I want to added to this. In Looking for Jousha Browning that married Nancy Ann Scott. He died in 1814 in Bourbon Co.KY. I was running names for marriages, Browning - Scott, Found .... Ritson Browning m 1802 in Baltimore MD to Ann Scott. That interesting as Joshua Browning (below) was mention as son of Writson (Ritson). Make me wonder if there is not a connection to those in Boubon Co. Ky area to this family. Does anybody know??
