He was survived by wife,Parthenia and 1 child (by her) Ida F. Brownlee. Sarah Ann Brownlee Cain, his daughter, was executrix. Note: All of the research done on Vinson Brownlee's descendents was done by Mrs. Effie Mavis Jackson of Dallas, Texas. Effie spent over twenty years researching the Brownlee's and has published "Vincent Brownlee of Gwinnett County, Georgia in 1996 which provides a professional geneological record of Vinson Brownlee and his descendents. Our eternal gradification goes out to Effie Jackson for all the fine geneological research that she has so kindly provided to us. It is believed that the Brumley's/Brownlee's were Scottish from the section of KINCARDINE in Scotland. "Gwinnett County, Georgia Deaths", by Alice McCabe (R929.37582 M121G) for the Years 1818 - 1989 has many Brownlee's deaths and other families as well. Vinson's wife, Elizabeth Andrews, was mentioned. "Gwinnett County, Georgia History", by James C. Flanagan (2 Volumes) (R975.822 F585h), Volume II, Page 437 has a short history of Vinson Brumley and his descendents, but is not very thorough. Milton's line was not given much notice. "Gwinnett County Families", Pages 80-86, by Alice McCabe has a more thorough story of the Brownlee Families, but still Milton's line is not given much notice. "Abstracts of Georgia Wills", by Jeanette Austin, Volume I, Page 20 stated, "Will Book A (1847-1846) , Pages 313-315, Vinson Brownlee died January 30, 1882. His will probated July 31, 1885. Survived by wife, Parthenia and one child (by her) Ida F. Brownlee". His executrix was Sarah Cain. Neighbors: Tandy Brown, J. J.

This cemetery is known as the Brownlee Cemetery and is located at 225 Bethesda Church Road in a community which once was known as Gloster and now is a part of Lawrenceville. (Gloster was a flag station on the Seaboard Railroad, five miles west of Lawrenceville.) According to the Gwinnett County Historical Society Death Index spreadsheet, Vinson Brownlee (1797-1883), his wife, Elizabeth (1810-1876), and their son, William R. (1837-1900) are believed to be buried here. Their specific plots though are unknown. There are just 20 graves designated here, and they are marked only by field stones. However, there may possibly be a few more unmarked ones. The land historically belonged to the Brownlee family and now is part of Bethesda Park. The fenced cemetery sits on top of a knoll which is located on road frontage that spans the west side of Bethesda Church Road, just south of the access road to the Bethesda Park Senior Center.
