Could you please update me with the descendants of George. I have his family but no spouses or anything. If I find out more on Nancy I will let you know. I am coming out to Brushy Fork TN to do the roadside monument for Jonathan Browning in early October. If you would like to attend I will let you know more details.

I apologize for the repeat but I've misplaced the orignal response someone was so kind to give. I had been inquiring about information on Thomas Browning of KY and the responder indicated a website of a fellow who can look up death certs for $1. I seem to recall the background of the website was green. If anyone has the link to this I'd be most appreciated. Thanks! Kristine __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Hi I have just joined this list and hope SKS can help. I am particularly searching for a Bradley RICKARDS from Kelowna in BC=British Colombia I guess? He is researching the same family as I. I am searching for any family connected to Adelaide(ada)Knowles BROWNING born 1844 at 52 Park Street Bristol. She married (1)Henry Daniel RICKARDS 1865. (2) Thomas ARIS 1873. She died 12/1/1906 at Towcester in Northhampton.Any info etc would be gratefully accepted. Helen McNamara New Zealand

I relate to Joseph Rush Browning through his only son, Joseph Rush Browning Jr., by Julia A. Moore. Joseph Sr. may have died while Julia was pregnant with Joseph Jr. Joseph Jr. was my great-grandfather. Julia married Joseph Sr. Feb 16, 1854 in Lowndes, Ala. Family lore has Joseph Jr. as being born 5 Apr 1854, this would have been two months after the marriage. I have found on census records that he would have been born in 1855. There is a great deal more to this story but I would like to make sure I am subscribed and this makes it to the right place. Thanks to all. Patty Williams Childress

Hey, Pat, Don't forget to give your source for this information. There is an ongoing controversy over just which John, William, Francis and more were the actual children of John and Elizabeth Demarest Browning. Seems the book "Genealogy of the Brownings in America from 1621 to 1908," by Edwin Franklin Browning, is full of errors, omissions, and plain mixing of families. So, it would be greatly appreciated if you gave your sources for your information when saying who belongs to whom. Could be that you have the missing piece of evidence that will help us all and put this controversy to rest.

It is in the possession of Grace Reynolds Gilmer Lynch of Lebanon, Virginia and has been contributed by Mrs. Mary Jane Knisely of Orlando, Florida who advises that this Browning family lived in Russell County, Virginia. Mrs. Rebecca (Browning) dickenson, age 92, grand-daughter of Francis Browning states that his son Jesse married Nancy Vermillion and died at about age 20-21, leaving one son James Scott Browning born ca. 1801 and reared by his grandfather Francis Browning. James S. married Sally Price. Nancy (Vermillion) Browning married twice more and had several children by her third husband Taylor. Russell County, Virginia, Will Books provide the following supplementary information. Will of James s. Browning, 14 Jan 1866, Jesse Browning, Exec (8:31) Appraisal of estate of Jessee Browning, 23 Apr. 1806; adm. Francis Browning's application to make a dam and grist mill, 25 Feb 1809.

[New Jersey], addressed to "Dear Sister," and signed Henry Hendricks.

I ran across this in a book has anyone ever seen these Deeds? On March 9, 1778, shortly after Caswell County was erected from Orange County, Francis entered 150 acres of land on Storeys Creek between land claimed by his brother Jonathan and their father. The grant for this parcel was recorded on March 3, 1779. On Dec 20, 1779, he sold his 150 acres before moving to present day Jonesboro, TN. Jonathan is a new name to me. Jim Shepherd .

I am stuck on trying to find out more about this family. Anyone have any ideas? I am really stuck. I am making a trip to Sumner County in a couple months and want to search somewhere there. Thomas Phelps born abt 1802 married 27 Apr 1821 in Gallatin, Sumner, TN married Nancy Browning d/o Edmund Browning/Sarah Barbara Allen born abt 1802 died: Leila Rock ( I thought they might mean Little Rock, AR) I found these Phelps in the census records but no Thomas.

I am not sure why Edmund Harrison is involved in the guardianship of Emily, but be sure I will look into it closely. > TO J.G. DAVIS FROM ELIZABETH BROWNING FEB 27 >1840 Likely just a receipt of doing business in the estate records for this particular Browning family. William and Elizabeth are buried in the Mt. Gilead Baptist Church in Trickem, not far from Benton. This is in the northwest part of the county. William, his family and his brother, John and his family, came from Greene Co., Georgia to this northwestern part of what became Lowndes County in about 1820. I could tell you a closer date, but that is not the point of this missive. Now to the point. There is no evidence, so far, that Joseph Rush Browning is related to William or John Browning. I have found nothing, so far, to connect them. Joseph Rush Browning was born about 1815 (from census records) in South Carolina. He married Mariah Zuber in Lowndes County, AL on April 11, 1843 (marriage book 1, page 365). They are in Hayneville in the census records, which is in the northeast quadrant of the county and not close to Benton really. Their known children were: Peyton Graves Browning, born about 1844 Laura V. Browning, born about 1846 Lavina L. Browning, born about 1848 John P. Browning, born about 1852 > JOSEPH R BROWNING JUNE 1854 > LAVINIA BROWNING 1860 > LAURA V BROWNING > 17 BALES OF COTTON > PEYTON G BROWNING APRIL 1861.. > PHILIP M BALTZEZAR 1867 GUARDIAN OF JOHN P BROWNING AND PEYTON G >BROWNING... > JOHN P BROWNING LOWNDES CO ALA It is likely that all of the above IS related to Joseph Rush Browning's estate being they were his children. In the 1860 US Census, Joseph is apparently deceased as Lavinia is living with Phillip M. Baltezar and he is apparently the administrator of J. R. Browning's estate. I was not able to find any of the other children in the 1860 census, again, so far. J. R. Browning married Mary W. Zuber on Nov 5, 1835 (marriage book 1, page 138) Joseph R. Browning married Mariah Zuber on Apr 11, 1843 (marriage book 1, page 365) Joseph R. Browning married Julia Moor on Feb 16, 1854 (marriage book 2, page 206) P. G. Browning married Florence E. Rives on November 11, 1868 in Lowndes County (marriage book A, page 137) Lavinia M. Browning married John E. Brasell in Lowndes County on October 4, 1866 (marriage book 2, page 789) I know that there is an intensive search on Joseph Rush and trying to find his parents. I will also go to my local family history library (next week - appointments today and can't go) and take another look at the estate records I have on microfilm there. I just have never come across anything to connect Joseph Rush to anyone. Sorry I couldn't help you with that.

