I am related to the Brownings there although I live in Florida. The Leslie Co. Brownings descend through Jacob Browning from Virginia to Harlan Co. Ky. He was married to Sarah Clem. A part of Knox Co became part of newly formed Harlan in I believe 1819. The Rootsweb.com sight has a lot of Info on this family. I descend through Jane Browning, Jacob's daughter and James Harlan Thomas. Dan, Preston, Wilson and later Cash and Carter Browning were all raised in Leslie Co. at head of Second Fork. Sorry I don't have the time this week to check out your specific individual. However I think you can check the descendancy on this site and afterwards check for state/county records. Harlan County Website has the most Info since Leslie Co wasn't formed until about 1880 from parts of Harlan, Bell, and Perry counties
