Elizabeth Averett 9 Jun 1842 in Thomas Co., GA. I have visited that courthouse and have a copy of that marriage certificate online. I have seen so many postings at Ancestry.com that show Simpson Browning b. 1807 in Green Co., GA. He may have been born in Green Co., GA; however, he was not born in 1807. In the 1840 Thomas Co., GA Census, he is hh with one male 20-29 years and one female 50-59 years. In the 1850 Macon Co., AL Census, he is hh 31 b. GA. His family is not with him at this time and I cannot find them anywhere. I have a copy of the 1855 Alabama State Census showing Simpson Browning hh with a wife and three daughters. I know that Elizabeth was still living when her mother died. Where was Elizabeth and the children in the 1850 Census and where was the family in the 1860 AL Census? I have a copy of the CSA Service Records for Simpson Browning showing he d. Nov 1862. I have found the name of one daughter, (via family trees at Ancestry.co! m) Mary Browning, who m. Jesse Lee. How does anyone know Mary was their daughter? I know she married in Lafayette Co., AR where an uncle of hers lived before his death, and am wondering if after Simpson's death the family moved to AR. Elizabeth Averett's brother, Wilson B. Averett was my great, great grandfather. Any assistance will be appreciated.
