"Congratulations Ann" Good afternoon all you Browning researchers, My Browning line begins with Samuel Browning B:1780-1787?Va., D:1860 age 80? in Bullitt Co.Ky. Samuel married Mary Fields 1815 in Nelson Co. Ky. Their marriage has Samuel (Browing). Have Samuel Living in Washington County Ky., 1820-1840's with other Browning Families,Their names are 1820 James, Francis and Samuel 1830 Whitfield, Ruben, and Samuel 1840 Ruben and Samuel Then on the 1850 census Samuel Browning is living in Barren Co. Kentucky. with wife and children. Mary Fields was born in Maryland according to the 1850 census, her Father was Joseph Fields Deceased according to the Marriage. There were Many "FIELDS" living in Washington Co.Ky. between 1820-1840. Samuel and Mary's "CHILDREN" moved to Bullitt Co. Ky. and Samuel Ky, in Nelson which borders Bullitt Co. I have a newspaper article talking about the Browning's coming in to Bullitt Co. Kentucky before the Civil War. Samuel had a Brother name John Browning he died in Bullitt Co. in 1894 his age is hard to determine, he must have been the youngest Brother of Samuel he states born in Washington Co. Ky. also the Article mentions Grandma Greenwell ? I Have two wills to check in Washington Co. Kentucky, maybe they will be some sort of lead!!! Kentucky had a great deal of Brownings, which makes researching them a Big Hair pulling experience. These Brownings married into: BROOKS, HILTON, GREENWELL, ASH, FIELDS and PUGH/PEW. Hope to find some answers, going to the Kentucky Archives is helping, I have been researching Samuel Browning for about 6 years, "off and on" I guess he would be MY BRICK WALL. Samuel L.
