| William
Browning born abt 1741 |
| Sarah
Browning born abt 1742 possibly married Charles Duncan
Archives, Richmond, VA:**** Petition of Sarah Duncan, October 28,
1793; The petition of Sarah Duncan, widow of Charles Duncan, dec'd, Mary,
Nimrod, William, Charles, Shadrack Duncan, children of the said Charles
Duncan and Sarah Duncan, in behalf of themselves and Isaac, John, Milly,
Henry, Zachery and Elizabeth Duncan, children of the aforesaid Charles and
Sarah Duncan, but now under age, humbly showeth that in March 1789, the
aforesaid Charles Duncan died intestate leaving aforesaid heirs to a certain
tract of land in Culpeper Co., 355 acres which according to the laws of the
State must be equally divided among the said children, but such is the
situation, it will by no means admit of a division and your petitioners
humbly pray that an act may pass vesting the said lands in the hands of John
Thornton, John Slaughter Jr., Charles Browning, Isaac Browning, Gent., or
any three of them to dispose of on the most advantageous terms for the
benefit of the said widow and children aforesaid. Signed Sarah Duncan.
Witnesses (MAD: sic): Mary Covington, Nimrod Duncan, William Duncan, Charles
Duncan and Shadrack Duncan.**** From the petition
it can be seen the Charles Duncan’s wife was named Sarah, also note that
Charles and Isaac named in the petition are the brothers of Sarah Browning.
Thus we have the inference that Sarah Browning is the wife of Charles Duncan but not enough to prove the relationship. |
| Shadrach
Browning born abt 1743 possibly married Margaret Peggy Routt Mar 20, 1794 in
Culpeper County Virginia. Marriage Index: Selected Counties of MD, NC,
VA, 1624-1915, (Broderbund
Banner Blue Division), "CD-ROM," Sec 4, Chapter 16. If
this Shadrach Browning married Margaret he would have been abt 51 when
married, options, Margaret was second wife, Shadrach was born later than
1743, or the spouse of Margaret is a different Shadrach. It would be highly
unlikely that Shadrach would wait until that late in life to marry for the
first time. |
