This web site is sponsored by the Greenlaw Family Association. The Association was founded in 2004 as a result of ongoing interest evolving out of the bisesquicentennial celebrations held in Brunswick, Maine, in August of 2003, celebrating the 250th anniversary of the arrival of William and Jane Greenlaw and their children in America in 1753 after having left their native Scotland.
