Surnames: Browning Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.browning/1548.1.1.1/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Hi, My grandfather was Ray Browning from Logan, West Virginia. You might try googling Captain John Browning who settled in Jamestown, VA in 1622. You are probably part of the same line as my family. My uncle also found a book at the Library of Congress called The Browning Book that had a lot of geneology of the Brownings. Hope this info is helpful to you. Linda Harris
