I'm interested in additional info. What was her maiden name? When did she and William marry? The years married on the census record is marked over. I "think" they may have put down something/12 and then put a "0" over it to designate they'd not been married a year yet. June 6, 1900 Johnson County, Illinois Census Jerseyville P. O., Burnside Twp.

Does anyone have info on them? He shows William's parents as Thomas Browning and Susa Robinson Browning who were married Aug. 31, 1856 in Pope Co. Any info or clues would be greatly appreciated. I am trying to figure out if these Browning's connect to my line. Happily in Christ, Harlene Soper Brown
