It's a bit surprising to me too, but it's not a totally rare name or anything.
And with connections like that, they probably assumed she would have had a legacy introduction if she were actually descended from the two founders.
It's really too, too bad, that you didn't get recommendations and letters. At first I didn't understand that she was actually related to the Brownlee family - although I assume she must be descended from a brother or something, if your last name is Brownlee (and not Hutchinson or Kilgore..???).
That said, it might not have made any difference. I think your daughter should really focus on being happy where she is! She may turn out to love her new house, and I hope she does!!!
