One more item to add to the Joshua mix: I'm tracking my Browning line, which currently doglegs at Isaac T. Browning, Jr. once thought to be Isaac Norman Browning, Jr. s/o Isaac Norman Browning, Sr. s/o Francis... We now know this to be untrue. Isaac T. Jr and an Isaac T. Sr. appear in LA in the early 1800's. From records, we have learned that Sr. is the uncle of Jr., not the father, and that Sr. is definitely not Isaac Norman. Sr. and Jr. are related somehow to a Benjamin Browning and a Patrick or Peter Browning in this early-1800's timeframe. So far I haven't found their ancestors... Here's where you come in: apparently, my Isaacs were found in the presence of a Joshua and several other Brownings in Amite Co, MS, ca 1800. We are currently seeking these records to verify. If this is true, here's another late-1700's Joshua to account for...

Like I thought the Joshua IN THE WILL is one of the 'other' Joshuas. Joshua Browning b: 29 January 1758 in Virginia d: 10 January 1807 in Clarke Co., GA . +Margaret Rankin b: 15 December 1754 in North Carolina m: Abt. 1773 in North Carolina d: 13 July 1842 in Clarke Co., GA My BROWNING research had a setback early-on in the 1980s and I have not yet had the stomach to jump back into research on this family. I was using a large chart found at the Putnam Co., IN library. It has many mistakes. I was so hoping to find some document in Bourbon Co., or Culpeper Co., VA to clarify the matter. There is also a Joshua in the Maryland family. I'm not even sure where Nancy SCOTT is documented. I think my Joshua BROWNIGN ( 1746-1814) m. Nancy SCOTT and died in KY.
