Surnames: BROWNING - DUNCAN - McGINNIS - STEWART - CARR - JOHNSON - GRANT Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/HNG.2ACEB/2662.2.1 Message Board Post: I appreciate your interest & help, Kathy. Here is what I know about the folks you list. Celia's parents were Benjamin & Jeannette Samantha DUNCAN BROWNING of While, Johnson & Pope Counties in Illinois. Ben & Jeannette were my GGreat-Grandparents. James M. STEWART & M. C. BROWNING. She is Mary Catherine "Molly" McGINNIS and is my Great-Grandmother. She married 1) James Wesley "Wes" BROWNING in 1898. He was the son of Ben & Jeannette BROWNING and brother of Celia. "Wes" died in 1899, 3 wks before my Grandma, Jeannette BROWNING SOPER, was born. "Molly" married 2) Jim STEWART as shown here. Martha E. BROWNING m. George W. JOHNSON. Martha was a niece to my Ben BROWNING. Her parents were John Delap & Serena CARR BROWNING. Mary BROWNING m. T. J. HALL - I don't know for sure who these folks are. However, she MAY be another niece of my Ben. His brother, Thomas, had a daughter, Mary. Her age would be about right, but I don't know if they are one and the same. I have a Permelia A. BROWNING in my file. She is the daughter of Joshua N. BROWNING & Mary Matilda ROBERTSON. Joshua was a 1st cousin of my Ben. Now, William R. DUNCAN MAY be the nephew of my Jeannette Samantha DUNCAN BROWNING (Celia's Mom). Jeannette's brother, William "Carrell" DUNCAN did have a son, William R. whose age would be right. And, finally, Sarah BROWNING who married F. E. (Francis Edward) GRANT is another daughter of John Delap & Serena CARR BROWNING. Don't worry, there won't be a test. <grin> Happily in Christ, Harlene
