• John Calder was married to a relative of Archibald Brownlie, born 1799

• Archibald Brownlie, as at 1863, had only two sons and three daughters out of 11 births.

• James Bryce was a salesman for Archibald Brownlie, who had about 20 employees.

• Archibald Brownlie had an aunt Ann Slalytown who was in the US[21].

• Archibald Brownlie knew John Russell. In the 1851 census, John Russell was noted as an old servant. 88 years. Old and stops with miller. Born Carluke. He had died sometime prior to 16 May 1863 at un ‘unquestionable’ age[22].

• James Brownlee (City Saw Mills) was a son of Alexander Brownlie’s late relatives, who used to repair Alexander Brownlies’ fathers mill in Alexander Brownlies' younger days. (Letter Archibald Brownlie, born 1799, to brother in U.S.A. 26 August 1863, sent by Emilie Galvin).

• Alexander had another brother who had died by 1863 who left a widow and three sons. The wife was remarried to a worker from the mill, Thomas Leiper and had seven sons. Stayed at Garrion farm about 3 years after they were married. They sold off and went to Glasgow where they started a Diary. Thomas Leiper lost an arm in an accident on the railway.

• Alexander Brownlie and John Brownlie had a cousin in Wishaw 1864, called John Young, who had a brother minister who died c1860 plus, who left John Young money.

• James Brownlie of Garrion Mill is at the present date (1858), the only

• Margaret French, a niece, lived with John Brownlie, born 1795, after her mother passed away and while she was a baby, John adopted her into his family. She later married a Russell and lived at Cleghorn Mills. Her name at that time was Margaret French Russell.

• 1861 Census Cambusnethan Parish, Schedule 30, lists the following at Garrion Mill:
John Brownlie, 65yrs, Miller, born Cambusnethan
Janet Brownlie, 65yrs, Wife born Dumfries, Kirkconnel
Archibald Brownlie, Unmarried, son, 21yrs, Miller's Son, born Cambusnethan

• 1841 Census Cambusnethan Parish at Garrion Farm:
Marion Brownlie, 25, female, farmer
Archibald Brownlie, 4, male; John Brownlie, 3, male
James Brownlie, 1, male. 
This matches the information in the letter about James’ widow remaining on the farm with the three sons.  This would put her birth date circa 1816, Archibald Brownlie circa 1837, John Brownlie circa 1838, and James Brownlie circa 1840.[23]

• In 1943, Davenport High School named Marjorie Brownlie “Miss Victory” and held a Victory Dance instead of the traditional Homecoming Queen and Homecoming Dance.

[2] Email 28 July 2007 from Andrew Thomas Douglas Brownlie via Emilie Galvin. Andrew recorded in 1972, a stone inscription in Carbarns Graveyard as follows: Erected by, Marion Ferguson, in memory of her husband, James Brownlie, Who died at Garrion Oct 31st 1840, Aged 47 years. Emilie Galvin also points out that this also verifies the 1867 inventory of James Brownlie of Garrion Farm is the same James Brownlie. George Russell says that it is not unusual for it to have taken from 1840 to 1867 to record the inventory.
