Brasenhill

Since November of 1996 the genealogy world had never existed for me. Better yet, I never dreamed I'd be a subscriber of the Internet. It was through this medium that I began to find WARRILOW'S in many different parts of the world and have been able to communicate with most via e-mail. I have found numerous individuals searching for links to their WORRILOW, WARRILOW, WORLOW, WHIRLOW, WORLOE, WARRYLAW AND WARDLAW families. By communicating back and forth we've not only had some fun but we've gotten to know one another and can hopefully call ourselves internet friends. Who knows, maybe with the technology available to us today, we're going to find a few more links to our pedigrees and maybe, just maybe, we'll find a few more links to this clan.

Just a short note about my experience's searching for WARRILOW'S. Although there are numerous WORRILOW'S in and around Pennsylvania, I have not found one in England. The former spelling is common in the United Kingdom, Canada and Australia.

Now, what's a Brasenhill? Brasenhill is a place in England which has been described in a book written by Katherine of the Pennsylvania WORRILOW'S.

Although I've never met this wonderful lady in person she has given me a greater understanding of our family through her book on the WORRILOW, WARRILOW, WORLOW, WHIRLOW, WORLOE, WARRYLAW and possibly WARDLAW families.

Anyway, Brasenhill is the name of a family property owned many years ago in England by Thomas Henry WORRILOW and there have been properties in the United States named after it along with a web page designed by Lawrence WORRILOW. Katharines book, "One Mans Family" written about the descendants of Thomas Henry WORRILOW of Brasenhill, Haughton, England describes it's owner as a gentleman. Katherine has taken a wonderful approach in preserving some of our heritage. The book describes families descending from Thomas Henry who lived, for the most part in eastern United States During the reign of James II 1685-1689 the WORRILOW'S emigrate to Pennsylvania about 1687. Not only does Katherine include stories about each descendant she has also included their family tree. There's about 75 pages of terrific reading.

If you are interested in the book it can be obtained through Katharine. Just give her a jingle at <BKHutch@dmv.com>.
