He died 1872 and was buried Clinton Cemetery. He purchased Lot 37 Concession 9 of Goderich Township Huron County from the Canada Company in 1847 and settled there If John Magee was an older brother to Ann Magee wife of Robert Brownlee this might explain why the Brownlees moved from Albion Township to the “Huron Tract” Robert McDole wonders if Elizabeth McGee who married Robert Brownlee Jr was a daughter of John Magee’s and thus the marriage of Robert Jr and Elizabeth was between first cousins.

#19 Oct 2009 by Robert McDole It is interesting that I went to my Clinton Public Cemetery directory and found a gravestone in Lot E26:
In Loving Memory of William H. Brownlee 1854_1941 Tilley Marian Perrin wife of William H. Brownlee 1863_1937
I went to the family of James Brownlee, the older brother of Robert, Jr., in McCool's document and found the oldest son of James: 10. William Henry Brownlee b. 5 Jun 1854
On page 3 of the document: 10. William Henry Brownlee, b. 5 Jun 1854, Clinton ON, m. (1) Martha Pugsley..... d. 10 Dec 1902, Saris Bluff, TX, buried Ravenna, TX, William Henry m. (2) Tilley Marian Perrin b. 1862, Clinton ON, d. 1937 buried: Clinton Cemetery; William died 22 Aug 1941 Clinton ON; buried: Clinton Cemetery
I have a hunch that the information about the marriage of William John Brownlee to Marian Perrin and the date of William John's death are incorrect. So with William John Brownlee we lose track of him and have nothing on him except perhaps the year of his birth. When I saw the info that McCool had on William John I thought that it did not support your theory about Margaret "bogging off" with the 3 kids. Now it looks like they all disappeared as you said.
From: bob moore [rmoore@wwdc.com] Sent: Tuesday, November 03, 2009 3:11 PM William H born 1854 had a wife Martha born about 1862 in 1881 Not yet found 1891 but still in Canada In 1900 they were in Harris Cty Texas with family as listed by McCool and all born Canada After that am lost tho David shows in1920 in Idaho with wife Jennie and 2 kids
I have not found Wm H after 1900 but he could have come back to Huron and remarried tho I have not found him in the 1911 census

#8 (this is the same Note #8 shown under Robert Brownlee Sr) Robert McDole (2009) notes that another McCool Gen document is headed “Descendants of John and Ann Magee” John (Magee) McGee born Ireland 1799 married Ann U/K born 1800. He died 1872 and was buried Clinton Cemetery. He purchased Lot 37 Concession 9 of Goderich Township Huron County from the Canada Company in 1847 and settled there (no Magees listed in 1879 atlas of Goderich Township) If John Magee was a an older brother to Ann Magee wife of Robert Brownlee this might explain why the Brownlees moved from Albion Township to the “Huron Tract” Robert McDole wonders if Elizabeth McGee who married Robert Brownlee Jr was a daughter of John Magee’s and thus the marriage of Robert Jr and Elizabeth was between first cousins. \ Note #9 October 28, 2009 from Robert McDole I found a complicated story when I was studying the family of Robert Brownlee, Jr., and his first wirfe, Margaret. You suggested that perhaps Margaret did not die but "bogged off" with the 3 children. According to McCool (Genealogy of Brownlee Family) their 3 children were: William John Brownlee James Brownlee Louise Brownlee
McCool added the following facts: William John Brownlee b. 1854, m. Marian Perrin, b. 1863, d. 1937; William died 1941 [and referenced (superscript 2) a gravestone as the source of the information].
I went to my Clinton Public Cemetery directory and found a gravestone in Lot E26: In Loving Memory of William H. Brownlee 1854_1941 Tilley Marian Perrin wife of William H. Brownlee 1863_1937
I went to the family of James Brownlee, the older brother of Robert, Jr., in McCool's document and found the oldest son of James: 10. William Henry Brownlee b. 5 Jun 1854 On page 3 of the document: 10. William Henry Brownlee, b. 5 Jun 1854, Clinton ON, m. (1) Martha Pugsley..... d. 10 Dec 1902, Saris Bluff, TX, buried Ravenna, TX, (William Henry m. (2) Tilley Marian Perrin b. 1862, Clinton ON, d. 1937 buried: Clinton Cemetery; William died 22 Aug 1941 Clinton ON; buried: Clinton Cemetery
I have a hunch that the information about the marriage of William John Brownlee to Marian Perrin and the date of William John's death are incorrect. So with William John Brownlee we lose track of him and have nothig on him except perhaps the year of his birth. When I saw the info that McCool had on William John I thought that it did not support your theory about Margaret "bogging off" with the 3 kids. Now it looks like they all disappeared as you said.
Notes by RGM Oct 28 2008 I went tho the 1871 census on ancestry ca. looking for any Louise and siblings Robert and James and with Margaret as a Mother nothing even partial. No better luck in 1861 looking for a Robert and a John. The 1861 census of Hullett show Robert with the family and he and his brother Thomas, John and George are all shown as single

#8 death of Mrs George Brownlee REf: Robert McDole [mcdole@localaccess.com] I had not heard about the Paris Green. I have her obituary dated May 1, 1903. It states: "Mrs. George Brownlee ... was tken suddenly ill and with all that medical skill could do, passed away on Saturday morning at the age of 53." "The deceased leaves .... seven children ... Mrs H. Little and Robert who own farms adjoining their home." Paris Green would cause a sudden illness! And would probably be fatal if taken in large enough quantity. Her grave stone says she died April 25, 1903, age 54 years. I know that Robert's farm was in Lot 23, Concession IV in Tuckersmith Township and that George and Rebecca lived on adjoining property.
#9 Notes by Bob McDole Oct 2009 George Brownlee until about 1913 lived on a farm in Concession IV Tuckersmith Township, Huron County, next to my grandfather, Robert Brownlee, who lived on Block 23, Concession IV, Tuckersmith Township, Huron County. George died at his home on James Street in Seaforth (according to his obituary) on January 5, 1923, where he had lived since about 1913 when he moved from the farm in Tuckersmth Township. My uncle Albert Brownlee said (in his oral narrative on cassette tapes) that he, Myrtle and Wilson lived with their grandfather, George Brownlee, in Seaforth when they attended high school in Seaforth between about 1917 to 1921.
