[edit] Grandfather
The article had the wrong grandfather - it is widely known that the subject of this article, John Brown (Broughton Place), was grandson of John Brown of Haddington , and this can be confirmed by comparing the articles John Brown (theologian) and John Brown (physician) (son of the present subject and great-grandson of John Brown of Haddington).
However, because the previous information was based on the 1911 Britannica article (due to a technical error in that encyclopaedia where the words "grandson of the last-named" apparently failed to be corrected when an article on yet another John Brown was inserted), I have added a reference from an authoritative source, the Dictionary of Scottish Church History and Theology.
Incidentally that Dictionary also includes an article on Brown, John (of Whitburn) (1754-1832) who was father of the present subject and son of John Brown of Haddington. --PeterR (talk) 11:25, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
