Anyone on the list working on the Brownings and Lonshores ? I have been researching off and on the family of Nicholas Browning. I came across a marriage for a F. M. Browning and Elizabeth Longshore ? in Lauderdale County, Alabama on Sept. 20, 1864. I am thinking this is Francis Marion Browning, son of Viney Browning. I located Marion Browning and his wife, Elizabeth in Giles County in 1870: Marion Browning, w , m , 25 , Alabama Elizabeth, 32, Tennessee Susan, 13 , Tennessee ( who is she, too old to be their daughter ). Inas, 4 , Tennessee James , 3 , Tennessee Rebecca, 7 months, Tennessee I cannot seem to locate them in 1880. However in 1900 they are in Limestone County, Alabama, this time there is a Kissie Longshore listed as their niece, born Aug. 1881, she is 18, born in Tennessee. Living next door is their son, Claud ( e ) Browning and his family and next door to Claud (e) is his brother J. W. Browning and his family. Many thanks Robbie
