Hi! I am interested in purchasing the Volume 2 book. Will send you any updates on my line. Thanks. Sincerely, Elizabeth L. Browning

I was going to wait to do the reprint of the book I published in 2003 until Vol. 2 went to the publisher and do them both at the same time. However, I have been getting a lot of request for it now. If enough of you want the Vol. 1 now, I will do it. I need about 50 to make it worth while (i.e., get a reasonable publishing cost). If I get 50 books published the cost to you will be about $70, post paid. What I need from anyone interested is commitment to buy a book(s). You do not need to send the payment until I get enough buyers, just email me your interest and your mailing (US Mail) address. When I get enough I will email those interested and will want the payment when I place the order. Also, if any of you have data to share on your lines for vol. 2, that have not done so, this would be a good time to send it to me. Vol. 2 is projected to go to publisher in 12-14 months. For those you are not familiar with my first book, it is basically a revision of E F Browning's book of 1908, the "Southern Line" only part. It has corrections/additions, etc., on those lines plus new families found to connect, and a few that we thought connect but can't prove at this time. These are the early Browning Families of MD/VA/NC and points south and west. The book has 737 pages, hard bound and has lots of references and source data. If any questions, just let me know. Please send this to any interested party not on the above mailing list. Regards, Jim Richey _TeRealtor@aol.com_ (mailto:TeRealtor@aol.com) 1044 Eleuthera Dr., Palm Bay, FL 32905

There's an old Browning Bible on Ebay right now. This is not my family. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5625845635 Here's some of the info from the auction listing ON THE FIRST FAMILY HISTORY PAGE IT BEGINS WITH: William L.

BROWNING, JAMES NATHAN (1850-1921). James Nathan Browning, attorney and lieutenant governor of Texas, son of William F. and Mary L. (Burke) Browning, was born on a farm near Arkadelphia, Clark County, Arkansas, on March 13, 1850. His father died when James was four, and his mother later married J. F. Stegall. The Civil Warqv ended early school advantages for Browning, but he educated himself during his spare time. In 1866 the family moved to Cooke County, Texas. After working as a cowboy in Stephens County for a year, Browning went into partnership with his brother Joe in the cattle business at Fort Griffin, a venture that often brought the partners in contact with Indian warfare. While ranching at Fort Griffin, Browning studied law under C. K. Stribling. He was admitted to the bar at Albany in 1876 and served for a while as justice of the peace, then as Shackelford county attorney for two years. He turned reforming zeal against gambling and other frontier vices and taught a Sunday school class. He married Cornelia E. Beckham, who died in childbirth two years later. He subsequently married Virginia Bozeman, on March 9, 1879; they had five sons and four daughters. In 1881 Browning resigned as county attorney and moved to Mobeetie, where he was appointed attorney of the Thirty-fifth Judicial District by Governor Oran M. Roberts.qv He was elected to four terms as representative in the Texas legislature from the Forty-third District, in 1882, 1884, 1886, and 1890. As a legislator he led the "free grass" elements in opposition to the leasing of large tracts of school lands to big cattle raisers in Northwest Texas. He also served as a member of the committees on penitentiaries and irrigation and was chairman of the judiciary committee. Browning's honesty and fairness won the respect of his constituents, who bestowed upon him the nickname "Honest Jim." In 1888 he declined to run again for the legislature and moved his law practice from Mobeetie to Clarendon. In February 1896 he moved to Amarillo and formed a law partnership with W. H. Madden, with whom he remained for the next sixteen years. In 1898, after nomination by the Texas Democratic convention, Browning was elected to his first term as lieutenant governor. Before he took office, his son Fred was fatally injured by a fall from a horse. Browning was reelected lieutenant governor on the Democratic ticket with Governor Joseph D. Sayers.qv After leaving office in 1903 he was appointed to the University of Texas Board of Regents by Governor S. W. T. Lanham.qv In 1904 Browning opened his own law firm in Amarillo. He was elected district judge in 1906 and served for eight years. Throughout his later years he was active in his community as a Mason, a Shriner, and a member of the local Methodist church. He died at Amarillo on November 9, 1921, and was buried there in Llano Cemetery

Nathan P. Browning d1845 one later after John ?Radford? Browning d1844. He was also in the War of 1812 together with Captain John Browning. (I am still researching Captain John Browning.) Adrian >> Click here: SHHVI_10 (Nathan P. Browning estate sale) Obituary--Departed this life on Wednesday, the 4th ult., at his residence in the county of Washington, of the La Grippe, in the 53rd year of his age, Mr. Nathan P. BROWNING. Mr. BROWNING was a professor of Christianity--a native of the State of Georgia, and emigrated to this country in 1838, in the character of a farmer, to which he was an ornament and stood unequalled. As a father, he was doating, as a friend he was devoted, and his ear was ever open to the whims of his neighbors and the distressed. As a citizen he was zealous in the support of his country and in defending her in her rights. On being asked if he was afraid of death, he calmly answered in the affirmative, what would life avail me [not legible]. Then calling his children around him, involked his earthly blessing on them and bid them good-by. The usual obituary themes would do but inadequate justice to the memory of the deceased. He has left behind a large family of children, numerous friends, and extensive acquaintances to follow in mourning to the resting place of the dead. May we all be as well prepared. 12/17/1845 >>

