Notes:
From History of Browning Families, J. M. Browning, 1938. "On June 19th, 1735, a patent for 40 acres of land in St. Mark's parish, in the County of Orange, Dominion of virginia, was granted by George the Second, of Great Britain, France and Ireland, in consideration of forty shillings, to Francis Browning and John Ashley, on the nineteenth of June, one thousand seven hundred and thirty-five. Teh conditions on which this tract was granted are as follows: 'Yelding and Paying unto us, our heirs and successors, for fifty acres of land and so proportionable for a lesser or greater quantity than fifty acres, the fee rent of one shilling yearly, to be paid upon the feast of St. Michael, the Arch-angel, and also cultivating and improving three acres part of every fifty of the tract above mentioned within three years after date of these patents.'" This part of Orange County later became Culpepper County, then Rappahannock County. From Genealogy of the Browning Family (1622-1908) "The lands patented, as above stated, afterwards were known as the Browning district. They were located on the head waters of Battle Run, and on the north side of Goard Vine Creek, branches of the Rappahannock River. Francis Browning St. deeded land, in 1740, to his son Francis Jr., and in 1741 to his brother John; in 1748, to his sone Francis Jr. and Nicholas, and to his daughters, Mrs. turner and Mrs. Duncan. In 1747, he was granted two tracts, of 100 and of 430 acres, in the north Little Ford, and in 1753 he bought 100 acres on the middle run, Culpepper County, Virginia."
