Dear June (Cpzb4@aol.com) Thank you for this copy of the 1850 census for VA Webster entries. You have sent these to me before. I have them all beautifully referenced in my database. The 1820 and 1840 information was interesting and supported what I already had. Unfortunately, I still cannot diagnose who Daddy Webster was! Yesterday I was very fortunate to receive a photograph of my Annie Haislip Brawner--the lady who started off this search. I decided to find out why she had Haislip in her name. It goes something like this: Henry Brawner married Elizabeth Barton in about 1726 in Prince George Co, MD. They had several children including a son Henry and daughter Abigail. Henry married Wilhemina Lloyd Cornish had four children including John Cornish Brawner and then died. Fortunately for me there was a lot of trouble about the will all recorded in the Maryland Archives. The family seems to have moved from Prince George Co to Charles Co and lived in the Piscataway area. They were parishioners at Durham Parish Church. Unfortunately for us, the records of Durham Parish were stolen about 1800--just the time I needed to look at. We do know John Cornish Brawner married Grace?? and had 10 children in Charles Co. He died about 1810. His son Henry moved to VA and married Elizabeth Anness in Alexandria in 1815. We lose them at this point and Elizabeth reappears in Dumfries as a widow in 1850. This family also had 10 children, one of whom was John Thomas Brawner. Thomas married a widow Lucy Ann (Brawner) Clark and had Annie Haislip Brawner. On the other side, Abigail Brawner (d/o Henry and Elizabeth Barton) married James Haislip of Port Tobacco, Charles Co. They eventually moved to Fairfax Co and were buried on Suddath land. Their headstones are now in Pohick Church for safekeeping. Abigail's headstone states quite clearly she was the daughter of H and EB Brawner. The Haislips had 4 children: Henry, Reason, Cassandra and Lucy. Lucy married a Webster and this is stated in the probate papers for her mother's will. (However, which Webster is not clear. It mentions a P Webster, but this is not conclusive proof that Philip Webster was her husband.) Lucy Ann (Brawner) Clark's parents were William Lloyd Brawner and Lucy Ann Webster. Among their children, their only son is names John Philip Brawner. Since William's father is listed as John on his death certificate, it is not too far to stretch to Philip as Lucy Ann's father. Lucy Ann Webster was Annie Haislip Brawner's maternal grandmother. So my conclusion is that Annie Haislip Brawner's parents were cousins of some sort. William Lloyd and Henry Brawner are quite likely to have been sons of John Cornish Brawner. Lucy Haislip Webster and John Cornish Brawner shared the same great grandparents. Lucy Ann (Brawner) Clark seems to have named her daughter after her own great-grandmother (Abigail Haislip). Few leaps of faith there! It would be nice to have some sort of solid proof that my supposition is correct. Cheers Lynne Simpson Canberra Australia
