Mitzi, Just saw your posting. Are you working on Augustus William and Granville BROWNING b. abt. 1790. They are my line and my brick wall. Granville's bro, Augustus Wm. was born abt.1823 and m. Mary Ann ROACH, July 16, 1837. There was another bro. Braxton. Are we talking about the same people?

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Hello Everyone! It was suggested to me, from a friend on the Virginia Mailing list that I am on, to POST a Message directly to the BROWNING list. So here I am :-) I will do Lookups on The BROWNING Genealogies from the Reference Book I borrowed, titled: A History of St. Mark's Parish, Culpeper, Virginia ... With Notes of Old Churches and Old Families And Illustrations of the Manners and Customs of the Olden Time. By Rev Philip Slaughter, P. P. [Rector of Emmanuel Church, Culpeper Co., Va.] ***NOTE**** This Book Is about VIRGINIA, no other states.******* It has a Great Genealogical Information, I think it's wonderful! Kindly, contact me Personally if you are interested at: [email protected] Please put the Surname in the subject line. Thank you and Regards to You and Your Ancestors! Mrs.C.

Hello, Hurley's book on the Brownings indicates that the father of Edward Browning Sr. (b. ca. 1700, d. Apr 9, 1785, Montgomery County, MD) was Francis Browning, (b. ca. 1672, probably Cecil County, MD, d. ca. 1723 in Spotsylvania County, VA). He may be right, but there seems to be no real documentation. Has anyone found any evidence to support this hypothesis? Thanks, Ron Bachman

The only Davison/Browning connection I have is in Chase County, Nebraska where the children of Calvin Oscar Browning(1871-1959 died in Imperial, Nebraska) and Jennie Bell Pierce (1879, Iowa) were born. A son, Milton Ramsey Browning (1906-1981), married Marian Davison (his second marriage; the first to Mary Starling). The name Larkin doesn't show up as a surname connection either. A first or middle name for him would help. Check for records in Tennessee, Ohio and Arkansas. Good Luck Mitzi Hammond Perkins

Mitzi, I really appreciate your checking out my BROWNINGs in the Hurley book. I really don't know for sure that they came from Montgomery, just the fact that the marriage license was issued there. If you or any other searchers come across these name I would really appreciate any help. Thanks again, Yulonda in IL

I ordered my book (within the last 6 months) from the following: Cost is $30 plus $1.50 tax and $2.50 shipping and handling.

I am looking for any information on Larkin Browning, dob unknown, dod 1940 in CA. Married to Helen DAVISON. Three children: Abigail Louise, b. 1906 in either Joplin, MO. or Lee's Summit, MO. died in CA in 1986; Oma, and Jack. We have no knowledge at all of where this family was before they were in Missouri, but Larkin was believed to have been English and Helen was believed to have been German. Any information at all on this family will be most appreciated. Arlene

There are four William A. and one William Augustus, but the date for this William Augustus does not match--he was born in 1877 and was (possibly) the son of Henry Clay Browning and Ella Virginia Hawthorne. He died in 1931. There are a LOT of just plain William Brownings. No Granville is listed. I find a William Browning (1710) and Miss Williamson, were the parents of Jacob Browning (b.1744 in Frederick Co, Maryland). He married twice; first to Rachel BURNETT in 1786, and second to Nancy Wilson, about 1825. He had at least ten children by (at least) one or both wives. It looks like only the last two were born of the second marriage. There are a LOT of BURDETTE surnames in the book, but Rachel is the only Burnett. There is a Barrett and a Barton in the surname list, but no Barnett. Don't give up on this line, however; I have a hunch that there is a definite connection and somewhere I have seen the names Braxton and Granville in my searches. I will definitely keep this in mind and do a little more digging as I can. The Hurley book is most helpful, but not all inclusive and not without mistakes (however few). Genealogy research is mostly a few hunches backed up with a lot of effort. Mitzi

Mitzi, If you have the Hurley book, would you mind doing a look-up for me? I have been against my BROWNING brick wall forever. My 4th grandfather was Granville BROWNING b. abt. 1790 in Montgomery Co., VA. He had known bro.'s Braxton and William Augustus. Granville m. Mary (Polly) BURNETT of Pittsylvania CO.(?) abt. 1812 and we believe Braxton m. her sister or cousin Sarah (Sally). Their parents may be Benjamin BURNETT and Frances BARNETT. Our problem IS that we have never been able to determine the parents of Granville and his brothers. All we know is the m. license was taken out in Montgomery Co. I have seen Granville listed in one other place as Granville T. Would you be kind enough to see if Granville (or Granville T), Braxton and Wm. A. are listed in the Hurley book. They left VA, went to TN,1820 census of Robertson Co. TN, 1830 census of Morgan Co., IL and 1840 census of St. Clair Co., IL. Any help would be so greatly appreciated.

As the great Yogi Bera once said 'it's deja vu all over again'. I missed the book again. Meshach Browning's autobiography 'Forty-four Years in the Life of a Hunter' remains a fist full of air for me. I missed two years ago as well. Okay all you Browning researchers, let the word go out: I want this book! Seriously, if anyone runs across it, let me know. And if the person who bought the latest one ever feels the need to make room on the shelf....please let me know. Mitzi Hammond Perkins

Hello Audrey As far as I know there is no Jas or Solomon on my tree. However, I note with interest that Jas was born in France. My Alfred French BROWNING was born in Paris, France, about 1835. His father's name was Jeffery. If you discover any connection I would be pleased to hear from you.

There is no Solomon T. in the Browning book by Wm Hurley, but he does say that the Browning families who moved west into the Ohio River Valley and the ones who moved more south into NC,SC, GA and westward into Mississippi, Texas, etc were connected at some point, but there is as yet no documentation of where the branches were severed. Note on Meshach Browning, 1781-1859, from the Hurley book: ...one of the more famous members of the Browning family. He lived his life in the mountains of western Maryland, and while virtually an orphan at a very early age, with little education, he made a name for himself that has been noted in history...born i Frederick County and died in Great Glades, Allegheny County, Maryland; the son of Joshua Browning (1735) and his wife, Nancy Farmer, he is buried at Hoyes, in Allegheny County. Taken in by childless relatives after the deaths of his parents, Meshach was promised he would become their adopted son and heir; however after 20 years of marriage, the aunt gave birth to a daoghter and the family's attitude toward him changed and he was severely beaten, prompting his move into the mountains alone...he became 'the great hunter'.

Hello, I am new to this list. I am a descendant of John Lewis Browning, b. 22 Sep 1777 in northern Montgomery County, MD, son of Jonathan Browning Jr., b. 16 Sep 1750 and Margaret Lewis. John Lewis Browning married a Sarah Ayres/Aires (we are not sure of the spelling of her maiden name), reportedly of the Baltimore area, on April 13, 1802, in Montgomery County. The couple moved west, probably leaving Maryland between 1815 and 1820, and stopping for a few years in Pike County, Ohio, before moving on to Vigo County, Indiana, where they spent the rest of their lives. I am the great-great grandson of their daughter Milcah Susan Browning, who married William Denny in Vigo County, IN, in 1831. Do any of you have any connection with the Ayres/Aires family? I have never figured out Sarah A.'s parentage. Thanks, Ron Bachman
