Teresa, in addition to the below from Jane, I have a few other notes. Some of this from a Joan Browning of Gutherie, KY (1990) and I cannot find her address right now. You may find it on the internet. This is not my direct line, but I have a large collection of Browning material. I descend from the Culpeper Co., VA, Brownings, Francis & Eliz. Lloyd Browning, John & Eliz. Demarest Browning, James & Susan Hickman Browning and their son Caleb. John Browning, born c1775, left a will in Adair Co., KY, in 1844. This named wife as ANN, children: Eliza Ann, William, John, James, Mary, & Absolom He may have been from Amelia Co., VA On the 1850 census, Adair Co., KY, she is given as Nancy, age 73, VA, and is with John S Browning, her son. John Browning, died c1844, was probably a son of John & ____ Sneed Browning Have you seen Edw. F. Brownings book "The Browning Family", 1907 ? John & --- Sneed is his number 2836. This work is not all accurate, but serves as a good starting point. I have a copy if you want anything from it. If fact, several years ago some others and I started an update to the E F Browning book, but that project just faded. I started it again a couple of years ago and am getting close to having it done, as far as any genealogy can be. If you have more complete data, with references, and want me to include it, just send it to me. Please note the email address below and use it.
