Browning's in VA and WV
Before I begin, I want everyone to know that I have no proof on what I am posting here. If I have proof I will state so. I am looking for my Miles Browning's father and mother. I have seen alot of info on the internet as to who this may be. I would like to find some documentation to prove my line. I am a collector of all info I can find on Brownings and related families. I have some ideas, but I seem to be going in circles. I have seen two stories of Brownings coming to Russell Co., VA. The first is Francis and Edmund Browning along with their brother in law Barnabus Curry coming to Logan Co. from NC ca 1812. The second is that three Brownings came to Logan Co. ca 1800. Two were brothers,Edmund and Francis. The other is believed to be related, but no relation has been proven. His name was William. William is said to have only had daughters. Edmund and Francis are the sons of Enos Browning b.1751. I am most interested in Capt. Francis Browning who married Elizabeth Vermillion. Elizabeth is the daughter of William Jesse Vermillion and Ann Wilson. I have their children as follows:Jesse,James who married Jane Gibson,Nancy,Mary,William,Francis Jr.,John B. who married Sally Burk,and Wilson. James who married Jane Gibson(f.Thomas Gibson/m.Agnes Perry)had the following children(there is some question if these are his):William,John B.,Charles C.,Sarah,Elizabeth,Thomas,James Carroll,Harvey,Samuel T.,Wesley,Andrew Perry, and Nancy P. Is there anyone out there who has more info on these lines? The 1850 Logan Co.,VA census has the following:
#24 Abner Vance 54
#25 Simeon Browning 23
#26 Catharine Browning 69
#28 William Browning 28
#29 Oliver Browning 26

#537 James Brewster 34
#552 Hiram McCoy48(I believe this to be my Evaline's father)
#567 Clark,Henry(head)-Allen Deal 27
Listed on this census is more names of Curry,White,Toney,Workman,Mullins,Dial,Deal,Ellis,Dillion, Steel,Adams,McCoy,Perry,and McClouds.
I have the following surnames in my line:Browning,McCoy,Toney,Workman,Mullins,Dillion,Adams,and more. I had recieved info from a cousin who helped me get started. She sent me the following. Miles Browning b. 1823 married 1st Evaline McCoy dau of Hiram McCoy. He married 2nd Margaret Brewster widow of John McCloud. Miles was a Union soldier who enlisted in Pike Co., KY. When he married the 2nd time, he listed his parents as F. Browning and E. Melton. Matilida his sister listed on her 2nd marriage that her parents were F.(Frank) Browning and E.(Ethel) Milton as posted by Everet Vance on this board. My Miles was listed on census' the following:
1850-Logan Co. as Deal
1860-Pike Co., KY as Browning
1870-Logan Co., with Evaline
1880-Wayne Co., with Margaret
My questions are:
Who is Miles' father and mother, does the documentation exist? Did Ethel marry Frank? Was she a mistress? Did Ethel marry a Deal? Why did Miles go by Deal? Is it possible that Francis Browning who married Tabitha Vance sire 4 children with Sarah Sword and my Ethel? What a tangled web! Can anyone help me with this?
