Arthur Brownlow

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Arthur Chamberlain Brownlow (20 March 1645 – 27 March 1711) was an Anglo-Irish politician.

He was the son of Patrick Chamberlain and Letitia Brownlow, eldest daughter of Sir William Brownlow and his wife Eleanor O'Doherty, daughter of the Irish rebel leader, Sir Cahir O'Doherty. He took his grandfather's family name as a condition of inheriting his estate.

He was educated at Trinity College, Dublin.[1] Brownlow was appointed High Sheriff of Armagh for 1668 and 1669 and represented Armagh County in the Irish House of Commons between 1689 and 1711.[2]

He married Jane Hartstonge, daughter of Sir Standish Hartstonge, 1st Baronet and his first wife Elizabeth Jermyn. They had at least seven children, including William, who like his father was MP for Armagh, and Lettice, who married Robert Cope.
