Does anyone have info on this Burgess/Bowyer/Browning family?

This will be a little long...
I have a handwritten sheet, written by my grandmother, that lists the following:

---------------------------------------

Rachel Bowyer, 12 Mar 1800, d. 13 Nov 1839
Amelia Bowyer, b. 5 Aug 1802

[Note at the bottom of the page:]
"Engle Bowyer was my great great grandfather.
Amelia Bowyer was my great grandmother and the
mother of my grandmother Caroline Olive Browning.
She married Abram Vlerebnome - my mother's father.
My mother Bessie Eugenia Vlerebome (Shoop)"

-------------------end---------------------------

Interpreted, with additional data I know:
Amelia m. Oliver Wallace Browning.
dau. Caroline Olive Browning
m. Abram Vlerebome
dau. Bessie Eugenia Vlerebome
m. John Newton Shoop
dau. Hazel Caroline Shoop


Hazel Caroline (Shoop) Bice was my grandmother who hand-wrote this family sheet. She lived to be almost 101 years old and was quite lucid till the end.

I want any documentation that would enable me to qualify for the DAR, something my granddaugher IS REALLY EXCITED ABOUT DOING.

Oliver Wallace Browning qualifies via father: (JOHN3 BROWNING (FRANCES2 NORMAN, ISAAC1) was born 4/16/1749 in Culpeper Co., Virginia, and died 9/25/1813 in Culpeper Co., Virginia. He married ELIZABETH STROTHER 8/1774 in Culpeper Co., Virginia. She was born Abt. 1760 in Virginia.

However, I need qualifying, documentation of these marriages and birth certificates and haven't a clue where these events took place... Virginia? Illinois? Ohio? What towns? If anyone has any additional information about this, I would certainly appreciate it.

Perhaps there are qualifying members in the Burgess and Bowyers family... haven't really checked that out.

Hope my info helps sort out the confusions.

Caroline
