I have been following the mailings with descents of Henry Brawner. Has anyone come across an Elizabeth Brawner? Elizabeth was born abt. 1725 who married John Bowye (Bowie) 1725-1781 of Charles Co. The children of Elizabeth Brawner & John Bowye are:
Oswell, John, William, Alexander, Matthew & Rhodi Bowie
John Bowie also married Isabel Peel and had 9 children with her. I'm not sure who was the first wife as I don't have birth dates for any.

I can tell you my "guesses". She is another of the persons that I have been keeping an eye on. Your John Boye was one of the Scots in the Jacobite rebellion, was he not, shipped over as prisoners in 1719? Right now, the only candidate I have for this Elizabeth Brawner, would have to have married John Boye after 1766. Then the Elizabeth Grant named in Edward the Elder's will would fit for this series of marriages.
First to William Boucher Franklin,
second to James Grant,
third to John Boye.
I don't have all of the dates for the first two men, so it could be all wrong. These are just my guesses, based on who was there with no wife or a wife "Elizabeth" or someone else gave Elizabeth Brawner as a wife and she is the only candidate. The Franklins and Grants are also given as Scots, but they were in Charles county before 1719.
This may be the same Elizabeth who married William Boucher Franklin. If so she is the daughter of Edward Brawner.
This may not be the correct lineage for Elizabeth. John Grant, father of Andrew and Elizbeth Parker Grant could be her husband.
