In the register of births we find the Brownriggs at Scalebeck, 
and at the Green, now called Underscar :— 
“ Baptism, 1575-6, Jan. 22nd—Of John Brownrigg, son of Christo- 
pher Brownrigg of Skelbeck and Janet his wife.” 
“1577, April 28.—William Brownrigg, son of Christopher Brown- 
rigg of Skilbeck and Janet his wife.” 
“1582, Feb. 18.—Christopher Brownrigge, son of Christopher 
Brownrigge of Grene and Janet his wife.” 
“1585, July 25th.—Mabell Brownrigg, daughter of Christopher 
Brownrigg and Janet his wyfe.” 
From the foregoing entries it would seem that the Brownriggs 
resided upon different farms in Underskiddaw, all of which ulti- 
mately became the property of the family, and possibly they were 
the original owners, except Millbeck Hall, which from the inscrip- 
tion on a stone over the front door,* shows that in the year 1592 
it was the property of Nicholas Williamson. After that date, it 
also became their property. 
Like many other Cumberland families, the Brownriggs had 
descendants who settled in Ireland. Notably, Henry Brownrigg, 
of Yerton in Cumberland, who was the first of a family settled at 
Rockingham in the county of Wicklow. His second son Robert, 
a General officer in the Army, a Knight Grand Cross of the Bath, 
and Governor of Landguard Fort, was created a Baronet March 
gth, 1816. He was succeeded by his grandson, Sir Robert James