I have no idea how my John Browning ties in with any VA Brownings. My John Browning lived in Clay County, KY from about 1816 to the 1921 tax list - and then he disappeared. He was married to Mary (Polly) Rader, who was remarried to Moses Ambrose in 1836. It appears that he died, but who knows? His son George was born ca 1814 in VA. The Raders (Henry Rader and Jane Walters Rader) also came from VA. The probable children of John and Polly Browning are: George born ca 1814 who married Sally Bowles, Elizabeth born ca 1815 who married Charles Spivey, Julia Ann Browning born ca 1818 who married Thomas Canter (my line), Jane Browning (born ca 1818) who married John Simpson and John Browning (born ca 1820/21) who married Alsey Bishop. A descendent of Nancy Canter Stipe (grandchild of John and Polly) claims the family had some "Indian blood". I found this in writing in the KY History Center - it was written by a lady from NY around 1981 or so. I have no idea where this Indian blood may come from - if it was Brownings or Canters or whoever. This line is in the Browning book, written by me. Pat

Charles, Your records likely come from Edwin Franklin Browning's book "Genealogy of the Brownings in America from 1621 to 1908," which has been proven to be pretty unreliable. It seems that EFB mixed two families together to create one. This is a long story so bear with me. According to EFB, page 449, John and Elizabeth Demarest Browning had several children - James, b. 1745, Joshua, b. 1746, Enos, b. 1751, Frances, b. Nov 24, 1753, John , b. May 17, 1757, William, b. 1759, George, b. 1761., Eunice, b. about 1762, and Daniel, b. about 1764. It goes onto say that John who married Elizabeth Demarest, died in 1803, age 75 years. Now, on page 461 the book gives the name "Captain John Radford Browning" to the son of John and Elizabeth Demarest Browning. Notice that here the son is called John Radford and in the original listing he is called John. This is where the problems become apparent. EFB states that John Radford Browning married first Miss Culbertson in about 1780 and Nancy Peebles in about 1790. He lists 16 children of John and Nancy Peebles Browning, that John died in Arkansas and that he went to Thomas Co., GA in 1792 leaving Georgia in 1840 to head for Arkansas. Well, he has this information all mixed up. John Browning did indeed marry Nancy Peebles, county unknown. He went from Greene County, Georgia to what was Montgomery County, Alabama later Lowndes County. He lived there with his wife and most of his children, some of whom married there and buried children there. There are deed records, church records, cemetery records and more to substantiate this. I can give you tons of evidence on this family that would prove to you that the John Browning in EFB's book was never called Radford at all. We have been able to trace fourteen of the sixteen children. The two that we have not been able to trace seem to belong to a different Browning who could be John Radford Browning. EFB's book also states that William Browning, son of John and Elizabeth Demarest Browning, went to Thomas County, Georgia as well. He lists five daughters all who match in name to William Browning who went with Montgomery, later Lowndes County, Alabama just before his brother, John came with his family (this is John and Nancy Peebles Browning). He also came from Greene County, GA. William actually had ten children and had the dates a bit mixed up a bit. So, you see, the John Radford thing is a real mess. I have been very brief here but can go deeper if you need it. Now, Thomas County was not a county until 1825. It wasn't even part of any Georgia county in 1792. There was a Radford Browning there of an age that would match EFB's son of John & Elizabeth Demarest, who was in Montgomery Co., GA and then onto Thomas County. There was a William and a John C. in Thomas County later as well, who could have been this Radford's children. I am working on this to see if there is any connection to be made. There was also a George in Montgomery County, GA who could be this Radford's brother. He was in the part that later became part of Terrell County, I think. Could be wrong on the county as I am still working on this. The point is, I think that EFB mixed up the children of John & Elizabeth Demarest Browning with other people of the correct generation. There was a John Browning who died in 1803 in Greene County, GA, the same year as the John who married E. Demarest died. This John's will, though just doesn't mesh correctly with what is in EFB's book. Among his heirs listed were sons John and William, the same John and William who came to Montgomery, later Lowndes, County, Alabama. EFB does NOT say John died in Greene County, only that he died in 1803 at age 75 years. It seems that over the years (EFB was published in 1909) people have made assumptions that the John of Greene County was the same John who married Elizabeth Demarest. We can't truly say for sure. The John of Greene County had been married before but had remarried Suzanne Boring, widow of Joseph Boring, of Caswell Co., NC. The bottom line is that we do not know for sure if this is the same John who married Elizabeth and that the children in EFB's book are correct. My take on it is that the listings of the children with their spouses and children are incorrect. Perhaps the children of John and Elizabeth as listed with them are correct and EFB replaced one set of children with another. So, you need to rethink giving the name "Radford" to your John. If you have evidence to show who your John Radford is, please let us know because this has caused no end of headaches to many Browning researchers and anything you can share to help clear up this mess would be greatly appreciated.

Betseylee, is this Jonathan related to Charles Benton Browning. My wife's GGGF. Her Browning family moved from Tn to Tx after the Civil War and her grandfather and father name's were also named Charles Benton Browning. Ron

Pat, We are talking about two different people. I am talking about Francis the son of John Browning and Elizabeth Demarest. Not John above and his brother.
