The first research tactic I'd take is to get Frank's WV death certificate. Hopefully it will name his parents. I'd also look for a mention of his death in the local newspaper there. I do see a Francis Browning in McDowell Co. in the 1930 census. But he is not married and he is listed as being white.

VA he left land to his daughter Elizabeth, which had been purchased from Thomas Merritt. His widow Johanna is listed as one of the executors. But in her brother's deed, it is noted that Elizabeth Loyd, daughter of George, died without issue. There is no mention of the fact that this Elizabeth married a Browning. From these documents, it doesn't appear that the daughter of George and Joanna Loyd is the Elizabeth Loyd who married Francis Browning. VA Colonial Abstracts by B.

Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/HNG.2ACEB/133.173.206.220.221.1.2 Message Board Post: I took a look at this thread and it looks like you are researching Ballard P. Browning of Wyoming Co., West Virginia. Census records in 1870 show that Ballard P. Browning, son of Edmund & Cyntha Browning, was 4 and born in 1866. They were living next door to John B. Browning, age 67 and his wife, Tamsey. In the 1860 US Census, Edmund & Cyntha are in Mercer County, Virginia (remember WV was not a state until the Civil War) and they were again next door to John and Tamsey. Edmund and Cyntha sre still in Wyoming County, WV in 1880 as is Ballard P., age 18. In the 1900 US Census, Ballard P. is still in Wyoming County but now living with wife, Dora. They have been married 12 years and have children Lex L (hard to read), born Oct 1889, Walter W., born Feb. 1895, Lucinda, born July 1897, and Jennis L., (son) born Mar 1899. Edmund is living a couple of doors down from his brother, Green W. Browning and his family. By 1910, still in Wyoming Co., WV, Ballard and Dora have added children Ollie, female, age 10, Merlie E., female, age 6, Arnett P., male, age 4, and Valie P., age 1 8/12, female. Also still with them are Jemis (Jennis?) L., age 12, female, Lucinda, female, age 12, and Leu L. (Lex?) age 20, female. Dora has had 12 children with 7 surviving. By the 1920 Census, Oceana, Wyoming Co., WV, Ballard and Dora added children Vida, age 9 1/2, female, and Lanford, age 5. Still living with them were Ollie, Merle, Arnett, and Vallie. They are still in Wyoming County in 1930 and living in Slab Fork. With Ballard P. and Dora are daughter Merlie who is married to William Baker and their daughter, Marjorie, born in 1929, and daughter Vida and son Ira L(anford). The rest of the children are no longer in the home. Arnett P. Browning was living in Slab Fork, Raleigh County, WV. and was a boarder. He was a coal miner. Apparently Slab Fork crossed county lines as Arnette and Ballard are both listed as being in Slab Fork but different counties. Ballard was also listed in 1930 as a coal miner.

Hi, all. I just wish to inform you that my vol. 2 on the Browning families is going to be delayed. No surprise to most who have published. We were pushing hard to get it to the publisher by the end of 2006, but that will not happen. The new target to the publisher is Mar 30, 2007. If any of you have not yet sent me updates to your families, please do so now. Data sent after Dec 1., 2006, may not make it into the new book. For any of you who do not know, in 2003 I published a book on the Browning families, basically an update on E F Browning's book of 1908. Southern line only. This vol. 2 adds to vol. 1, both new families and additions to those in vol. 1, plus some corrections to vol. 1. I will post updates as we move forward. If you have not corresponded with me, now is the time. Regards, Jim Richey _TeRealtor@aol.com_ (mailto:TeRealtor@aol.com)
