Patty, I can't explain the differences in age or the middle initial "E" recorded on the census for Sarah--a lot of records are just plain wrong. However, if your grandmother's origins were indeed in Muhlenberg County, I'll bet you have the right Vincent Browning--even though her mother was *not* Elizabeth Wright. By the way, I noted Vincent's age as 32 on the 1870 census, as opposed to the age 22 you cite; I think only Vincent's third wife was ten years older. Vincent, the son of Caleb Browning and Sarah "Sally" Gray, married three times. The Wright children on the 1880 census are Letitia/Luticia's children from a previous marriage. Vincent Browning born 22 May 1837, KY; died 24 Sep 1893; buried in Mt. Pisgah Church Cem, Muhlenberg Co KY. Research: 1850, 1860 Muhlenberg Co KY Census with parents. 1870 Muhlenberg Co KY Census as Vince J. 1880 Muhlenberg Co KY Census. Muhl Co Marriages 1851-74: Vincent m. Martha A. Ford 27 May 1864; m. Mary E. Moore 17 Apr 1866; m. Leutitia Wright 7 Aug 1871. Vincent had one child: Sarah E. (1867-) (middle initial "E" and year of birth are from the 1870 census); Sarah could be the daughter of either Martha A. Ford or Mary E. Moore -- depending on which date of birth, 1865 or 1867, is the correct one. Vincent's third wife was Leutitia Highley Wright born 3 Nov 1828 in Muhlenberg Co KY, died in Muhlenberg Co KY 28 Mar 1907; buried in Mt. Pisgah Church Cem. Research: 1850 Muhlenberg Co KY Census (p204B with husband William Wright) as Lutetia, age 20, b KY. 1880 Muhlenberg Co KY Census as Lutiece Browning. 1875 Muhlenberg Co KY Settlements: Letitia Browning, guardian of Charles R., Nellie A. and Edward W. Wright (children from her previous marriage). Letitia's first husband was William A. Wright; her parents were Charles Vincent Highley & Elizabeth Highley. Hope this helps.
