My information, up to the receipt of this letter, was very positive that Jeremiah Brownell came to Nova Scotia in 1763, with the Fillimores and others, landing at Fort Lawrence.The family were adherents of the Presbyterian Church, and took an active part in building and sustaining that church in Jolicure.The name has given two ministers to the denomination, Rev.J.H.Brownell, of Little Shemogue, N.B., and Rev.

KING.
Thomas King came from a small village near Hull, Yorkshire, with his uncle, Christopher Harper, in 1773.Before starting for America Mr.
Harper hired his nephew, who was a blacksmith, to work for him for three years for forty pounds sterling.When Mr.Harper found wages were high in this country, he released his nephew from the bargain, and young King worked several years in the Government Armory at Fort Cumberland.He married his cousin, Miss Harper, and they were the parents of six children, one son and five daughters.The son, Thomas, married a Miss Chandler; Jane married George Oulton; Fanny Thomas Bowser; one remained single; of the remaining two, one married Otho Read, and the other Jesse Read.Thomas King (second) owned a large farm that joined the Garrison land.He had a family of two daughters and four sons, Jane, -----, Watson, Edward, James and Samuel.None of the sons, and but one of the daughters married.Edward and Samuel occupy the old place, and are the only members of the family now living.The "King boys," as they were called, were well read and good conversationalists.James was a school-teacher in his early years, and had a local reputation as a mathematician.
