Historical note |
John Bell Brownlow (1839-1922) was the son of outspoken Unionist newspaper editor William Gannaway "Parson" Brownlow. He and his younger brother, James Patton Brownlow (1842-1879), both served in the Union army. Their sister, Susan, who chafed under Confederate control of Knoxville early in the war, traveled north with her father to promote the Union cause. |
