Notes
^Sources vary as to the number of children Brownlow had. The Dictionary of Irish Biography[1] suggests a total of nine: two sons by Judith, and two sons and five daughters by Catherine. Conversely, Linkin[5] indicates that he had three sons and one daughter by Judith, and at least two sons and four daughters (and possibly four additional children) by Catherine.
