I am trying to find out what is known about Jesse Browning's first wife Mary Johnson. Do we know who her parents are, where they were married, etc? I am also to figure out when she died and Jesse married Mary Curry. The ages of the children are so close together, there couldn't have been much time between the death of one and the marriage of the other. Here's what I have, and I'm trying to make sure this is correct: Descendants of Rev.?