I dug this up from my files. My brother Ted read this LDS film years ago and did not print. He is gone now. Whoever wants must reorder this from LDS. There might be of some value in Joseph Rush Browning and son Peyton G. Browning. Elsewhere, I think I have some CSA info on Peyton. Possible misspells? Good luck!

Pat, my records Shadrach Browning married Peggy (Margaret) Route, Mar 20, 1794, Cul. Co., VA (not Polly). Son Francis Browning married Jane Moore, and he died in Logan Co., KY. He left a will there naming his brothers and sisters as heirs. He died c1815, as he did not mention any children, I will assume he had none. Regards, Jim Richey

Actually, it is most likely Francis J. Browning who is mentioned later in the transcription. As we all know, the letters "I" and "J" looked remarkably alike in the writing of the time. I am sure this because the very next statement names Francis, his wife, his brother-in-law and his sister: "Brother Samuel was chosen as Moderator and Brother Francis I. Browning as Clerk. The initial membership was six in number: four were received by letter--Brother Francis I. Browning, Sister Sarah R. Browning, Brother Michael Bozeman, and Sister Lucy Ann Bozeman." Francis "Frank" John Browning, son of John and Nancy Peebles Browning, married Sarah Peak Veazy (the R above should be P, again handwriting readability) and Frank's sister, Lucy Ann married Michael Bozeman, son of Nathan and Harriet Knotts Bozeman, in Montgomery Co, AL on September 24, 1827. They lived in what became Lowndes County, AL in 1830. Frank married Sarah on in Montgomery Co., AL. Sarah's mother, Sarah Veazy, left a will in Montgomery County, AL that named her sons and daughter, Sarah P. Veazy. John Browning was the executor and Francis J. Browning was a witness. (See the will transcribed at: http://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/al/montgomery/wills/sveazy.txt) Later in the piece was the following statement: Then on 6 Jan 1838, on a motion and second, the church appointed "Breathren John P. Hall and F. J. Browning to wait on brother Moses More and site him to the Conference for disorderly conduct." Notice that it is F. J. Browning. I am sure that it should have been transcribed as Francis J, not I, but this sort of thing happens all the time. Census records also bear this out.

Click here: http://members.tripod.com/damoore/bio1.html Interesting - just a portion below. Check it all.!!! I understand that the Bozeman land was bought by Brownings. John and Nancy Browning are buried in the Bozeman Cemetery. Adrian JUDGE MOSES MOORE: Building a Case for his Origins, Life, and Progeny Moses Moore & Mount Bethel Church An account of Moses Moore's life in Clark County would be incomplete without mentioning his membership at Mount Bethel Baptist Church. A Dr. Smith wrote that when he first came to Clark County in 1833, there were two other Baptists in the county--Judge Moses Moore and his wife. On 27 Aug 1836 a group met in the schoolhouse in Caddo Township for the purpose of organizing a local Baptist church. Brother Elder Allen Samuel of the Saline Church preached a sermon from 1 Peter 2:4 & 5, after which the brethren and sisters "agreed to receive Brother Samuel there presbytery to Constitute them into a church." Brother Samuel was chosen as Moderator and Brother Francis I. Browning as Clerk. The initial membership was six in number: four were received by letter--Brother Francis I. Browning, Sister Sarah R. Browning, Brother Michael Bozeman, and Sister Lucy Ann Bozeman; "Brother Moses More and Sister Jane More came forward and was Received by Voucher." A copy of the Confession of Faith for the Saline Church was presented and was received as the Confession for the newly formed Mount Bethel Church. At the end of the meeting, an invitation was given for new members, at which time Mary McDaniel and Winny Ann Malone came forward and were "received by experance."After the church's first meeting, it appears that Moses Moore did not attend services for almost a year. Among the earlier records are two instances wherein Moses Moore was "cited." On 24 June 1837 "the Church met in Conferance took up the case of Brother More for not attending Church meting since August last therefore Brother Radford McCargo and Michael Bozeman be a committy to labour with Brother More to asertain the cause why why [sic] he does not attend Church Conferances." The committee reported on 22 July 1837 that they had done as the church had instructed them, and "Brother More being preasant gave the Church Satisfaction." Then on 6 Jan 1838, on a motion and second, the church appointed "Breathren John P. Hall and F. J. Browning to wait on brother Moses More and site him to the Conferance for disorderly conduct." The nature of this disorderly conduct was not disclosed. The case appears to have been unresolved by 23 June 1838 when it was ordered by the church that "Breathren John P. Hall and Michael Bozeman be appointed to visit brother More and site him to the next Conferance." Finally on 1 Sept 1838, while the church was in conference, they "Took up the case of Brother More he being preasant gave the Church Satisfaction." Moses must have met with the church's approval, for at that same meeting the church "Appointed Brethren Moses More Radford McCargo and M Bozeman to examin the Clerks Book."Moses and Jane Moore remained as members at Mt. Bethel
