Hi Nan in San Diego, I'm also researching the Brownings in GA, TN, and TX. Do you have William H. Browning md. Elmina Shy in Sumner Co., TN.? After Wm died, Elmirna and her children moved to Fannin Co., TX. William was born in GA to Ira Browning or Montgomery Co., GA and Effie Clements from Telfair Co., GA. They married and lived in Montgomery Co. Carolyn from the Bay Area.
