Very few records are available
for the Brownell family, but it would appear that the cemetery called Brownell
was a family burial ground. David and two of his children are buried
there.

courthouse discloses members of his family who were living at the time of
his

his wife. During the request for probate, she relinquishes her right to
administer the said estate of
