Adamthwaite descendant
fights in American Civil War
Rev William Adamthwaite and Sarah (Flower)’s
daughter Emma married James Raynes in Sculcoates in 1840 and they
had two sons James Edwin and William Adamthwaite Raynes who were
born in 1845 and 1847. Emma’s husband James must have died soon
after the birth of their children, because she later married James R
Browne (in UK or America? …
The following item c.1870, refers to the City
Treasurer of Racine Wisconsin, James R Browne:
He married for his first wife, Emma Adamthwaite from
Westmoreland, England; she died July 5 1863 leaving two sons and three
daughters – James Edwin, William A., Emma F, Annie E and Mary A.
Edwin served in the 7th Wis. V.I, and was wounded at the
battle of South Mountain. After his first term of enlistment
expired, he enlisted again as Sergeant in Battery C, 1st Wis. Heavy
Artillery, ( the John R. Davis Battery) in which he served a year, and
was promoted to 2d Lieut., 47th Wis. V.I. after acting
A.A.G.on Gen. Blunts staff. Wm. A. also served in the army.
Mr. Browne’s present wife was Mrs. Penelope B. Forrest, a native of
Cork, though reared in England.
