Is anyone else researching BROWNING families of Bracken , Mason, Fleming Co. KY?

I know it has nothing to do with surnames, but I thought all you geneology folks might get a kick out of this. I'm not sure where they got their facts though. It was forwarded to me from a friend.

In researching my SHOALES family I came across an associated BROWNING family in Plymouth, Chenango Co. NY., from an 1850 and 1855 census. John Browning b. abt 1790 RI + Bathsheba _____ b. abt 1788 RI children: ***William b. abt 1817 RI Maret b. abt 1823 RI Abby b. abt 1826 NY ***William Browning married Amy Shoales bef. 1842, daughter of Isaac Newton Shoales and Esther _____. Is anyone researching the family of William Browning and Amy Shoales? I'm looking for the maiden name of Esther and the marriage date and place of Esther and Isaac Shoales. Esther was born in RI abt. 1777, Isaac was born in CT abt. 1776. They lived in Worthington, Hampshire Co., MA for awhile before moving on to Plymouth, Chenango Co., NY. Any tidbits or clues most appreciated! Deb |

I have been on the Browing list almost a year and this is the first time for me. I do not know what is going on. I do not like to have to go to the board each time either. However it is nice to have a place to go and see what may have been posted while AI was away from my computer. I do not always have time to read each e-mail after an extended absence. Martha

Looking to correspond with anyone researching Browning in this time/location. Edward Browning married Ann Grigs (AKA Griggs) Elham parish on the 7th of November 1809. Witnesses were Henry Reed and Edward Foreman. Children were: 1810 Sarah, 1813 Charlotte, 1815 William, 1816 Ann-this is my ancestor, 1817 Elizabeth, 1820 Eliza, 1821 Edward, 1823 Maria, 1825 George, 1826 Caroline, 1829 John. Edward was a higgler at the time of the baptism of the last child. A higgler, I later found out is a peddlar. Katrina Link

Hi Mitzi, Could you tell me more about Perry Browning? I have a line of Brownings from Culpepper County at around the same time, but I have no record of him. I have Elizabeth Browning (dau of John Browning and Elizabeth Strother Browning) born January 25 1783, married Cornelius Whitescarver (date unknown) in Culpeper County, VA. Another source says that "Betsy Browning (dau of John and Elizabeth Strother Browning) married Benjamin Duncan." I have her death as September, 1845. I have much more information on this line of Browning's that I would be happy to share. If anyone is interested, please let me know.
