My name is Elaine Albrecht. My GGG Grandfather was John W. Browning, born June 12, 1833 and died Dec. 22, 1927, in Braxton Co., WV. He married Mary Christina Shumaker, Nov. 22, 1855. I am decended through his son, James Wesley Browning, born June 16, 1864 in Upshur Co. and died Oct. 13, 1922. He married Emily Jane Cutlip, August 31, 1884. Their youngest son was James Oscar Browning, born July 26, 1894 and died March 24, 1980. He married Mary Jane Harrison, May 4, 1917. Their daughter Phyllis June Browning, born June 20, 1920 and died January 27, 1999, was my mother. She married Paul Hinkle. I suspect, but can't prove, that a William H. Browning, listed in the 1850, Barbour Co. census was my John W. Browning's father. One of William H. Browning's children in the census was John W. Browning and of about the right age. Also my ggg grandfather John Browning named his first son, William H. Browning.
