| ARTHUR SPEAKS! Arthur Marmion witness at a Dublin Trial November of 1828 |
 |
 |
| Arthur would have been in this Dublin neighborhood when run down by the dragoons, except on the other side of the River Liffey (Life) a block from the Customs House in the background. He would have been in his late 20's and dressed much like shown above. The Pantaloons were worn tight, and for them to be torn, must have left him injured somewhat. He was living in this city and Laurence was just born 4 months prior. |
| With respect to
the family of Capt. Browne, I have located what seems to be a list of the legacies he left to his children. Anne Browne received the largest share, just over 540 pounds, while John, on the other hand, received only 31 pounds. Most of the documents concern the administrative costs for Capt. Browne's death, since he was intestate, and do not give any details about Capt. Browne himself. The Crombie/Cradock family is of local importance in the area just west of Hamilton, Ontario, where our archives are located. In searching through the Crombie records, I came across nothing which would suggest anything about Erasmus Cope Browne other than that he was a Captain in the army and that he held a number of stocks. It is possible that he established some form of business after his military career and before his death, but this is not reflected in the records we have here.
