My husband's grgrgrandmother is Margaret A. Browning born 1826 Kentucky, she married 1847 in Vermilion Co., IL..she died in Wayne Co., Iowa where she is buried. I have a little more information on her. Does she sound like part of your Brownings? Terry Hello, My wife's Browning line were in VA, KY, IL and then on to Wyane Co., Iowa also. Would you like to trade data? Jerry Jones
