size paper, forcing me to fold the paper. I’m not prepared to do that yet, so I will just put it back in the envelope it was delivered in and keep it that way for now.
I decided to make a list of every marriage listed on that page. When I came to the bottom of the page I discovered that the third from the last listing is for the marriage of Samuel Nail and Margaret (written as Margrete) Brownly on August 14, 1760. I started wondering: could this Margaret be the sister of Elizabeth Brownlee? Elizabeth’s first daughter was named Betsey, a nickname for Elizabeth. Her second daughter was named Margaret. So it’s possible she named her second daughter after a sister. This might give me a lead to who Elizabeth Brownlee’s parents are and where they are from. This also gives me another spelling of Brownlee to search!
I have transcribed the names on the page as well as I could. I know that they are all listed on Family Search, but some of the names don’t look as that website transcribed them (example: the handwriting clearly says “Buttington”, yet it is transcribed on Family Search as “Bussington”). Names that I just couldn’t make out at all I put a note beside. If anyone has any information on any of the parties listed below feel free to comment or contact me! I love stories!
